Hôtel Le Chambellan

Dijon


Fresh from a 2018 renovation, this budget favourite in the heart of medieval Dijon has a whole new look, mixing modern flair (remodelled bathrooms, bold colours, phone-charging ports, spiffy new reading lamps) with the three Ps – poutres, pierre, parquet (exposed beams, stone and wood floors) – that epitomise owner Christophe Comte's long-standing fondness for the rustic.

Rooms run the gamut from shared-bath hideaways under the eaves to labyrinthine family units like room 25, or the kitchen-equipped apartments just across the street. Book direct for best prices.
