Ginkgo is worth shortlisting if you want an easy Quimper base with MICHELIN Guide hotel recognition and central access. Treat it as a practical city stay rather than a resort-style escape; the value is strongest when rates are calm outside peak Brittany travel periods.
About Ginkgo
Ginkgo appears in the MICHELIN Guide hotel selection for 2025. That makes it worth considering for a stay in Quimper, while still keeping the decision grounded in the basics of your own dates. It is best treated as a Quimper hotel option with a recognized guide listing, with rooms, services, dining, and facilities confirmed directly before booking.
The useful appeal is the city itself: if your trip is built around time in Quimper, Ginkgo belongs on the shortlist. Before booking, check the current rate, room type, cancellation terms, and any services that matter to your stay. Use Our full Quimper hotels guide for the wider hotel shortlist, then add Our full Quimper restaurants guide if meals are driving the trip.
Choose it for a Quimper stay, with details confirmed before booking
The practical read is simple: Ginkgo is best approached as a Quimper hotel with a MICHELIN Guide Hotels Selected 2025 listing. It may suit travelers who want to base themselves in the city, but the right choice depends on the specific room, rate, and services available for your dates.
For a broader shortlist, compare Ginkgo with other regional options such as Les Garennes, Hôtel du Bac, Villa Tri Men, Hôtel de la Plage, and Auberge des Glazicks. The main question is not whether one is universally better, but whether you want to stay in Quimper or choose a different setting for the trip.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Ginkgo reads as a small, carefully curated town‑centre hotel that leans into Quimper’s historic fabric. It presents an intimate, charming presence rather than resort scale, trading large inventories for considered design and a strong sense of place. The hotel’s Michelin Selected designation underscores comfort and character as central to the experience, and its location on Rue du Chanoine Moreau places it within the medieval street grid beside the city’s defining Gothic cathedral. Guests can expect a refined, compact property that feels embedded in Quimper’s architectural story rather than an anonymous contemporary development.
Best For
Ginkgo is best for travellers prioritising cultural proximity and a compact, quality‑driven stay. It suits couples on a romantic getaway, guests seeking a wellness‑focused break in a calm urban setting, and visitors looking for a weekend escape anchored in Quimper’s medieval centre. The hotel’s small scale and curated positioning make it appealing to those who want to explore the cathedral, museums and historic streets on foot rather than travellers seeking a beach resort. Its Michelin Selected status signals reliable standards for guests cross‑referencing boutique options across France.
Stay Tips
When assessing Ginkgo, use the Michelin Selected distinction as a practical filter: it denotes a hotel that meets a threshold of comfort and character rather than a high‑volume resort. Choose this property if proximity to Quimper’s Cathedral and the medieval centre is a priority, and expect a contained, considered offering rather than extensive on‑site facilities. The hotel is positioned within the town centre market rather than the region’s coastal resort belt, so plan your stay around walking‑based exploration of the city’s architectural and cultural highlights.

Hotel context
How Ginkgo compares in and around Quimper
Ginkgo is the practical Quimper pick when the priority is staying in town with low booking friction. Les Garennes, Hôtel du Bac, and Villa Tri Men are better cross-shops if the trip is more about a quieter coastal or out-of-town setting than being based in Quimper itself.
For value, Ginkgo is easiest to justify when its rate stays below the more atmospheric coastal options. Hôtel de la Plage should be on the list for travelers who want the water to shape the stay, while Auberge des Glazicks is the splurge comparison if the trip is built around a higher-touch food-and-stay experience.
The short version: choose Ginkgo for city access and simpler logistics; choose Villa Tri Men or Hôtel du Bac for more breathing room; choose Hôtel de la Plage for a coast-first break; choose Auberge des Glazicks when the hotel needs to feel like the main event.
