The Best Hotels Near La Grangée, by the Record
-
-
A billiards room named after Charles X tells you something about the register of this Burgundy hotel. The 34 individually decorated rooms range from standard to junior suite, many with garden-facing terraces, and the public spaces extend to a library, an outdoor pool, and a Roman-style spa with a mud bath. The famous restaurant downstairs, La Côte d'Or, holds two Michelin stars, and the cellar is exactly what you'd hope Burgundy would deliver.
-
A castle hotel in the Burgundy countryside, with a medieval moat you can fish for pike in, which is not something most concierges can say with a straight face. The 13 rooms and three suites keep things genuinely residential in scale, and the grandest was once set aside for actual royalty. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key. Wine tastings, horseback riding, and a gastronomic restaurant round out a stay that makes "country weekend" feel like an understatement.
-
The shutters and window frames are painted in a very specific shade of blue, which makes sense once you know the owner is a French TV personality famous for his matching eyeglasses. This old coaching inn in central Avallon has 31 rooms stuffed with antiques and historical character, a gastronomic restaurant called Le 1815, and a guest list from previous centuries that allegedly included a post-exile Napoleon and a vacationing Elizabeth Taylor.
-
The original room here was a treehouse suite looking out over the Burgundy hills, and the place has grown from that single perch into a scattered collection of suites, studios, and caravan-style retreats across four locations in wine country. Every room comes with a year-round heated Jacuzzi and a minibar stocked with organic provisions. A spa, a bistro, and a boutique fill out the picture, though the real draw is the unusual degree of privacy a hotel this spread out naturally provides.

-
An 80-hectare farming estate near Beaune, with livestock, orchards, and gardens that feed straight into the kitchen of the on-site restaurant. The 13-room hotel holds a Michelin Key. Rooms feel contemporary rather than museum-piece, which is a choice worth making when the building is this old. The wine route runs right past the door, so guests tend to arrive with a plan and leave with a case.
-
Eight rooms perched above Sancerre's famous vineyards, with views that make it clear why this particular slope has been argued over for centuries. It's a small, quietly elegant rural hotel with a spa, bikes on offer, and a restaurant that cooks to the season and leans hard into the local terroir. The wine list, unsurprisingly, skews local, and the team can arrange tastings with nearby producers for guests who want to go deeper into the obsession.
