The Best Luxury Hotels in Burgundy

I. The Best Gourmet Hotels in Burgundy
Beautiful rooms, great dining

1. La Côte Saint-Jacques & Spa | Joigny, Yonne

Want to wake up on the banks of one of France’s most beautiful rivers? Head to La Côte Saint-Jacques & Spa, a luxury hotel nestled along the banks of the Yonne River. A member of Relais & Châteaux, this renowned 5-star hotel features not only 22 bright rooms and suites, a spa, and a heated pool overlooking the river, but also a two-Michelin-starred restaurant led by chefs Jean-Michel Lorain and Alexandre Bondoux. For more than a quarter of a century, guests have been flocking to the light-filled main dining room on the ground floor to savor traditional cuisine that never shies away from a touch of brilliance. Specialties include black blood sausage with old-fashioned mousseline mashed potatoes, or veal sweetbreads with ginger, small onions, rhubarb, and pink radishes. All of this is paired with wines from one of Burgundy’s finest cellars, featuring exceptional natural wines carefully selected by Axel Thomas. 

What do we love? La Maison de Famille, located across from the 5-star hotel. While booking a night there allows you to enjoy the spa and restaurant of the luxury hotel, the hotel itself is neither 5-star rated nor a member of Relais & Châteaux, offering a perfectly satisfying alternative for those on a tighter budget.

What sets it apart? The spacious spa at this Burgundy hotel (800 m^²) with panoramic views of the park and the Yonne River flowing below. The 50 m² private tropical area (by reservation), featuring balneotherapy, an infrared sauna, a hammam with a starry sky ceiling, and a relaxation lounge surrounded by a living wall, is the real highlight of this hotel.

2. Hôtel La Borde | Leugny

Set on 7 hectares of land, this charming 14th-century property is a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. The 5-star hotel in Burgundy features 5 suites named after plants—Safran, Aubépine, Jonquille... with exposed beams, terracotta tiles, and half-timbering, giving it a preserved, intimate atmosphere where guests feel sheltered from the outside world. With a swimming pool and a spa featuring a sauna and hammam, it’s the ideal spot for a summer getaway with the family, perfect for exploring the region. Guided tours of the gardens are offered to help guests explore the estate, its woods, pond, rose garden, and 1,600-square-meter vegetable garden. After the walk, guests can purchase homemade and locally sourced products—such as honey—or enjoy a light snack on the premises. For groups of 10 to 20 people, tastings of regional wines are organized.

3. Les Sources de Vougeot | Gilly-lès-Cîteaux

Housed in the former Château de Gilly-lès-Cîteaux, right next to the Clos de Vougeot, Les Sources de Vougeot is located in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. The property, located about 30 minutes from Dijon and Beaune, occupies an estate listed as a historic monument, featuring a moat, stone buildings, and preserved Gothic architectural elements. The hotel’s spirit is in keeping with the Collection des Hôtels du Vignoble: a historical heritage tastefully showcased, with a few modern touches (black-and-white photographs, colorful posters…), unparalleled comfort and service, a celebration of the local terroir, and understated luxury.

What sets it apart? The entire interior design respects the existing architecture (exposed beams, terracotta tiles, fireplaces) while incorporating contemporary elements. Some rooms offer views of the gardens, others of the church or the village, while the suites feature murals or ceiling paintings and are more spacious. The spa at this luxury hotel in Burgundy is housed in a former vaulted wine cellar and offers Caudalie treatments based on vinotherapy. The Caudalie spa includes a fully equipped gym, several treatment rooms, a rejuvenation area, a relaxation pool, a swimming pool, a sauna, and relaxation areas with sun loungers, all complemented by an unlimited selection of herbal teas and chilled waters.

The dining options are centered around two restaurants led by Chef Julien Martin: the gourmet restaurant Le Clos de la Tour, and a more casual spot, L’Auberge des Cîteaux, which focuses on regional and seasonal cuisine. The complex is complemented by a bar and landscaped outdoor areas, including French-style gardens.

