Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa

The place

Above the vineyards of Champillon, a historic inn meets its sleek contemporary extension. The 47 suites take their cues from the landscape — earthy hues, natural materials, elegant modern furniture, a marble bathroom, floral murals. Each keeps a private balcony over the vines.

The spa is the deeper reason to linger. An outdoor infinity pool held against the view, a heated pool indoors, a steam room, a sauna, a yoga studio, a fitness space, treatment cabins.

Two restaurants and a bar. At Le Royal, one Michelin star and an opulent French table.
