46, Rue Thiers, 21200 Beaune
Behind a discreet facade lined with old cobblestones, the Hôtel des Tonneliers welcomes you to one of the most authentic neighborhoods in Beaune. This confidential address, heir to a family history closely tied to the tradition of Burgundy wine auctions, is housed in a 17th-century residence carefully transformed into an elegant boutique hotel. Beyond the threshold, the bustling streets give way to a serene atmosphere, enhanced by the presence of a vast inner courtyard bathed in light under a glass roof inspired by Gustave Eiffel's structures.
The preserved architecture of the building tells, in its own way, the story of a city rich in heritage. Old parquet floors, floral tapestries, wrought iron staircases: each element contributes to creating a lively place where the charm of yesteryear is combined with comfort designed for today's traveler. In this warm and cozy atmosphere, the welcome is discreet and attentive, reflecting the spirit of the house, managed by the Epailly family, deeply rooted in local memory.
The hotel offers a dozen rooms divided into three distinct categories, ranging from standard rooms to family rooms. Spacious, they are distinguished by well-balanced volumes and a decoration that plays with textures, materials, and sometimes even remnants of the past, such as an old fireplace still present in some rooms. The bedding has been carefully chosen, the amenities meet contemporary expectations, and the soundproofing allows guests to fully enjoy the tranquility of the place, even in the city center.
Adjustable air conditioning, Wi-Fi accessible throughout the establishment, television, and private bathrooms equipped with either a shower or a bathtub are standard in all rooms. Some rooms feature a minibar, others a sitting area, but all share the same goal of providing a serene and welcoming setting, without excess or ostentation. The furniture combines simplicity and elegance, and each room is named after a famous Burgundy Grand Cru, a nod to the property's wine-making roots.
In the morning, breakfast is served in the light-filled glass-roofed area overlooking the inner courtyard. The buffet offers a fine selection of fresh products: pastries, assorted breads, hard-boiled eggs, cold cuts, cheeses, fruit juices, homemade cakes, and local treats. Guests can also opt for an à la carte menu or request room service to start the day in a more intimate setting.
In the former auction room of Élisée Epailly, the first auctioneer of the famous Hospices de Beaune sale, a wine bar has now taken its place. This elegantly proportioned room opens onto the courtyard, providing an ideal setting for tasting Burgundy wines. Artisan charcuterie boards, terrines, or regional products can accompany the selected glass of wine, inviting guests to discover or unwind at the end of the day.
The staff, attentive yet unobtrusive, ensures constant availability with a 24/7 reception. Additional services enhance the experience: laundry, luggage storage, concierge service, or even bicycle rentals. The hotel is entirely non-smoking and offers free Wi-Fi access throughout the building.
For travelers arriving by car, public parking is available nearby. A valet parking option can also be arranged, providing added convenience. The property is furthermore located about a ten-minute walk from Beaune train station, making it easily accessible without a personal vehicle.
From the hotel, it is easy to reach the city's main attractions on foot. The Hospices de Beaune, a historic emblem of the region, are just minutes away. The walk takes you through commercial streets lined with independent boutiques, antique shops, and wine cellars inviting you to taste. The Hôtel des Tonneliers thus provides a perfect base for exploring Beaune without constraints.
Beaune, a city of art and history, reveals numerous treasures to those who take the time to linger. The Burgundy Wine Museum, housed in the former Hôtel des Ducs de Bourgogne, offers insights into the region's winemaking traditions. The Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame, with its remarkable tapestries and stained glass windows, also warrants a careful visit.
To extend the cultural experience, the program of the Beaune Theater, or the temporary exhibitions at the Maison des Climats, provide a window into the city's artistic life. Certain events punctuate the year, such as the detective film festival or, of course, the Hospices wine auction, an unmissable event for wine enthusiasts.
If you feel like venturing a bit further from the center, the surroundings of Beaune are full of discoveries to be made by bike or on foot. The Route des Grands Crus traverses some of the most renowned wine villages: Pommard, Meursault, Volnay, or Savigny-lès-Beaune. A few kilometers away, castles, estates, and gardens beckon for peaceful escapades.
The Hôtel des Tonneliers thus offers a subtle balance between tradition and modernity, between heritage and comfort, between local immersion and ease of stay. Without grand gestures or ostentatious decor, this address appeals to those seeking to experience Beaune authentically, in a human-scale setting, with a certain sense of understated refinement.
