20 Best Burgundy Hotels for Foodies

Peppered with châteaux, abbeys, and pretty market towns, Burgundy has plenty to offer. Beyond the scenery, many visitors come to the region for the wine (the Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays are world-renowned) and to sample the equally popular regional cuisine. The area has its fair share of Michelin-starred restaurants and establishments run by a dynasty of gastronomic chefs that are worth journeying here for alone. There are also a good range of accommodation options from grand converted châteaux to quaint restaurants with rooms. Our hotel experts have hand-selected the best Burgundy hotels for foodies selected primarily on their restaurant but also on the service, location, amenities, and price. So whether you are planning a family getaway or a romantic escape, why not browse through our collection to start planning your gastronomic trip?

For a château

• Château d'Igé is a fairytale fortified château with beautiful gardens and views. Expect traditional details such as turrets with spiral staircases and stone-flagged floors. Enjoy memorable regional dishes served in one of the three dining rooms.
• Château de Courban et Spa is another beautiful château with well-decorated bedrooms and suites, some of which have private terraces overlooking the expansive gardens. The excellent spa and gourmet restaurant run by an award-winning chef really make this place stand out.
• Château de Saulon is a striking château set in tranquil parkland between Dijon and Beaune. Rooms are individually styled with a choice selection of antiques. The fine-dining restaurant showcases exemplary regional cuisine and is worthy of a visit alone.
• Château de Vault de Lugny is an impressive 13th-century moated château surrounded by fantastic facilities and beautiful grounds. Lofty bedrooms ooze old-world style; think antique drapes, bold wallpapers, four-poster beds and knockout views. Mouthwatering dinners are served, house party style, in a large kitchen, at separate tables, or on the lawn.

For Michelin-starred dining

• Hotel de La Poste is a chic hotel set in the heart of the Burgundy wine region. Contemporary rooms feature soft colours and antique accessories. With an outdoor pool, hot tub, and pretty gardens there is a lot to like here. The superb French cuisine in the Michelin-starred restaurant is, however, the real crowning glory.
• Aux Terrasses is a charming restaurant with rooms nestled in the village of Tournus. Rooms are comfortable and inviting with wooden floors and exposed stone walls giving the place a traditional feel. The hotel restaurant holds a Michelin-star and serves superb French cuisine, the perfect place for gastronomes.
• Abbaye de la Bussiere is a luxury hotel set in a beautiful 12th-century abbey. Elegant rooms are romantic and traditional with heavy drapes, antiques, and views over the park. Enjoy a private wine tasting or vineyard trip before dining in the Michelin starred Restaurant 1131. Well suited to couples.
• Hostellerie Le Cedre is a grand five-star hotel set in the centre of Beaune. Airy rooms and suites are decorated in a fresh contemporary take on traditional design. With a Michelin starred restaurant and an expansive wine cellar that offers tastings of regional produce, this is a foodie's haven.
• Hostellerie de Levernois is a charming country house hotel. Rooms are either modern with wooden floors or traditional with exposed beams. With a Michelin-starred restaurant, an excellent wine cellar, splendid gardens, and a tennis court — this is a has-it-all stay.
• La Cote Saint Jacques is an enchanting family-run hotel on the banks of the River Yonne. The two-starred Michelin restaurant and award-winning spa with an indoor pool and a hot tub make this a standout stay. A spoiling choice.

For a restaurant with rooms

• Lameloise is an iconic restaurant with attractive rooms. This family-run affair has a rich gastronomic heritage. The dining room at the heart of the house serves fantastic and unpretentious cuisine. A hotspot for foodies and local explorers.
• Bernard Loiseau-La Côte d'Or is a traditional restaurant with rooms with a lovely outdoor patio and gardens. The food is legendary!

For romance

• Château de Bagnols is set near Beaujolais and is an elegant château converted into a luxury hotel with extremely special views over vines and a lake. Michelin-starred restaurant 1217 serves up inventive and exciting dishes with a local influence. A romantic choice.
• The Château de Pizay is another elegant château surrounded by acres of vineyards in the heart of Beaujolais. There are 60 beautiful rooms, a spa, and pool, green as far as the eye can see and an excellent gourmet restaurant.
• The Frederic Carrion Cuisine Hotel has the perfect name for this list, and it does the name justice in a rustic, regional style, with ten boldly coloured rooms where design sits comfortably against the building's original features. The location is excellent too.
• Hotel Le Cep is an opulent four-star hotel in Beaune. Romantic rooms and suites have Louis XIV furnishings. This is a great base for couples to explore the local area and then return to the gourmet fine dining restaurant and atmospheric bar.

For great value

• Auberge de Clochemerle in Vaux-en-Beaujolais is a traditional and characterful village inn with an excellent gourmet restaurant. All the rooms have peaceful views of either the vineyards or the gardens.
• La Beursaudière, a rustic spot with an atmospheric all-day restaurant, is another great value option. You may think that waitresses in traditional dress and bedrooms themed on local crafts – from the simple Lavandière (washerwoman) to the grander Vigneron (wine grower) – is not for you, but we found La Beursaudière delightful rather than contrived: a thoughtful, charming, family-run concern in lovely Burgundian buildings.

For Families

• Chez Camille is set in the centre of Arnay and is a fine example of a French provincial hotel. Rooms are simple, traditional and characterful with the family suites offering plenty of space for those with kids. However, it’s the dining room, fashioned in a conservatory-style from a covered courtyard, that is the heart of the hotel where the chef-owners serve up classic French dishes.
