Domaine les Crayères

I could imagine this property would live up to its expectations but it did. Exquisite decor and impeccable service. The best champagne and cuisine in a beautiful setting. Relaxing too!

Beautiful château with free parking. Glass of champagne and petits fours upon arrival. We were in a cottage, just near the château, with a small and private garden, with 2 sun loungers. Wonderfully comfortable bedding and pillows (lots) , slippers, bathrobes, safe, Guerlain toiletteries, walk in wardrobe, one bathroom with bath tub and wash basins and another one with a walk-in shower bidet and toilet. Absolutely everything one could need to feel home from home, well, I certainly did, because the personnel was so friendly as well. High standards all around. Splendid garden and grounds to walk around. Spa to be ready for 2027 I was told. About 30 minute walk to the center. Perhaps a kettle and an espresso machine in the room would have been just perfect. And I did find that the portion of mushrooms and bacon was rather small at breakfast. But there was a lot of everything else one could want for breakfast. We were only there for one night on the way to elsewhere but should we go back to Reims, even though the price per night is expensive, we would definitely stay there again because I found the Royal Champagne hotel, not too far away and similar prices, too modern looking for me but we did have a lovely dinner there with friends, who were staying there, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

I have stayed at many 5-star properties over the last 15 years and can only think of one that was at the same level as Les Crayeres. All the staff were very well trained and extremely helpful. Lucas at the Jardin is absolutely one of the best managers in a French Restaurant I have encountered. If you want to spend a couple of nights in a true 5-star property, then Domaine Les Crayeres in the one.

A wonderful hotel with incredible staff apart from the bar. The room was amazing but needs a bathroom upgrade (which I did mention at checkout) . Apart from that small thing it was flawless. The bar staff need to work a bit faster and be more adaptable.
