Reims has a compact hotel scene concentrated in three main areas: the city center around the cathedral and Place d’Erlon, the champagne quarter to the east, and the budget-friendly zone near the train stations. The city center puts you within a 10-minute walk of every major sight, while the champagne quarter places you steps from the grand marques’ cellars. Here’s where to stay in Reims, broken down by area with specific hotel recommendations at every budget level. For an overview of the city, see the Reims travel guide.
Where to Stay in Reims: Centre-Ville (City Center)
The area between the cathedral and Place Drouet d’Erlon is the most convenient base. You’re within a 5-minute walk of the cathedral, a 10-minute walk to the train station (Gare de Reims), and surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and shops on Rue de Vesle and Rue Condorcet. The architecture is predominantly 1920s Art Deco with wide boulevards rebuilt after World War I. This area has the highest concentration of hotels, from luxury properties to mid-range chains. Noise levels on Place d’Erlon can be high on weekend nights — request a courtyard-facing room if you’re a light sleeper. On-street parking is limited and metered (roughly 1.50 euros/hour during the day, free from 7 PM to 9 AM). Also see our Reims weather by month guide.

A reliable 3-star budget chain hotel 350 meters from Reims train station and 1km from the cathedral.

Breakfast buffet costs 10.50 euros (or book the room rate that includes it for better value). On-site parking costs 12 euros per night. Best for train travelers and short stays where you prioritize location and price over character. Check rates and availability
Where to Stay in Reims: Champagne Quarter (Quartier des Moissons)
The eastern stretch of Reims centered on Avenue de Champagne and the streets housing Taittinger, Pommery, Veuve Clicquot, and Mumm. This neighborhood is quieter than the city center, with wide tree-lined avenues and champagne mansions. You’re 15-20 minutes on foot from the cathedral but only 2-5 minutes from champagne house entrances. Restaurants are fewer than in Centre-Ville, so you’ll walk or take the tram (Line A, 1.70 euros per trip) for dinner options. This area suits champagne-focused itineraries where you’ll visit 2-3 houses in a day. Hotel options are limited — most visitors stay in Centre-Ville and walk here for tours. Also see our best time to visit Reims guide.
Suggested Hotels in the Champagne Quarter
La Caserne Chanzy Hotel and Spa, Autograph Collection
A 5-star Marriott Autograph Collection property converted from a former fire station, directly facing the cathedral. The 89 rooms blend original 1920s architecture with contemporary design. The spa includes a hammam and treatment rooms, and the rooftop terrace has direct cathedral views. The restaurant La Grande Georgette serves modern French cuisine. Best for design-conscious travelers who want luxury with a direct cathedral view. Check rates and availability
Grand Hotel des Templiers
A 4-star boutique hotel in a 19th-century townhouse, a 3-minute walk from the Taittinger cellars and 8 minutes from the cathedral.

The hotel arranges champagne house tours directly. Best for couples wanting a character stay near the champagne houses. Check rates and availability
Hotel Azur
A 2-star budget hotel on Rue des Ecrevees, halfway between the train station and the champagne houses. Rooms are basic but clean, with private bathrooms and free WiFi. There’s no elevator (three floors), no air conditioning, and no breakfast room — but prices run 55 to 75 euros per night, which is 40-50% less than city center hotels. Best for solo travelers and backpackers prioritizing budget over amenities. Check rates and availability
Where to Stay in Reims: Station Area and Budget Options
The area around Gare de Reims (city center station) and Gare Champagne-Ardenne (TGV station, 5km outside the center) offers the lowest hotel prices. Chain hotels like Ibis Budget, B&B Hotel, and Premiere Classe cluster near the TGV station with rates from 40 to 65 euros per night. The trade-off is location — the Champagne-Ardenne TGV station is a 15-minute tram ride (Line B, 1.70 euros) from the city center. The Gare de Reims area has several mid-range options at lower prices than Place d’Erlon while still being a 10-minute walk to the cathedral. This area works best for travelers with a car (easier parking, direct motorway access via A4/A26) or anyone arriving by TGV who wants to drop bags and head straight into town. Also see our things to do in Reims guide.
