Hôtel Le Cep

Le Cep is the luxury hotel of central Beaune: a group of houses with Renaissance façades on rue Maufoux, a few steps from the Hôtel-Dieu, with five stars and 71 rooms, suites and studios. It is for treating yourself to sleeping inside the walls, eating without taking the car and ending the day at the spa.

The house and the rooms

The hotel has inner courtyards; one of them, the cour Thiroux de Saint-Félix, has a half-timbered structure dated 1570, and that is where the bar Le Paradis is, with a cigar lounge. There is another bar, the Louis XIV, and cellars with Burgundy wines going back to the 1919 vintage, where tastings are organised. The categories range from the Village room to the suites named after vineyards, such as the Grand Cru or the Nectar.

The spa and the restaurants

The spa and holistic centre covers more than 1,000 m², with the Marie de Bourgogne spa, an Ayurvedic space and a vitality circuit; they offer vinotherapy and Ayurvedic treatments, and it is the only French member of the Healing Hotels of the World network. Inside the hotel is Loiseau des Vignes, the bistronomic restaurant run by the Bernard Loiseau group, and nearby, LunchBox, an Ayurvedic-inspired vegetarian place of the house.

Getting there

Rue Maufoux is in the old town, about fifteen minutes' walk from the station. If you arrive by car, the hotel's website has its own page about location and parking: check it before you arrive.
