Why It Matters
Selected by both the MICHELIN Guide and Tablet Hotels. The building itself dates to the 14th century and once housed the childhood of Guigone de Salins, who co-founded the famous Hospices de Beaune in 1443. Later used by Maison Jadot to stable horses and store wine. Now converted into a tiny, deeply personal B&B where each of only five rooms has its own fully realized design identity — from Carrara marble bathrooms to Murano glass chandeliers to Designers Guild wallpapers.
A 14th-century stone house on a quiet Beaune side street that you could walk past without noticing. Duck through the heavy oak doorway and you find yourself in a flagstone courtyard with a fountain, potted plants, and a bicycle shelter. Inside, five individually themed suites — each decorated with antiques, global collectibles, and serious attention to detail — make this one of the most characterful places to sleep in all of Burgundy. Breakfast (included) is served in a beautiful salon with a zinc-topped bar crafted by coppersmith Paul Michon and an Austrian gilded bronze chandelier overhead.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Art Deco
From EUR306 / nightThe Art Deco mood starts in the hallway and hits you fully with the wrought-iron door before you even step inside. The lower level has a bathroom fitted with Carrara marble toilet and shower. Upstairs between two chimney breasts sits a wrought-iron vanity unit that doubles as a desk. Period Daum glass lampshades cast a soft glow. A chest at the foot of the bed lets you undress in style before sleep.
58 sqm
L'Appartement N°5
From EUR333 / nightA new addition to the property (listed from April 2025). Priced at the same level as The Suite Duplex. Full details not yet published on the official website.
Return from India
From EUR279 / nightEnter through a Line Vautrin-inspired mirrored hallway into a room built around a bed fit for a Maharaja. A small salon separates the sleeping area from the bathroom, which has a full bath and two pedestal wash-basins. Designers Guild wallpaper, keepsakes and photographs from India brought back by the original owners Raymond and Martine decorate the walls. Windows open onto the interior courtyard where a fountain murmurs below.
42 sqmThe Burgundian
From EUR315 / nightGround floor room with stone floors, antique local Burgundian furniture, and walls finished in Farrow & Ball matte paint. The large bathroom has a pedestal bath, spacious shower, and a large anti-fogging mirror. Silent switches throughout add to the calm atmosphere.
52 sqmThe Suite
From EUR333 / nightThe showstopper. A large wrought-iron staircase leads to this vast duplex on the first floor. The lower level has rare yellow tomette tile floors, a private salon with open fireplace, and a full bathroom (bath, shower, wash-basin, and toilet). A chest front dating to 1603 from the Hospices de Beaune has been turned into artwork, lit by a Murano glass chandelier. Upstairs: a king-size bed, interior blinds, a Louis XIV wardrobe, and a wash-basin so you don't have to go downstairs at night.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Bikes available for rent. The surrounding countryside offers well-marked cycling routes through the vineyards of the Côte de Beaune.
Dijon (30 min by train), Autun, and the Monday market at Louhans are all recommended by the owners as easy day excursions. The property works well as a base for exploring Burgundy more broadly.
The famous 15th-century Hôtel-Dieu, co-founded by Guigone de Salins — who spent part of her childhood in this very building — is about 1km away on foot.
Beaune sits at the heart of Burgundy's Côte d'Or, surrounded by world-famous appellations. Dozens of négociants and domaines offer tastings in the city's labyrinth of medieval cellars, within easy walking distance of the property. Patriarche Père et Fils is the closest landmark.
