Hotels in Reims: Where to Stay in the Champagne Capital
Updated 29 July 2026 · 53 real hotels
The city centre, particularly around Place Drouet d'Erlon and the cathedral district, is the best base for most visitors to Reims. It keeps you within walking distance of the Gothic cathedral, the champagne houses and the main restaurants. Travellers on a budget or arriving by car may also consider the peripheral areas of Bezannes or Croix Blandin for easy access without city-centre parking headaches.

Reims sits at the heart of the Champagne region, about 45 minutes from Paris by TGV, and it punches well above its size in terms of cultural and gastronomic interest. The city is home to one of France's finest Gothic cathedrals, a UNESCO-listed network of chalk cellars beneath the major champagne houses, and a compact but genuinely lively restaurant and bar scene centred on Place Drouet d'Erlon.
Staying in Reims tends to be a relaxed experience. The historic centre is walkable, the locals are accustomed to visitors (many come specifically for champagne tourism), and the city blends monumental architecture with everyday French urban life. Whether you come for a weekend of tasting and sightseeing or as a stopover between Paris and Alsace, choosing the right neighbourhood makes a real difference to how much you get out of your stay.
Which area to stay in Reims?
- Cathedral District (Centre historique): The area immediately around Notre-Dame de Reims is ideal for first-time visitors and those who want to be immersed in the city's heritage. The Palais du Tau, the Musée des Beaux-Arts and several champagne house entrances are all within easy walking distance. Streets are busy during the day but quieter at night.
- Place Drouet d'Erlon (Centre Erlon): The main pedestrian boulevard of Reims, lined with cafes, brasseries and shops. Staying here puts you in the social centre of the city. Good for couples and travellers who want evening atmosphere without needing a taxi home.
- Gare de Reims area: The zone around the central train station is practical for TGV arrivals and departures. It is less picturesque than the cathedral quarter but well served by transport and a short walk from the main sights. A solid choice for short stays or business visits.
- Croix Blandin: A residential district on the southern edge of the city, quieter and more affordable. Better suited to drivers, with easier parking, and close to some of the large champagne producer sites along the Route du Champagne.
- Bezannes: A suburban commune just south-west of Reims, adjacent to the Reims-Champagne TGV station. If you are arriving by high-speed train from Paris or Lyon rather than into the central station, this is a convenient and calm base with good road access to the city centre.
- Taissy: A small village to the south-east of the city, very quiet and genuinely rural in feel. It suits travellers with a car who prefer to stay outside the urban core, perhaps combining Reims with visits to the Montagne de Reims nature park and surrounding champagne villages.
Good to know
- Book early for summer and harvest season: July through October is the busiest period in Reims. The champagne harvest (vendanges) in September draws visitors from across Europe, and central hotels fill up quickly. Booking two to three months ahead for this window is sensible.
- Use the TGV for a Paris day trip or arrival: Reims Centre station is served by direct TGV trains from Paris Est in around 45 minutes. The Bezannes TGV station (Champagne-Ardenne TGV) is further from the city centre and requires a shuttle or taxi to reach it, so check which station your train uses before booking accommodation.
- Walking is the best way to see the centre: The cathedral, the main champagne house cellars open to visitors (Mumm, Taittinger, Veuve Clicquot and others) and the Drouet d'Erlon strip are all reachable on foot from central hotels. A car is only genuinely useful if you plan to explore the surrounding wine villages.
- Parking in the centre can be frustrating: If you are driving, look for hotels that include parking or check nearby underground car parks in advance. Peripheral options like Croix Blandin or Bezannes remove this friction entirely.
- Champagne house visits require reservations: Most of the major maisons require advance booking for cellar tours, even outside peak season. Sorting this before you arrive means you can plan your accommodation location around your tasting appointments rather than the other way around.
What to know about hotels in Reims?
What is the best area to stay in Reims for sightseeing?+
The Centre Erlon and Cathedral District are the top choices for sightseeing. Staying here puts you within a short walk of Notre-Dame de Reims, the main champagne house cellar tours and the city's best restaurants and bars. Hotels like the Radisson Hotel Reims and the Holiday Inn Express Rives De Vesle are both centrally located and well rated.
What is the best time of year to visit Reims?+
Late spring (May and June) and early autumn (September and October) offer the most pleasant conditions. September is particularly atmospheric during the champagne harvest, though hotels fill up fast and prices rise. Winter is quiet and cold but works well for budget travellers who want to visit the cellars and cathedral without the crowds.
How do I get from Reims city centre to the airport?+
Reims does not have a commercial passenger airport for most leisure routes. Most international visitors fly into Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and then take the TGV or a direct coach to Reims. The train from CDG to Reims requires a change in Paris or a connection via the TGV network, and the total journey typically takes between 1.5 and 2.5 hours depending on the route.
What is the average cost of a hotel in Reims?+
Based on available options, Reims hotels range from around 63 euros per night for budget properties on the city outskirts to 182 euros per night for four-star central hotels. Mid-range three-star hotels in or near the centre generally fall between 73 and 85 euros per night, making Reims noticeably more affordable than Paris for comparable quality.
Is it better to stay near the Reims Centre station or the Champagne-Ardenne TGV station?+
For most visitors, staying near Reims Centre station is preferable. It places you within walking distance of the historic sights and the city's nightlife. The Champagne-Ardenne TGV station in Bezannes is on the outskirts and requires a bus or taxi to reach the city centre, though it can be convenient if your itinerary involves quick arrivals and departures without much time spent in the city itself.
