Kyriad Grenoble Centre

This place is an ideal, hassle-free staging post right on the edge of the French Alps. Dealing with city hotels can sometimes be a headache for security, but here you just roll straight into a private, gated ground-level parking lot tucked securely at the back of the property. Having the cameras on the bikes gives you proper peace of mind overnight. They lay out a solid breakfast buffet starting early at 6:30 AM, which is exactly what you want when you're looking to get a jump on the day and beat the city commute traffic before linking up with the iconic Route Napoléon.
