Majestic forests, rolling hills, exceptional vineyards… The Grand Est is awesome for the diversity of its reliefs and landscapes, as far as the eye can see. Radiant light and breezes orchestrate decor in which generous vegetation lays down its law. And the richness of this natural heritage serves as a backcloth for insider addresses.
In the valley of La Bruche, La Cheneaudière Hotel & Spa 5* in Colroy-la-Roche stands like a sanctuary of peacefulness between earth and peaks. All around, pines, firs and spruce trees meet your gaze, inspiring dreams wherever you look. In addition to 45 rooms and suites for sublimely restful nights, this Relais & Châteaux hosts a spa of 2,500 sq.m, in osmosis with luxuriant nature. Cradled amidst seven hills in Montenach, Le Domaine de la Klauss then enchants guests for its unusual architecture. Its walls of local stone and exposed beams create an enveloping atmosphere, embellished by contemporary decor. This 5-star establishment also offers a Gemology spa, a shrine to well-being with sensory pools, saunas and hammams. The real highlights are its panoramic suite and sweeping views of the vales.
For total communion with nature, the Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa in Champillon is a self-evident choice. Overlooking the hillsides of Champagne, this building in the form of an amphitheatre melts into the scenery. Inside, a world of gentleness and serenity unfolds, promising an unforgettable stay far from the bustle of city life. Reconnecting with what is essential and enjoying simple pleasures also comprise the goal of Domaine Les Crayères. Set on the Saint-Nicaise hill in Reims, this historic residence – a winner of many awards – offers 20 rooms and suites, all decorated in the purest example of the classic French style. Exemplary intimacy is ensured by its wooded, 17.3-acre park at the entrance to the town and beside the vines… Finally, not far from the Coronation City, L’Assiette Champenoise in Tinqueux is a charming, bourgeois residence where relaxation and elegance are paired to perfection. After a stroll around town, guests can rest in a spacious room or suite, laze in the gardens or on the terrace, or take a dip in the pool. A soothing getaway for Epicureans in search of a bubble of greenery at the heart of town.
Staying at one of these prestigious addresses also allows for regeneration through contact with Mother Nature. The Grand Est unfurls a mosaic of stunning sites: six Regional Nature Parks – including that of the Northern Vosges, listed by UNESCO as a world biosphere reserve –, 27 Regional Nature Reserves, 21 National Nature Reserves. Hiking trails through vineyards and forests, such as La Route des Crêtes, then promise a great breath of fresh air. Paragliding, zip lines, mountain biking…, the region also proposes a wide choice of outdoor activities.
