In Champagne, where family heritage and craftsmanship shape every bottle, where you stay can deepen your entire experience.
Beyond traditional hotels, several Champagne houses open their own residences to guests. Staying at a producer-owned property offers something rare: direct access to the spirit, history, and philosophy behind the wines.
Here are seven exceptional places to stay in Reims and Epernay — each owned by a Champagne producer.
Reims – A Heritage Setting
Charles Heidsieck – La Résidence Eisenhower
Owner: EPI Group (Charles Heidsieck, Piper-Heidsieck, Rare Champagne)
This 19th-century mansion famously hosted General Dwight D. Eisenhower during World War II. After a meticulous renovation completed in 2021, it reopened as a refined private residence just steps from Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral.
Each room blends historic architecture with contemporary comfort. The atmosphere is intimate, elegant, and deeply connected to the legacy of the house.
Local Insight
The cellars of Charles Heidsieck and its sister houses are rarely open to the public. Guests staying here may enjoy privileged access that is otherwise difficult to arrange.
