I love the new decor of the "floor" which makes me want to stay longer to chat, drink a beer... There are two concert halls inside and I have to admit that I prefer the atmosphere of the small one.

Ugh. Another…read moreincredible stay at a world-class venue that was just a few days too short. Why does this keep happening? Haha. We recently stayed at Domaine Les Crayères in Reims and had an impeccable stay. Not only is the property located in a convenient place, the grounds of the property themselves are nothing short of exquisite. Upon arrival we were greeted by the valet who kindly took our bags straight away to our room, which was not yet ready, as we were a little early, but no matter as we enjoyed a glass of champagne in the Le Parc restaurant as we planned out the next hour or so of our day. After driving around in the countryside and purchasing a few bottles of champagne we made our way back and were so pleasantly surprised with the exception quality and fine details of our room. Truly this is one of the few properties we've stayed at that did everything right from the small touches in the room like a gigantic chocolate Easter egg and Guerlain toiletries to the functional space with multiple TVs (not that we used them much) and fantastic shower. We did not have time to book the on-site restaurant, Le Parc, but from what we have heard and based off our experience at the brasserie, Le Jardin, we would highly recommend booking dinner there - you will enjoy it. Take your time. Soak up the atmosphere, and dress with a purpose! We have stayed at some of the nicer hotels in the world. Silica, Park Hyatt Kyoto, and other chateau's and estates, and Domaine Les Crayères was as good as anywhere we have stayed. As a tip, the entry to the property is a little weird if you don't know what you're looking for. Depending on the direction you are coming from, likely Paris, you'll want to turn left at the small left turn lane which is in front of the property and then immediately turn left onto what feels like a sidewalk or somewhere you're not supposed to drive onto. You're in the right spot! Pull the car up and the valet will take over from there. Enjoy Reims!

If management had honored our request for a refund of the days remaining in our stay, yes, I would…read moreconsider staying at Les Crayeres again, perhaps in a time of year with more predictable weather. However, clearly their concern was money. If they refunded us, they would be hard pressed to fill the room. I have had better service, and more comfortable accommodations at a Holiday Inn Express. A Five Star hotel's HVAC system's individual temp controls in the rooms should go without saying. We are very well traveled. We have never experienced anything like this, EVER.

We needed a break and decided on Reims as lots to see & do; enough within 3 days including via the…read morechampagne houses on day 3 on the way back. This hotel got us out of the main drag (very advisable) but was still within an easy walk of all the main attractions Easy to book on phone; confirmatory email came immediately plus another so you could check in online if you wished The room was a superior double - its about right size-wise. You have a free bottle of water The reception desk was excellent every day - helpful, cheery, friendly The car park isn't bookable but we were able to park underground there - and the lift accesses the car park too which is really useful; it is only 12:50€ pd which is good news. There are others nearby as it turned out if it had been full, but then you need to know how they work All in all definitely recommendable FYI - restos (La Paix, Au Bureau, Waida, Che Diego, Haralds, Tablier, Cru Chanzty & Shamrock at Dizy) & sites (Reddition, Foujita, Cathedral, Tau, Mars Wall) & independent out of town Champagne Houses (Lejeune Pere & Fils, Gaston Chiquet & M Fagot) we visited written up as well on Yelp One general comment, its not worth bothering with the main champagne houses; they all charge to take the tour when all you really want to do is sip, choose, buy (or not)...it would have been nice to go round Pommery to see the art but you have to take the tour; and as for one of the main reasons for going to Reims (to buy Theophile Roederer as opposed to Louis), I rang them...no idea when the tours are, nor how much nor is there is any room on them, send us an email and they will get back to you...forget it!!! So, stick to the smaller places

Staying in Reims? This isn't a bad place to stay. The rooms…read moreare fine - not huge but not as small as some I've stayed in. Bathroom is fine. Free wifi. BBC & CNN on the TV. Decent free breakfast. Everyone speaks english. The only issue is that you are about 5 blocks from the main pedestrian area - I don't mind the walk as it's a fine area. Also some rooms face the back and every now and then a stupid large truck would bang around early in the morning.
