"First impressions really count for any stay and from the moment I arrived I knew I would like this place. I’m a bit precious about my car so safe parking is usually the first thing that needs to be negotiated. The friendliest valet (may not be his job title) greeted me and totally put me at ease. Perfect blend of professionalism and relaxed. Check in was slick with a glass of champagne with cookies taken on the terrace. My room was impressive and had everything I needed. If my wife was staying she may have liked a steamer and perhaps curling tongs. Apologies if they are contained in the room but I didn’t find them. The building is beautiful and the bar/lounge area is a very inviting place where you could easily lose a few hours. The Brasserie (Le Jardin) was a real highlight. I’ve had far worse meals and service at Michelin starred restaurants. It was really reasonable too. Breakfast was enjoyable with plenty of options. Can’t wait to return and will bring my wife and dog next time as the hotel is very pet friendly."

"From the moment we pulled up, the service was impeccable: the bell team met the car with perfect timing, took our luggage, and made everything feel effortless. That level of warmth and precision never wavered for a second. We received a wonderful French welcome (and great Virtuoso perks, including Champagne on arrival). Our suite was beautiful and genuinely comfortable, with panoramic views in a historic, storybook setting. Dinner at the 2 Michelin star restaurant on property was unforgettable. And the location is ideal: a beautiful walk to Ruinart and Pommery, no driving required. It just doesn’t get better."
