Hotel 3-star in Beaune

Presentation

The Hostellerie de Bretonnière is a five-minute walk from the Hospices de Beaune, behind a discreet façade that gives almost nothing away about what lies beyond. Push open a gate, and the town almost immediately fades away. An inner courtyard, gardens, an 18th-century former coaching inn that has kept its stonework and some of its beams. The silence is surprising, just steps from the cobbled lanes of the historic center.

Thirty-one rooms are arranged around this courtyard, each with its own character. Some take a contemporary approach, others retain exposed beams and stone walls, direct reminders of the building’s past as a coaching inn. Eight duplexes, on the garden level, open onto a private terrace, a pleasant option from the first fine days for having coffee outside without crossing paths with anyone.

In the morning, breakfast is served wherever you like: in your room, in the veranda, or in the garden when the weather allows. The buffet is generous, designed for a proper outing in the vineyards rather than for heading straight to the museum. Homemade jams, pastries, enough to put together a made-to-order tray.

Back down on the ground floor, the bar occupies a corner of the two lounges that extend the veranda. The place remains simple, meant more for a drink before going out to dinner in town than for an elaborate cocktail list: a few beers, a local rosé, enough to wait comfortably without overthinking it.

Two rooms are designed for guests with reduced mobility, and several others welcome families without feeling like a standard room simply made larger. The closed parking area is free for guests, which matters in a town where parking near the center can sometimes feel like a treasure hunt.

As for quiet, it depends on the room chosen. Those facing the inner courtyard enjoy almost complete peace, while some street-facing rooms pick up a bit more of the neighborhood noise in the evening. Worth mentioning when booking for anyone who sleeps lightly.

Upstairs, a seminar room bathed in natural light can accommodate around thirty people, with high-speed Wi-Fi included, a use that sits well with the calm of the rest of the house during the day.

The owner, Marc-Antoine Schivardi, keeps an eye on hospitality, and it shows in the details: advice on cellars to visit, a dinner reservation to make, a walking route to the Hospices or the Collégiale Notre-Dame. You often leave with one more address in your notebook than when you arrived.

One final tip: it’s better to ask for breakfast in your room on a rainy morning. The tray arrives warm, the rain falls on the garden tiles, and Beaune can wait a little longer.

A five-minute walk from the Hospices, but you can hardly hear anything from the garden-facing room. Good for sleeping after a day of sightseeing.
Duplex room with exposed beams and a private terrace. Comfortable bed, good-quality bedding, quiet all night.
Reception takes the time to recommend a restaurant and the route for visiting the cellars on foot. Staff available from morning to evening.
Breakfast buffet served in the veranda, enough choice to put together a complete tray before heading out into the vineyards.
Closed and free on-site parking, convenient so you don’t have to drive around town looking for a space.
Shower with only a fixed showerhead, no flexible hose for rinsing your hair. Otherwise, clean and functional bathroom.
