Hotel Continental Reims
A Grand Welcome with a Green Twist
One of the things I loved most about Hotel Continental was their eco-conscious initiative. Upon check-in, we were offered a welcome glass of champagne, but here’s the twist—if you choose not to change your room linens daily, you get to enjoy an extra glass of their premium champagne as a reward for helping the environment. I couldn’t resist this win-win offer, and it set the tone for a stay that was both indulgent and environmentally friendly.
The Suite Life at Hotel Continental Reims: Spacious, Elegant, and Luxurious
I had the pleasure of staying in one of the hotel’s suites, and it was everything you’d expect from a four-star luxury hotel in Reims. The suite was incredibly spacious, with elegant furnishings and a soft color palette that created a relaxing atmosphere. Large windows allowed plenty of natural light, and from my room, I could even see a glimpse of Reims’ historic charm.
The king-sized bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room was equipped with all the amenities you’d expect—luxurious linens, a well-stocked mini-bar, and a beautifully designed bathroom with premium toiletries. It felt more like a royal retreat than just a hotel room. We even decided to chill and stay the night in, to enjoy the room some more.
A Culinary Journey: The Tasting Menu Experience
One of the highlights of my stay at Hotel Continental was the 7-8 course tasting menu at the hotel’s renowned restaurant. If you’re a foodie like me, this is an absolute must-do. The dining experience was a true journey through French gastronomy, each course paired with an exquisite selection of local champagnes. From the delicate seafood dishes to the rich, perfectly cooked meats, every bite was an experience in itself.
The sommelier can also provide insights into each pairing, making the meal not only delicious but educational. I particularly loved the balance between modern techniques and traditional flavors, a perfect reflection of Reims‘ heritage and contemporary flair.
Champagne Concierge: Tailored to Your Taste
One of the most unique features of Hotel Continental Reims is their Golden Key Concierge service. Benjamin, the concierge, was nothing short of amazing. After chatting with him about our interests and budget, he put together a personalized champagne house tour that included some of the smaller, family-owned houses in the region.
Benjamin arranged for us to visit Bergeronneau-Marion, where we sampled their exceptional Champagne Brut 2016 and Premier Cru, and Jean de Baillette, where we even had a private underground cellar tour. These experiences felt so exclusive and intimate, making us feel like we were truly part of the Champagne region.
