If Le Golf National is the main event, Novotel Saint Quentin en Yvelines puts you exactly where you want to be, just minutes from the Albatros Course, host of The Ryder Cup in 2018. It's a genuinely handy base for early tee times and stress-free returns after a long day on a championship test, with the Paris region's other quality courses also within easy reach.
The hotel is a modern, recently refurbished, 4-star option that's been refreshed in recent years, so it feels up to date without pretending to be a five-star resort. You're also only a short hop from Versailles and around 30 minutes from central Paris, which is ideal if your group wants to mix serious golf with a bit of sightseeing, dinners out or a day in the city.

The Novotel has 131 rooms designed for comfort and practicality rather than flash. Think good beds, modern amenities and a clean, contemporary feel, the sort of setup that works well when your priority is getting a proper night's sleep before another round. Rooms have been updated as part of the recent refurbishment, so everything feels fresh and functional without being overstated. Service is efficient and geared towards groups, so the basics tend to run smoothly: check-in, getting organised and heading out on time.
The staff understand how golfers operate, which shows in the small details. There's space to store clubs securely, breakfast timings are flexible enough to suit early tee times and the whole operation feels like it's been set up by people who've hosted plenty of golf groups before. If you're travelling as a society or with a larger party, the hotel handles the logistics without fuss, leaving you free to concentrate on the golf.
Off the course, you've got enough on site to keep everyone happy. There's a swimming pool and fitness centre for a recovery session after 18 holes, plus two tennis courts if anyone fancies a change of pace. For a more relaxed evening, there's also boules, pétanque and snooker, handy for groups staying a few nights who want something to do without trekking into the city.
Food and drink is straightforward and golfer-friendly. The hotel runs two bars and three restaurants, including a late-opening option that suits those finishing evening rounds or travelling back from the course. The overall vibe is relaxed rather than formal, making it a good fit for societies and groups who want an easy meal and a drink without overthinking it. The dining is reliable, the atmosphere is sociable and the late service means you're not rushing back to beat the kitchen closing.
Ultimately, the biggest luxury here is the location. Being close to Le Golf National means less time in the car and more time doing what you came for: playing one of the standout tests in France. The hotel sits in a good position for exploring the other courses around Saint Quentin en Yvelines too, so if you're planning a multi-course trip, this works as a sensible central base. If you're after a dependable hotel that keeps the trip simple and puts you in the right place, this does the job.

Taxi to hotel is very expensive especially during rush hour! Staff very welcoming, rooms were comfy but very very hot, air con was on for 2 minutes the off for 30 and with windows not opening much it didn't help either. Restaurants, the club house for lunch was very nice doing sandwiches to take on course but it closes from 5/6. Restaurant opens at 7:30 but menu there wasn't a great variety. we had to ask for burgers on the final night!!
