Hotel 4-star with pool and spa in Beaune

Presentation

On the Route des Grands Crus of Burgundy, a fifteen-minute walk from the Hospices de Beaune, the Les Nomades hotel displays its four stars without overdoing it. Guests often arrive in the late afternoon, after a tour of the wine cellars, and the first thing that strikes them is the calm. The garden absorbs the sound of the road.

Inside, the design by Studio ADN focuses on thrifted objects, an antique lamp here, an odd armchair there, without the whole thing descending into clutter. In the rooms, the bedside sconces, lacquered black with a gold interior and designed by Brossier Saderne, cast a dim light that can be adjusted depending on the time of day. There are 47 of them, divided into four categories. The classic rooms measure 22 m², the superior rooms 25 m² with a little more space. Connecting rooms accommodate families, and a 50 m² suite keeps a separate living room with a sofa bed. A safe large enough for a laptop, a minibar, a Nespresso coffee machine, electric roller shutters: the essentials are there, without any fuss.

On the ground floor, the indoor pool commands much of the attention. The 12-meter by 3.5-meter pool is heated to 28 degrees all year round, with a view of the garden from the loungers. It is freely accessible from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., with bathrobe and towel provided, no reservation or extra charge required. The jacuzzi, set to 35 degrees, is shared by four people. So is the sauna. A masseuse, Anne-Marie, is available by reservation, including for duo treatments in the superior rooms.

Summer changes the game. The outdoor pool, larger at 16 by 8 meters, is only open in July and August. The rest of the year, the terrace surrounding it remains pleasant to look at, but you make do with the heated indoor pool, which is not a bad compromise in the middle of a Burgundian winter.

As for dining, there is no restaurant on site. Service is provided at the bar, with a wine cellar where guests can sample local appellations at the end of the day. For dinner, guests head to the nearby restaurant, just a few minutes’ walk away. In the morning, however, everything happens here: a regional specialty breakfast served in a dedicated lounge or on the terrace as soon as the weather allows, for an extra charge depending on the chosen package.

For getting around, bikes can be rented directly at reception, convenient for reaching the wine villages without relying on a driver. The enclosed, free parking lot has 50 spaces, including one electric charging station. The fitness room remains open at all hours for those who want to keep up their routine despite the tastings from the night before.

One last point of reference: the indoor pool opens at 7 a.m., before breakfast service. The pool is empty at that hour, the morning light comes through the garden-facing picture windows, and you have the place to yourself for a few minutes.
