Luxury hotels in Reims: 8 castles and champagne houses

The Domaine les Crayères occupies a château built in 1904 for the Polignac family, a champagne figure, at the heart of a seven-hectare park right in Reims. We enter via an avenue lined with centenary trees, far from the city's noise yet ten minutes on foot. The 20 rooms and suites feature light wood panelling, thick fabrics and high windows overlooking the lawns or flowering beds. Rates start at 744 € per night, a level that reflects both the place and the table. For here, we also come (especially) for the restaurant Le Parc, two Michelin stars under chef Philippe Mille. The service, very personal, keeps the promise of an establishment that has hosted the great champagne houses for decades. The only downside: the very classic style of the decor will not surprise fans of contemporary design 😌.

The Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa overlooks the vineyard between Reims and Épernay, at the place called Hameau de Bellevue. The score of 9,5/10 from 113 reviews is likely due to this balance between rural calm and palace comfort, far from the city centre facades. Two pools coexist on the property, an uncommon configuration for an establishment of this category. The spa and fitness centre complete an offer designed for stays that stretch over several days, not for a simple business stopover. Count 823 € per night for an entry-level room. The airport shuttle and private parking simplify access to a site that one does not come across by chance on a city stroll. We regret the absence of precise information on the table, the only shadow area in the file 😌.

Salon Boyer occupies a quiet plot to the east of Reims, on avenue Paul Chandon, far from the bustle of the historic centre. The façade does not rely on ostentation: here, the rating speaks for the hotel, 9/10 from 81 reviews, a solid score for a recent 5-star. The rooms, all non-smoking, benefit from free Wi-Fi covering the entire property, right to the bar. The spa and wellness centre remain modest in size, but welcome after a day in the Champagne cellars. On the logistics side, the private and free parking really changes the game, just like the airport shuttle, a detail that sets the address apart from its local competitors. Count on 318 € per night approximately for a stay without surprises, including room service. We simply regret the lack of detailed information on the restaurant menu, which the establishment keeps to itself 😌.

Briqueterie Champagne, A Beauvallon Hotel & Spa lives up to its name: the building retains the silhouette of a former industrial site, converted to become a 5-star address on the outskirts of Reims. We arrive via the road to Sézanne, heading towards the vineyard, far from the bustle of the city centre. The indoor pool and the fitness centre occupy a good part of the wellness programme, complemented by a spa that remains the number one argument in guest reviews. The non-smoking rooms are designed for families as much as for couples on a relaxing weekend. The rate starts at 195,2 € per night, consistent for a 5-star with spa outside major metropolises. We regret the lack of precise information on the table and the chef, the establishment communicates little on this point. A pragmatic address more than an object of architectural desire, but one that fulfils its relaxation contract. 😌

La Caserne Chanzy Hotel & Spa, Autograph Collection settles into a 19th-century military building, a short walk from Reims historic centre. We still sense the scale of the original barracks: high ceilings, stone façades, an assumed austerity softened by the interior design. The spa and fitness centre occupy part of the ground floor, with equipment accessible to guests with reduced mobility. The score of 8.6/10 from 1210 Booking reviews confirms steady service rather than a marketing flourish. Family rooms and the welcome of pets broaden the audience beyond the business traveller alone. Expect from 203,73 € a night, a rate consistent for five-star accommodation in Champagne. Private parking and the airport shuttle simplify arrival, without turning the address into an airport hotel 😌.

Les Suites du Champagne de Venoge occupy an address with an evocative name, right in the heart of Reims, historic capital of champagne. The name pays homage to the Venoge house, founded in 1837, a welcome nod in a city where every street seems to tell a story of bubbles. Here, all units are announced as suites, a promise of rare space for an urban 5-star. The private and free parking on site remains a real differentiator, a precious commodity in the city centre. On the equipment side, free wifi covers the entire property, even in the common areas. Count from 222 € per night, a rate that remains contained for the 5-star category in France. With a score of 9.3/10 on 427 reviews, the establishment displays a regularity that reassures more than it impresses. 😌

Maison de Champagne F.Barbier carries a name that sounds like a promise, in Reims, capital of champagne. Rates start at 327 € per night, a budget that for now includes neither restaurant nor spa identified on site, only rooms and personalised service. On Avenue Jean Jaurès, the address sits at a distance from the historic centre, far from the cathedral and the major champagne houses. We find free wifi throughout the property and a private parking space at no extra charge, a discreet luxury in a city where parking can sometimes be a challenge. Family rooms and the welcome of pets broaden the audience, from a couple's weekend to a stay with children or dog. With 47 reviews and a score of 9.2/10, the establishment shows a consistency that reassures without (yet) being a historic reference. We remain honest: public data remains thin on the decor and the table, which invites checking on site before booking blind 😌.

The LOISIUM Wine & Spa Hotel Champagne settles between vines and forest edge, a few minutes from the centre of Reims. The light wood and glass façade opens onto rows of pinot noir as far as the eye can see, without a building on the horizon. From 152 € a night, we get a non-smoking room with access to the spa and the fitness centre. The real asset remains the heated indoor pool facing the hillsides, a rare luxury for an establishment in this region. The spa occupies an entire wing, designed to extend champagne tastings with treatments rather than to compete with the major Parisian addresses. The restaurant focuses on local products, without a star or announced media chef. Room service, airport shuttle and free parking complete the set, practical for business travellers as well as for wine lovers on extended stays. 😌
