Venue Settings
Bienvenue! Welcome to the Charmant, a 67-room luxury boutique hotel in downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin. Our hotel is a renovated candy factory, built in 1898. Architectural details of the original building have been preserved and reimagined, including maple wood flooring, wood beams, and exposed brick. Some say these materials still emanate the sweet smell of candy. Regarding our name, Charmant was a premium line of chocolates produced by the resident candy company. Charmant is also the French word for “charming,” reflecting the hotel’s friendliness, whimsy, and allure.
Embracing locals and visitors alike, the Charmant is the coeur—heart—of hospitality in La Crosse. Our rooms and suites feature premium amenities. Event spaces are available for business gatherings. Our inviting restaurant serves rustic French cuisine, from a menu consisting of café-inspired classics as well as daily specials highlighting seasonal produce. Utilizing regionally sourced ingredients, the dishes emerging from the open kitchen are fresh, simple, and down-to-earth. Additional food and beverage venues at the Charmant include a lobby bar and lounge, a “parlour” offering coffee and spirits, a rooftop bar serving wood-fired pizza, and a sweet bar with pastries and handmade confections. Bon appétit!

The scene
La Crosse is on the western border of Wisconsin, along the eastern edge of the Mississippi River. The city is 140 miles northwest of Madison, 140 miles southeast of St. Paul, and 120 miles north of Dubuque. The hotel is a 15-minute drive from La Crosse Regional Airport.
Design
Architectural details of the original structure, now a historic landmark, have been preserved and reimagined, including maple wood flooring, wood beams, and exposed brick. Some say these materials still emanate the sweet smell of candy.
The Charmant Hotel’s connection to local history goes even deeper. The hotel is located on the site of the very first building in La Crosse, a log cabin constructed by fur trader Nathan Myrick in 1842. A plaque memorializing this distinction can be seen on the property.
