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.

Choose what matters most to you.
Start with location and transport. A spa or a vineyard view is lovely, but not when every dinner requires another drive.
Fifteen addresses to compare
These addresses are selected for their location and for the kind of weekend they make easy. Prices and availability change constantly; always check them with the accommodation.
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.
Reims · Les Halles
A small twenty-room hotel in a quiet street near Les Halles du Boulingrin. There is no lift, but the station, shops and restaurants are close and reservable private garages are available nearby.
Reims · Place Drouet-d’Erlon
A four-star hotel in a nineteenth-century townhouse on the lively pedestrian square between the station and the cathedral. Choose it when restaurants and an evening stroll matter more than a resort setting.
Reims · Rue Buirette
A large, comfortable four-star base in the city centre with a heated indoor pool, sauna, restaurant and reservable private parking. Useful for travellers who want facilities without giving up a walkable location.
Épernay · town centre
A twelve-room four-star boutique hotel in a townhouse, less than five minutes on foot from the station and close to the Avenue de Champagne. The intimate scale is the main reason to choose it.
Mutigny · vineyard hillside
A contemporary wine hotel above the vineyards near Épernay, with 101 rooms and suites, a heated outdoor pool, saunas, brasserie and champagne bar. Bring a car or arrange transfers.
Vinay · south of Épernay
A country-house hotel in a landscaped setting a short drive south of Épernay. Secure parking, spa and restaurant make it especially suitable for a quiet night between visits in the Côte des Blancs.
Troyes · cathedral quarter
A five-star boutique hotel in the historic centre of Troyes, close to the cathedral, museums and half-timbered streets. Its indoor pool and spa make this a polished base before or after the Côte des Bar.

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.
Some marked Booking.com buttons may earn Champagne Holiday a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you.
