Hotel 3-star in Beaune

Presentation

Sure Hotel by Best Western Centre Beaune is located on the street that has the most restaurants in town, a stone’s throw from the ramparts and the Hôtel-Dieu. Many guests arrive by car, loaded with suitcases. Ten minutes later, they are already walking on the cobblestones of the historic center.

The neighborhood sets the tone before you even go in. Beaune quickly closes in around its narrow streets, its cellars dug beneath the houses, its 15th-century façades. The train station is a ten-minute walk away. For those arriving by TGV, Dijon is connected by TER in about twenty minutes, and the A6, A38, and A31 highways keep the city connected to Paris, Besançon, and Dijon.

On the ground floor, reception never closes. The language changes depending on who comes to the desk—French, English, German, Spanish—and they take the time to book a table or a taxi for the evening. A secured parking lot awaits at the back, eight euros per night, with a free alternative less than twenty meters away. Dogs and cats are welcome too, for an additional ten euros per night.

Up the floors, the 48 rooms are divided between 160-centimeter double beds, twin beds, and king-size beds. Air conditioning runs in summer. The wifi never cuts out. Each room is designed for two people, a format that works well for a getaway for two in the vineyard region, less so for a stay with a large family.

In the morning, breakfast is served from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Recent travelers mention eggs cooked to order and freshly squeezed orange juice. The pastries come out warm, the bread stays crisp, and the cheeses and cold cuts come from the region. This meal is not included in the room rate; you need to add 11.50 euros per person (6 euros for children aged 4 to 6), but there is still a wide enough selection to start a day of tasting.

The rest takes place outside. The Hospices de Beaune can be visited on foot, as can the Palais des Congrès and the Porte Marie de Bourgogne. The vineyards begin almost at the edge of town, accessible by bike or on foot, and the cellars along them offer tastings all year round.

One last thing before heading off to the vines: it is better to book your tasting slot late in the morning. After 2 p.m., the cellars in the center fill up quickly in high season.

Summary of a few positive reviews read on the Web

Really right in the city center, you park in the hotel’s parking lot and when you leave you are already in the heart of Beaune, next to the restaurants.
Simple but well-kept breakfast, with eggs cooked to order and freshly squeezed orange juice, and the pastries are still warm.
Ten minutes on foot from the station and just as close to the old town, convenient for visiting Beaune without a car.
Attentive and considerate staff at reception, for a rate clearly more affordable than other hotels in the center.
Spotlessly clean room, well-located hotel, good value for money for the area.
The private parking lot is a real plus, with the possibility of leaving the car there after checking out to finish the visit at leisure.
