The Palace distinction is the highest official accolade in French luxury hospitality, awarded by the French government through Atout France. Reserved for a highly selective group of hotels, it recognises properties that extend beyond five-star standards through exceptional location, historical, aesthetic and/or heritage significance, as well as excellence in service and facilities.

Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa now joins this rarefied circle, where it stands out for its seamless blend of contemporary elegance and the timeless charm of the Champagne region. Designed as a contemporary amphitheatre, the property overlooks the UNESCO-listed Champagne landscapes, with all 47 rooms and suites offering uninterrupted views. Guests can discover Champagne’s terroir through curated, in-house experiences, including Les Mystères de Champagne, which provides insight into local craftsmanship and winemaking traditions. The concierge team facilitates access to both established Champagne houses and smaller producers, offering a level of entry shaped by long-standing relationships.

The Palace distinction recognises a style of hospitality that is dynamic, warm and sincere, where the spirit of Champagne is shared with generosity, and where luxury is expressed with clarity. Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa stands as a leading example of French high-end hospitality, grounded in its region and in its time.

“This distinction above all recognises the daily commitment of our teams, as well as the trust of our guests and partners. It is a great source of pride to join this circle of excellence, which has long been a source of inspiration.” – Vincent Parinaud, General Manager, Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa
