Next time you’re in the beautiful and evocative Champagne region of France, drop by the Chateau des Crayères, a graceful chateau surrounded by seven hectares of parkland near the city of Reims. The chateau, which belongs to the Relais & Chateaux group, boasts 20 rooms, with those found on the main facade enjoying magnificent views of the town’s famous cathedral.
It makes a for an excellent base to explore the region and enjoy its world-famous wines and champagnes. Or you won’t even have to leave the hotel – the cellar stocks more than 250 different wines. At the restaurant, led by Didier Elena, the food is inspired by the traditional dishes of the area.
There’s also an inviting, elegant bar overlooking the large garden of the hotel and where Laurent and Bouba go out of their way to pamper the fortunate guests
It’s an unforgettable experience and, as you sip a glass of the finest champagne, you’ll see why Crayères has become a favorite retreat from the frantic pace of the world outside.
Our guest chefs bring you their unique and personal take on food.
Jordi Roca, the younger of the Roca brothers and head dessert chef at the restaurant El Celler de Can Roca.
