A Favorite in Reims: The Hôtel Les Crayères, the legendary 5-star hotel near the Champagne cellars
Once the home of the Marquise de Polignac, the Domaine des Crayères is a true rural oasis just a stone's throw from downtown Reims. This sumptuous five-star Relais & Châteaux property, the most beautiful hotel in Reims is surrounded by a 7-hectare park, ideal for a stroll after lunch or to work up an appetite before dinner. About twenty rooms and suites are spread across the château’s various wings, most of which offer a direct view of the park. The interior décor is a true tribute to the French art of living, featuring rare furniture, period paintings, and plush carpets. This refinement extends to the dining room, with its beautiful wood paneling and grand fireplaces.
It is in this dining room—or on the terrace when the weather permits—that guests can savor the innovative and refined dishes created by the two-Michelin-starred chef Philippe Mille. As a lover of fine ingredients and the stories of those who grow them, the chef has done a remarkable job of showcasing the Champagne region’s terroir. These dishes are like works of art that pay tribute to local artisans and producers. For meals that are a bit less exclusive but just as delicious, head to Le Jardin, the brasserie located at the far end of the park, where you’ll find ingredients carefully selected by the chef, presented in slightly simpler dishes.
A superb spot and one of the most beautiful hotels in Champagne—you’ll quickly feel like you’re in a world of your own!
