What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Grand Hôtel La Cloche is, from the outside, an absolutely spectacular Belle Époque edifice, dating back to the 1880s.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Darcy Park sits directly opposite the entrance, and the historic Porte Guillaume leads straight into the pedestrian Old Town.

The rooms
Rooms overlook Place Darcy or the inner garden, hung with artwork reproduced from Dijon's Musée des Beaux-Arts.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Hydromassage jets power the counter-current pool, lit in deep blue beneath the cellar's historic stone vaults.
The spa and gym
Treatment rooms use Vinésime grape-extract skincare, and the fitness studio is equipped with Technogym cardio and weight stations.
Restaurant
Les Jardins by La Cloche
Tables under the glass conservatory roof look out on the landscaped courtyard and Richard Orlinski's red bear sculpture.
At the table
Le Bar by La Cloche serves regional Burgundy wines. DJs play lounge sets here on Friday and Saturday evenings.
How it began
The name dates to a 1424 coaching inn, where a roadside bell signaled open doors to merchants and pilgrims.
