An historic and well-preserved garrison town with a 3, 000-year-old history, Metz is close to the French borders with Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. Though located at the town's centre, the Comfort Hotel Cecil Metz Gare provides easy access to the motorway and is a thirty minute drive from Lorraine Airport. Many of Metz's notable landmarks — from the Metz Cathedral to the Pomidou Centre (a regional branch of Paris's famed museum of modern art) — are in walking distance of the hotel, while the surrounding streets are well-provisioned by several restaurants, grocery shops, a pharmacy and a petrol station.
