Domaine Les Crayères
Old-money French château. Think hunting portraits, soaring chandeliers, parquet floors, and impeccable formality softened by genuinely warm service. A Relais & Châteaux member through and through — small, intimate, and focused entirely on gastronomy and Champagne.
Book Le Parc well in advance — it's open only Wednesday through Sunday for both lunch and dinner, and demand is high
Why It Matters
3 Michelin Keys for the hotel, 2 Michelin Stars for Restaurant Le Parc (ranked in La Liste world top 200), and a Bib Gourmand for Brasserie Le Jardin. Elected among the 40 most beautiful hotels in France by Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice 2021. Named Best Hotel in France and 3rd Resort Hotel in France by Travel + Leisure. The wine list at Bar La Rotonde runs to 3,300 references including 1,000 champagnes. The Pommery cellars are a short walk away.
A 5-star Belle Époque château sitting in seven manicured hectares on the edge of Reims, Domaine Les Crayères is the former private home of the De Polignac family — the same dynasty behind the Pommery Champagne house. The interior was designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon, all French classicism and warm tones, and the 20 rooms feel genuinely residential rather than corporate-grand. The main draw, honestly, is the food: Chef Christophe Moret holds two Michelin stars at Le Parc, and even the casual brasserie on the grounds has earned a Bib Gourmand.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Chambre Impériale
The top of the range, at around 55 m². High ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, traditional and refined décor, and views across the entire estate. Named for the style of Madame de Polignac's era. The largest and grandest rooms in the property. Bathtub and separate shower.
Queen or twin beds · 55 sqm
Deluxe Room
Soft, bright rooms with subtly decorated interiors. Each has its own unique character. One Deluxe Room sits in the Cottage annexe next to the château and comes with a private terrace and walk-in shower — worth requesting. Most rooms look out over the park or the château wings.
Queen or twin beds · 45 sqmJunior Suite
Four suites across the château and the Cottage. The Cottage units are arguably the better pick: they have private terraces and a more secluded feel. Separate sitting room in all four. Good choice for families with children up to 12, or for a romantic stay where you want a bit of space to spread out.
Queen or twin beds · 45 sqm
Prestige Room
The four Prestige Rooms are considered the sweet spot of the house. High-quality materials, characterful furniture, and all of them look directly onto the park. Marble bathrooms are a recurring feature. TripAdvisor guests consistently single these out for their proportions and the garden views from the bathtub.
Queen or twin beds · 50 sqmSuperior Room
Located in the wings and sides of the château, these are the entry-level rooms. Warm, delicate color palette, harmonious décor. A solid start, though at under 40 m² they're the most compact option in the house. Queen or twin bed configuration. All have a bathtub and a separate shower.
