What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The glamorous Beaux-Arts-style corner building is historic, and plenty of in-room details are quintessentially French — gilded mirrors, elegant writing desks, original oak beams, quaint dormer windows — but the handmade custom beds, heated limestone floors, and smart-looking blue-tiled cocktail bar feel refreshingly modern.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors face Place Fleury, and the historic Hospices de Beaune is just a minute away on foot.
The rooms
French blue doors open to bedrooms with exposed oak ceiling beams. Bathrooms are finished in local Burgundy stone.
Restaurant
Slanted Door
Charles Phan’s kitchen prepares Vietnamese dishes using local Burgundian produce, served at tables beside exposed stone walls.
The Cocktail Bar at Slanted Door
Bartenders pour craft cocktails, rare whiskeys, and Chartreuse beneath glowing bottle arches set against deep blue walls.
How it began
The hotel grew from a thirty-year friendship between California hotelier David Fink and Beaune's historic Drouhin winemaking family.
