Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched in southeast Reims, the estate sits minutes from legendary Champagne houses and the city's ancient Roman chalk cellars.
The rooms
Pierre Frey fabrics, canopy beds, and gilded oil paintings dress each bedroom, with views over formal courtyards or wooded gardens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor swimming pool sits beneath exposed timber trusses, looking through floor-to-ceiling glass out onto the park.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Le Parc
The two-Michelin-starred dining room serves French haute cuisine beneath crystal chandeliers, with a cellar of roughly a thousand Champagnes.
The period-relevant design is transporting while the food, in the Michelin-starred restaurant is memorable for its modernity.
At the table
Brasserie Le Jardin serves casual seasonal fare in the former stables, and Bar La Rotonde hosts regular jazz evenings.
How it began
Commissioned in 1904 for the Pommery Champagne dynasty, the estate was reimagined as an aristocratic hotel retreat in 1983.
