Domaine Les Crayères, Reims, Champagne Region, France
Once the home of Madame Pommery (and across the street from Maison Pommery itself), expect a bubble-infused, unpretentious yet elegantly sophisticated air; 20 perfectly appointed, classically French rooms and suites; a lovely 17-acre park; a wonderfully warm welcome; and an impeccable hands-on approach.
With its relaxed brasserie, and the double-Michelin-starred fine-dining Le Parc Restaurant (closed Mondays and Tuesdays) – both led by MOF chef Philippe Mille – and over 600 Champagne labels, it's a fantastic launch pad for discovering the treasures of Reims.
