The Best Hotels Near Bistrot DuPont, by the Record

  1. The Knights Templar built the original structure in the 12th century, which either makes the exposed stonework very atmospheric or very haunted, depending on your disposition. This eleven-room hotel in Troyes' old quarter lets the flagstone floors and timber beams do the talking rather than gilding everything in sight, which, for the Champagne region, counts as admirable restraint. The courtyard handles breakfast in summer, and the in-house restaurant pairs local cooking with regional wine.


  2. A timber-framed medieval facade around the corner from Troyes' great Gothic cathedral, belonging to a local family who spent decades turning their home and a cluster of 15th-century neighbors into a small luxury boutique hotel. Stone floors, exposed beams, brick archways, and antique furniture fill the rooms, with upper suites under steeply vaulted ceilings. Breakfast moves to the ivy-framed courtyard when the weather cooperates, and a small spa handles the rest.




  3. A vine-covered château outside that looks exactly how a Burgundy country house should, and inside a rotating gallery of bespoke Dutch design and contemporary art that somehow never feels like a museum. This ten-room hotel earns a Michelin Key with spaces built to sprawl in, a pool designed for doing nothing, a spa, and a locavore restaurant whose menu shifts with whatever the region is offering.


  4. The rooftop bar looks straight at Sens Cathedral, which sets the tone for a hotel that has placed itself, very deliberately, in the middle of everything worth seeing in town. Suites face the neo-renaissance town hall or the rooftops, the restaurant leans into Burgundy produce and wine, and there's a playroom, a small fitness room, and in-room treatments when you'd rather skip a spa. A Michelin Selected Hotel.


  5. Rooms and suites at this refined small hotel in Burgundy look out over the river Yonne and forested hills, many with private patios for sitting with the landscape. The Lorain family has run it for generations, and the residential warmth shows: you feel like a houseguest with better linens. A two-level spa, hammam, and heated pool handle the recovery between vineyard visits and long dinners downstairs.


  6. A stone manor deep in Burgundy wine country, Château de Courban keeps its period bones, the grand exteriors, the quietly formal public rooms, while fitting contemporary comfort inside without making it obvious. Rooms feel genuinely old-world, the spa runs thoroughly modern, and the pool deck gives you a good excuse to stay put between vineyard excursions. The restaurant draws guests who planned around it, not just people who happened to be staying.
