Design & Boutique Hotels in Auxerre
Updated 30 June 2026 · 23 real hotels
Auxerre and its surrounding Burgundy countryside offer a range of thoughtfully appointed addresses, from historic manor houses and converted mills to a globally recognised design property. Whether you stay in the city centre or a short drive into the Yonne valley, each property brings its own distinct character and attention to detail.
Auxerre, perched above the Yonne River in northern Burgundy, is a city where medieval Gothic architecture and rolling vineyard landscapes set a naturally elegant backdrop. Its accommodation scene reflects that character: rather than towering chain hotels, the area rewards travellers who look slightly beyond the city limits, where converted chapels, restored mills, and centuries-old manor houses have been carefully brought into the present day.
The villages immediately surrounding Auxerre, particularly Venoy a few kilometres to the southeast, concentrate several properties that stand out for their setting and architectural integrity. For those who prioritise a refined stay over a central postcode, the broader Auxerre area consistently delivers options that combine historic fabric with considered interiors, peaceful grounds, and the unhurried pace of rural Burgundy.
