Relax among the Champagne vines near Épernay

Surrounded by forest and vines, LOISIUM Hotel Champagne sits on a pretty hillside near Épernay, where its relaxed elegance beckons you to unwind and immerse yourself in the French art de vivre.

Nestled amidst the undulating vineyards and peaceful forests of Mutigny, the LOISIUM Wine & Spa Hotel Champagne is an idyllic retreat for anyone looking to unwind and immerse themselves in the natural beauty and gastronomic delights of Champagne.

Just a short drive from Épernay, this contemporary haven, designed by Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku, brings the outdoors in, with floor-to-ceiling windows creating the impression of being able to touch the trees and vineyards, while the use of natural materials such as oak, wool, and linen creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. Each of the 101 rooms and suites offers panoramic views of the vineyards or forest, allowing guests to feel truly connected to the landscape.

Food and drink take centre stage, as you would expect in Champagne. The hotel’s main restaurant, La Table des Amis, is devoted to showcasing the region’s culinary richness. Its menus focus on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, handled with finesse and a light contemporary touch. Diners can expect elegant plates that elevate traditional Champenois fare without losing its roots.

Meanwhile, those seeking a more relaxed setting will find Les Bulles bar a cosy spot for apéritifs or late-night bubbles, with a selection of champagnes, cocktails and light bites, best enjoyed while watching the sun set over the vines.

If you’re not relaxed enough already, the 1,000 m² Spa Club provides a sanctuary, with treatments including the signature
Champenois Massage. Its heated outdoor pool, saunas, a steam bath and solarium are all designed to blend in with the natural surroundings and offer uninterrupted views of the vineyards

Of course, no stay in Champagne would be complete without exploring the vineyards. LOISIUM offers a range of immersive experiences: guided tastings, meetings with local producers and private tours of nearby Champagne houses (the cities of Épernay. Reims and Aÿ are nearby) will all help you to understand the savoir-faire behind each bottle. Those with energy to spare can cycle through UNESCO-listed landscapes along the Route Touristique du Champagne, perhaps pausing for a glass and a picnic under the trees.

It will come as no surprise that sustainability is at the core of the LOISIUM experience, from its architectural integration with the natural environment to its focus on locally sourced ingredients and partnerships with regional producers. This means guests can enjoy their stay with the knowledge that their comfort does not come at the expense of the environment.

So whether your dream holiday is lounging by the pool with a glass of local bubbly, indulging in a spa treatment, or exploring the surrounding vineyards, you are sure to find relaxation and inspiration in equal measure at LOISIUM.
