The Charmant Hotel is a 67-room upscale boutique hotel in historic 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 former Joseph B. Funke Candy Company. Charmant is also the French word for “charming,” reflecting the hotel’s friendliness, whimsy, and allure. Event spaces are designed for a wide range of gatherings including parties, wedding ceremonies and receptions. The Serenada accommodates up to 40 for sit-down functions or 50 for standing receptions/theater-style events. The Royal Crown is a boardroom that accommodates 14 for a sit-down functions. The Rooftop Terrace perched atop the hotel, accommodates 30 for a sit-down function or up to 75 for a standing function.
