Les Demeures de Varennes, BW Signature Collection

Tucked on a leafy estate in Varennes-Jarcy, just 45 minutes from Paris, this country-style hotel feels like a rural hideaway with easy access to the city. Nearby highlights include Jardin du Luxembourg, Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, plus regional must-sees like Château de Fontainebleau and Vaux-le-Vicomte. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, it’s a great base for golfers and sightseers alike.

Built in the style of stone country homes, rooms are spread across multiple buildings for privacy and calm. Décor leans on Impressionist themes inspired by local painter Gustave Caillebotte, in soft, restful tones. Rooms offer garden or courtyard views, some with private terraces or gardens, and in-room comforts like espresso machines, hair-dryers, safes and flat-screen TVs.

Find a heated pool plus a seasonal outdoor pool and water-play facilities, a spa and sauna, a fitness center, ping-pong and picnic areas. Kids get a playroom and bike rentals make exploring the grounds easy. On-site tour assistance, free self-parking and multilingual staff round out the practical perks.

Event facilities include conference space and seven reception rooms with garden access. High-speed internet and meeting rooms make this a practical choice for small meetings and events.

La Table de Varennes serves seasonal, regional dishes in a relaxed bistro-style setting. Breakfast is a buffet focused on local produce, French pastries and regional specialties. In warm months you can dine on the terrace overlooking the grounds.
