The Vibe: 1920s.

The Area: Located in the historic heart of Reims, facing the spectacular Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The DNA: La Caserne Chanzy Hotel & Spa, Autograph Collection is a design hotel offering just 89 rooms, including 17 suites, half of them boast breath-taking views of the Cathedral. This former fire station is part of the Art Deco architectural heritage that marks the reconstruction of Reims in the 1920s. Artfully combined cork, wood and glass and a colour palette of gold, green and natural tones nod to the hotel’s location in Champagne and bring the outside in, while plush velvet adds a hint of luxury and intimacy. The brasserie La Grande Georgette offers guests a typical and local bistronomic cuisine, made with fresh, quality products. The extensive wellness area is a collaboration with French brand Deep Nature and cosmetics brand Vinésime, which harvests grapes from the most prestigious vineyards to create the core of its products.
