Hotel 3-star in Beaune

Presentation

The Maison Cabotte takes its name from the old dry-stone huts that once sheltered vineyard workers between two rows of vines in the Hautes Côtes de Nuits and Beaune. A discreet nod to this sixteen-room hotel, set just a few minutes from the A6 motorway exit, on the Beaune Saint-Nicolas side.

Most guests arrive by car. The enclosed, video-surveilled parking lot costs four euros per night and fills up quickly during the harvest season. An Electromap charging point quietly awaits vehicles powered another way, next to the free Wi-Fi that covers the entire building.

Once through the door, the garden sets the tone straight away. A few wooden tables, a lawn that makes no attempt to impress, and that sense of calm that is rarely found just steps away from a city so busy in summer. In the late afternoon, it is a place to have a drink, with a charcuterie or cheese board set between two flutes of Burgundy. The wine list covers both the villages of the Côte de Nuits and those of the Côte de Beaune, and the staff are happy to point guests toward local winemakers for anyone wishing to take the tasting further.

The rooms, spread across several floors, follow a restrained palette. White, black, with a touch of purple or powder pink depending on the room. Air conditioning, safe, bathroom with shower or bathtub. One small drawback, however: there is no elevator here, and the rooms on the upper floors are earned by climbing a few steps, something to keep in mind for a stay with heavy luggage.

On the ground floor, early in the morning, the breakfast room gradually fills between seven and ten o’clock. Homemade jams, pastries, local products: enough to keep you going until lunch, without rushing.

For the wine route, the location proves practical for anyone with a car: Clos de Vougeot, the Abbaye de Cîteaux, and the Collégiale Notre-Dame can be visited on a short outing, and the Hospices de Beaune are still about a fifteen-minute walk away for those who prefer to leave the vehicle in the parking lot. The other side of the coin: you are not in the heart of the historic center, but rather on its edge, a choice that suits mainly those planning to get around by car or bicycle during their stay.

At the end of the day, the terrace comes into its own again. The pétanque court awaits enthusiasts, and the bar still serves a few drinks after dinner, with a board on hand for those who want to put the world to rights or simply comment on the cellars visited in the afternoon.

One last detail before you leave: check-out is set for eleven o’clock. Enough time to enjoy breakfast to the very end before handing back the keys.

No elevator to carry the luggage up to the floor, a bit of a hassle with two large suitcases, but the cleanliness makes up for everything.
Quiet room, comfortable bedding, spotless bathroom with a walk-in shower, you can’t hear anything from the street.
Warm welcome from the moment we arrived, the man at reception advised us to try a local winemaker to end the evening.
Generous breakfast with homemade jams and local products, served until ten o’clock, more than enough to last until lunch.
Closed parking under video surveillance on site, practical when arriving late at night, allow about fifteen minutes on foot to reach the Hospices.
