L’Odyssée, the Parc Astérix’s new hotel: bookings are now open

Parc Astérix is now taking reservations for L'Odyssée, its new four-star hotel in the Oise. This 300-room themed caravanserai takes guests on a journey to Egypt, Phoenicia, Persia and Mesopotamia from March 26, 2027.

Parc Astérix is already taking reservations for L'Odyssée, its fourth 4-star hotel, located in Plailly, in the Oise department (60). This grand caravanserai, with 300 themed rooms, will welcome its first guests from March 26, 2027, with four destinations on the itinerary: Egypt, Phoenicia, Persia and Mesopotamia.

We first saw the project's preliminary designs when the park unveiled its new developments in fall 2025. A year later, construction is nearing completion, and bookings opened on October 30, 2026, on the official Parc Astérix website. With this new hotel, the resort's capacity will increase from 450 to 750 rooms.

The hotel is part of the €250 million investment plan the park is carrying out through 2030. Its inspiration comes from the 1981 album Asterix and the Black Gold, in which our Gauls head to the East in search of an ingredient for the magic potion. It’s a story of travel, perfectly suited to a change-of-scenery getaway some 40 kilometers from Paris.

Who came up with L'Odyssée Hôtel?

For the design, the park once again turned to Thierry Retif, the designer behind Les Quais de Lutèce, named the world’s best themed hotel in 2020. He is also responsible for Station Cosmos at Futuroscope and several hotels at Puy du Fou.

This time, he sets aside the wood and woodland atmosphere of the other three hotels in favor of a more mineral aesthetic, inspired by caravanserais. These fortified inns once lined the trade routes of the East, offering a stopover for merchants and their caravans.

L'Odyssée takes up this principle with a building arranged around courtyards. Behind its sand-colored facades lies a green heart: the park has never invested so much in the green spaces of one of its hotels. The building is also HQE-certified (High Environmental Quality).

What are the hotel’s four themed courses like?

The real highlight of L'Odyssée is its four themed courtyards, one for each civilization visited by Asterix and Obelix. Each has its own vegetation, water features and façades that match the setting, like four districts in the same trading city.

The Egyptian courtyard takes us to the banks of the Nile, amid papyrus, lotus flowers and date palms. The Mesopotamian courtyard, meanwhile, evokes the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, with fountains, waterfalls, pools, climbing plants and aromatic herbs.

The Persian courtyard plays on fragrance with its rose bushes, bougainvillea, jasmine and orange trees. The Phoenician courtyard, meanwhile, evokes the trading posts of the Mediterranean with its olive and fig trees, a nod to the great navigators of antiquity.

At the heart of these four worlds, an oasis planted with palm trees and arranged around a pool serves as the central square. That is the whole charm of the place: a fortress-like exterior, and a lush garden as soon as you step through the gate, like a mirage that has decided to stay.

A garden called the Pomegranate Tree Garden connects the hotel to the park, spanning a stream. As with the other three hotels, a pedestrian path leads to a dedicated entrance to the attractions.

How many rooms and suites does L'Odyssée have?

With its 300 themed rooms, L'Odyssée becomes the largest hotel at Parc Astérix, twice the size of each of the other three. The breakdown includes 16 three-person rooms, 216 four-person rooms, 62 five-person rooms and 6 six-person rooms, as well as rooms adapted for people with disabilities.

Those who have stayed overnight at the park will find a familiar layout: a double bed that can be split into two singles and an alcove with bunk beds, in rooms of around 30 m², all air-conditioned. They overlook either the themed courtyards or the forest, but never the parking lot.

For special occasions, 4 exclusive suites occupy the second floor, each with a very large private terrace. According to the first reports published by the specialist guide Ooparc, they range in size from 53 to 90 m² and can accommodate four people.

What restaurants and bar are there at L'Odyssée Hôtel?

On the dining front, the hotel has two restaurants: Restaurant des Marchands and Restaurant des Sables. Both serve breakfast and dinner buffet-style. The restaurants at the park’s hotels have a fairly good reputation, well above the fast food outlets along the walkways, and we hope to find the same standard here.

For an end-of-day drink, head to L'Oasis, the bar upstairs with its terrace. It’s the kind of place to put your feet up after a full day of attractions, with views over the Oriental gardens. The original plan called for a bar on the ground floor and a rooftop on the fourth floor; in the end, they opted for a single bar up above.

Families can make use of a children’s play area, ideal for helping the little ones burn off the rest of their energy. A first for the park, a 1,500 m² conference space with a 400-seat plenary hall also caters to business travellers. A four-level silo car park preserves the views from the gardens.

How much does a night cost, and how do you book L'Odyssée?

Stays can be booked directly on the Parc Astérix hotels page, which offers packages combining an overnight hotel stay with a day at the park. According to the specialist website Parc Attraction Loisirs, prices start at €328.30 for a one-day, one-night stay for two adults and two children, or around €82 per person. As management announced, L'Odyssée is located between La Cité Suspendue and Les Quais de Lutèce.

As at the park’s other hotels, guests can access the attractions 30 minutes before the official opening time, as stated in the press release reported by TourMaG. A real perk for making a beeline for the roller coasters before the queues get longer.

Who is a stay at L'Odyssée for?

This stay is aimed first and foremost at families looking to make Parc Astérix a true short-break destination, rather than just a day of thrills. Fans of themed hotels will also find plenty to enjoy, as the decor promises to be part of the experience.

A quick word of warning, though: like the park’s three other hotels, this one has neither a swimming pool nor a spa. It’s also best to book early, as the existing hotels have an average annual occupancy rate of 90%, and the first few weeks after a new hotel opens are always in high demand.

If the opening dates don’t fit your schedule, there are two other hotels in the park to discover: the Cité Suspendue, with its rooms perched on stilts in the forest, and Quais de Lutèce, which recreates Gallo-Roman Paris on the waterfront.

L’Odyssée is just one stage in the park’s major development project, which includes plans to open the Londinium area in 2028. The park aims to open 270 days a year and has already seen visitor numbers rise from 2.32 million to 2.9 million. That’s enough to make you want to come back—and perhaps, this time, stay overnight in the Orient.
