Chateau de Courcelles Hotel  

In Courcelles-sur-Vesles, a Belle Époque château-style hotel just off the town centre. Steps from Patte d'Oie Park, Reddition Museum and Lanson, and within easy driving distance of Fort de Condé, Ailette Golf Club, Soissons Cathedral and nearby Champagne houses. Family-friendly and pet-friendly — bring the crew and the pup.

Period charm meets modern comfort in an intimate setting of roughly 20 guestrooms. Expect classic mouldings, a cosy library, in-room minibars, TVs, bathrobes and private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries. The vibe is polished and slightly rebellious — old-world bones with up-to-date conveniences.

Soak in an outdoor pool, serve up sets on an outdoor tennis court, or unwind in the massage room. There’s a bar and a café on-site, free self-parking, a concierge and a tour desk for local excursions. Pets are welcome for an additional fee, and elevators make upper floors accessible.

A 24-hour business centre, a conference space of about 420 m² and four meeting rooms handle events with ease. Complimentary wireless internet and a 24-hour front desk keep work running smoothly.

An on-site restaurant focuses on French cuisine and regional flavours, complemented by a bar/lounge and a café. Continental breakfast is available daily for a fee, and limited room service lets you dine in.
