Abbaye de Maizières

This character-laden, four-star establishment inside a 12th-century abbey oozes history, yet all 12 rooms have been luxuriously modernised. Some rooms boast Cistercian stained-glass windows and exposed beams; those on the top floor offer views over Beaune's famed multicoloured tile roofs. There's no lift, but the friendly staff will help haul your luggage upstairs.
