Hotels near Épinal-Mirecourt Airport

Épinal-Mirecourt airport is in Juvaincourt, about 40 km north-west of Épinal: there's no shuttle, so you need a rental car or a taxi booked in advance, because the airfield is isolated and local taxis aren't always ready on the spot. Since the distance is the same whichever part of the city you choose, the real question isn't "close to or far from the airport" but what kind of stay you prefer in Épinal: the banks of the Moselle in the centre, a quiet district with golf on the edge of town, or a hotel with pool and spa designed for business travellers.
