La Caserne Chanzy
Converted heritage building with industrial-chic bones and a Champagne terroir design language. Think cognac leather, blue-and-red firefighter colour nods, and a lobby that plays with the effervescence of the drink through light and texture. Warm rather than flashy. Sophisticated without feeling stiff.
Book a Cathedral room or Skyline room well in advance — cathedral-view rooms sell out fast, and non-view rooms face a rear street that can feel ordinary for the price.
Why It Matters
Reims' only five-star hotel in the city center, located literally across the street from one of the great Gothic cathedrals on the planet. The Cathedral rooms and Skyline balconies put you close enough to see the floodlit stonework from your pillow. The 100-year anniversary of the original 1926 fire station inauguration is being marked in 2026 with a commissioned artwork on the façade by artist IEMZA.
A 1926 Art Deco fire station turned five-star hotel in 2019, sitting directly opposite Notre-Dame Cathedral in the heart of Reims. The building still carries the bones of its firefighting past — industrial terrazzo floors, ladder fittings, a lobby palette of raw materials and neutral tones — now layered with Champagne-country references in every detail. At 89 rooms, it's intimate enough to feel personal, large enough to have a serious spa, two restaurants, and a champagne bar under a glass roof. The concept is Champagne immersion: the region's history, craft, and bubbles woven into the stay rather than bolted on as an afterthought.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Beaux-Arts Room
The roomiest of the standard categories at 28–31 sqm. Faces the Musée des Beaux-Arts rather than the cathedral, which means a quieter outlook. Sleeps up to three with an extra bed — a solid family or friends option.
King or Twin · 29.5 sqmCathedral Room
The most sought-after standard room. You wake up with a direct line of sight to Notre-Dame Cathedral — the room is small, 20–21 sqm, but the view more than compensates. King bed only, elegant without being overpowering.
King · 20.5 sqmChanzy Room
The entry-level room, warm and calm with a palette of gold, green, and beige drawn from Champagne vineyard landscapes. Overlooks the inner courtyard — quiet, but no cathedral view. Compact but well-equipped. King or twin configuration.
King or Twin · 22.5 sqmRooftop Duplex
A split-level suite at 45–58 sqm, the most family-friendly option on the property. Sleeps 2 adults and 2 children (sofa bed). Private terrace with a view of the original firefighter drying tower — a genuine piece of history you can look at over breakfast. Has a bathtub, which other room types don't always guarantee.
King + Sofa Bed · 51.5 sqm
Skyline Room
The sweet spot for cathedral views with outdoor space. A private terrace faces directly onto Notre-Dame — best enjoyed over an evening glass of champagne. Ranges 23–37 sqm depending on specific unit. Top-category standard amenities.
