Raise a flute to Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa. The UNESCO-designated wine region’s first destination spa pays fizzy tribute to the historic vineyards (including those of Moët & Chandon) that lie just beyond its infinity-edge pool and walls of windows. Forty-seven rooms and suites are spread across the original 19th-century coaching inn and a modernist wing crafted from glass and local quartz. Look for bubbles everywhere – in the metalwork, light fixtures in the one-Michelin-starred restaurant, and wall etchings in the rooms. Shimmery golden wallpaper adds an effervescent touch to Biologique Recherche spa treatments.

Les Crayères is a mythical property in the heart of Reims, nestled discreetly in a seven hectare park full of lush vegetation. This former home of the de Polignac family permanently recreates and modernises the “chateau style” in an atmosphere which is one of elegant sophistication. Perfectly appointed rooms and suites await with a love of detail which is characteristic for pure classical French style. The warm welcome, impeccable service and MOF (Best Craftsman of France) Chef Philippe Mille’s gourmet restaurant with its wine list featuring more than 600 champagne labels, make this the ideal place to start discovering all the treasures of this region.
