Choose your base
A beautiful room is welcome, but location matters just as much. Stay in Reims if you want restaurants and sights within walking distance, choose Épernay for the Avenue de Champagne, or sleep among the vines when the hotel itself should be part of the trip.
Start with the way you travel
There is no single best place to stay. The useful question is whether you want to walk, drive through the vineyards or settle into one memorable address.
Best for the cathedral, restaurants, the station and several major Champagne houses.
Close to the villagesÉpernay and the AvenueA compact centre with easy access to Hautvillers, Aÿ and the Vallée de la Marne.
The hotel is the occasionAmong the vineyardsBring a car or arrange transfers, then give yourself time for the view, dinner and the spa.
Seven addresses worth comparing
We chose these places for their location and the kind of Champagne weekend they make possible. Rates and availability change constantly, so check them with the property before deciding.
Reims · right opposite the cathedral
A former fire station in the historic centre, now a hotel with a spa and rooms facing Notre-Dame. A strong choice when you want to arrive by train and spend the evening on foot.
Reims · Parc de Champagne
A small luxury hotel in a seven-hectare park near the great chalk-cellar houses. Come here for the full occasion: the château, the grounds and dinner are as important as the room.
Épernay · Avenue de Champagne
This nineteenth-century Mercier family house sits directly on the Avenue de Champagne, with a wooded garden, outdoor pool and private parking. It is a polished base for exploring Épernay on foot.
Épernay · between centre and Avenue
A practical boutique hotel between the town centre and the Avenue de Champagne. Its 29 rooms make sense when you want a central address without turning the hotel into the largest part of the budget.
Champillon · above the Marne Valley
Forty-seven rooms and suites look across the vineyards from the hillside above Champillon. Choose it for a special stay with restaurants, indoor and outdoor pools and a serious spa—not merely as a place to sleep.
Vertus · Côte des Blancs
A renovated inn in the centre of Vertus with 41 rooms and suites, a Champagne-themed interior, restaurant Terre de Craie and bar. A convenient base for producers in the southern Côte des Blancs.
Les Riceys · Côte des Bar
A three-star hotel and gîte in a characterful old building in Ricey-Bas. It puts you in the middle of Les Riceys, where Champagne, Coteaux Champenois and Rosé des Riceys meet.
Aÿ-Champagne · stay with a grower
Guest rooms, a spa and Champagne under one roof at a grower’s address in Aÿ. It suits travellers who prefer a village atmosphere and are comfortable arranging their transport in advance.
Before you book
If dinner and a few glasses of Champagne are part of the plan, a walkable hotel is often worth more than a cheaper room outside town.
Central hotels may charge for parking or use a nearby public garage. In the villages, confirm whether you can leave the car overnight.
Harvest season, long weekends and major events can fill the best-located rooms quickly. Reserve a cancellable option while you plan the visits.
