Le Château d'Etoges - Champagne

Fantastic in everyway and the dinner, well unbelievably excellent Set menu with accompanying wine is a must Little off the beaten track if sampling wine in Épernay but well worth it Expensive but a fantastic experience and would recommend

A truly beautiful place. The hotel is 'grown-up' and elegant in its feel, but they still made us and our young children welcome. It was a delight to stay again. The chateau is a very beautiful building, and the setting is really magical. Breakfast was very good and worth the money. Thank you

An amazing place to stay and at a reasonable price. Absolutely beautiful chateau, well kept and incredibly helpful and courteous staff. We stayed in the castle - there was a moat as well as fountains outside our room. The room was not as large as it looked in the pictures but it was big enough, with a massive comfortable bed and walk in shower. This was the last stay on our trip and was worth that little bit extra. We booked direct for the best price. Breakfast included champagne (25 euros pp) and was all really good quality, plentiful and a great variety of options. The grounds offered a pleasant walk and the sunbeds doubled as viewing platforms for the spectacular Perseid meteor shower. It was so good we are considering it as an option for a long weekend trip sometime.

My wife and I stayed here for a night and were disappointed, especially having read all the glowing reviews. We’re not sure if it has to do with the hotel having changed hands in May (2024) but, for us, what let it down was…. 1/ an underwhelming welcome, lacking warmth and an explanation of the facilities (e.g. the spa which, with only staying one night, we missed the opportunity to use due to its limited hours)… although the chap did give us a quick walk around the lounge and breakfast area on the way to showing us our room; 2/ it felt understaffed; we sat outside for an hour or so late afternoon but there are no staff to ask if you want drinks; you have to go back to the chap at reception and order there; 3/ having asked for an iron at reception, I was handed both the iron and ironing board to carry myself to the room (I already had one hand full); at asking, someone did bring up the ironing board on my behalf; 4/ the hotel lacks life; there is a nice lounge area but no bar; again, you have to ask the same chap at reception to place your order for a drink… but it didn’t feel like a place to enjoy. 5/ there is no coffee machine or mini fridge in the Superior double room, just a little kettle and sachets located in the bathroom. On the plus side, the building and grounds are fabulous, the room was nice (but only nice, not great). And the staff we interacted with were perfectly nice. We didn’t get the chance to experience their in-house restaurant as it was closed on the night we stayed, but the restaurant just outside the main entrance (we think affiliated with the hotel) was lovely. On balance, we wouldn’t stay here again. I think there are nicer hotels that offer more warmth and hospitality than this place, albeit without the wonderful setting and grounds.

Just back from another fabulous stay at the Chateau. It keeps getting better without losing its charm by changing too much. The food in l’orangerie was right up there with the best. We cannot wait for the next trip.we heard the chateau has new owners I really hope they do not change things too much.

We first stayed at the Chateau about 20 years ago before the Orangerie had been developed into the restaurant/bedrooms. Think this was our fifth, and hopefully not last visit. As you turn off the road onto the driveway and see the Chateau you just think wow. We have always stayed in the Chateau and this time we were in Latour which is on the back of the Chateau and had windows opening over the moat at the rear and side - some great views over the grounds and to watch the birdlife on the moat. The room was well-appointed and had the benefit of a separate walk-in shower and bathtub. Our meals in the restaurant were fabulous - amazing flavours and we enjoyed the flight of wines on our second night. Service is excellent.