4. Hostellerie de Levernois | Levernois, Côte-d'Or

Just a five-minute drive from the historic center of Beaune, this beautiful 5-star estate, built of authentic Burgundian natural stone, remains tucked away from prying eyes. Tucked away in the heart of a seven-hectare park, the three buildings of this Relais & Châteaux-affiliated property feature 39 rooms, suites—some of which are impressively spacious, with stunningly high ceilings and original beams—and villas. Not to mention a Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant, where Chef Philippe Augé transforms vegetables from the adjacent garden and other local delicacies into culinary masterpieces, paired with a carefully curated selection of Burgundian wines. The ideal hotel for a weekend in nature also offers a delightful culinary alternative at its Bistrot du Bord de l’eau, where you can dine overlooking the river or by the fireplace, depending on the season.

What sets it apart? The Sisley spa, nestled among the flowers in its garden. It features: four treatment rooms (including two for couples), an indoor pool that extends outdoors and offers views of the park, a hammam, a sauna, and a cold plunge pool.

5. Château de la Commaraine | Pommard

Located on the Grand Cru Route, just outside Beaune, the centuries-old château in the village of Pommard has been transformed into a brand-new 5-star hotel. This historic gem has been completely renovated without compromising the spirit of the place, which retains its understated elegance. This luxury hotel in Burgundy offers 37 rooms and suites, with windows overlooking the estate’s 3.5 hectares of vineyards, as well as a wellness area featuring a spa and a swimming pool.

Designed to immerse guests in the region’s wine heritage, the hotel offers its guests a variety of wine-related activities: tours of the estate’s cellars, tastings, bike rides through the vineyards, and a tour of the winemaking facility. When it comes to dining, there are two restaurants led by Chef Christophe Raoux, a M.O.F., in the same vein as what can already be found at the Royal Champagne near Épernay, which is owned by the same wine-loving proprietors.

6. Bellevigne | Chambolle-Musigny

In Chambolle-Musigny, in the Côte de Nuits wine region, the Bellevigne is a newly renovated former manor house with 37 rooms, where historic stone architecture blends with understated luxury. True to its motto, “The art of wine to be savored and shared,” this 4-star Burgundy hotel celebrates the region’s terroir and Burgundian lifestyle in every detail, starting with the food. The chef invites you to his table for a five-course gourmet dinner showcasing local ingredients. At the wine bar, guests can share small plates to enjoy with friends and indulge in one of the 300 wines on the wine list. Wine enthusiasts can continue the experience in the Burgundy hotel’s wine cellar with a guided tasting, or—for those who prefer a more sober option—a yoga session in the vineyards.

And after all that activity, it’s time for some pampering: the Spa des Tannins offers a wonderful selection of Sarmance and Absolution treatments. Special mention goes to the grapevine nectar foot bath… to be enjoyed, of course, with a glass of non-alcoholic wine in hand.

Behind this name lies a 5-star hotel with 34 rooms, whose architecture pays homage to the purest Burgundian tradition, and which is home to Bernard Loiseau’s legendary restaurant, La Côte d’Or, awarded two stars in the Michelin Guide.

The guest rooms feature authentic Burgundian terracotta tiles, stone fireplaces, and antique wood paneling. Outside, we particularly love the transparent panoramic elevator, which offers a breathtaking view of the garden. An extension clad entirely in wood, the Villa Loiseau des Sens, is attached to the traditional building and is dedicated to wellness, featuring a massive, award-winning spa (1,500 m^²spread over four levels), a fitness center, and two themed areas—Multisensory and Volupté (sauna, hammam, ice fountain, waterfall bucket, and sea-air cabin).

This hotel, which recently earned its fifth star and is located 12 kilometers from Beaune, was once a village inn renowned throughout the region for its cuisine before it was acquired and renovated by the COMO Collection and its in-house designer, Paola Navone. The result is a harmonious blend of the property’s historic charm and contemporary, elegant design.
