The major question about this idyllic small hotel is its location. If you are interested in wine, please note that the hotel is closer to Dijon than to Beaune, the hub of the Burgundy wine trade. However, the commune of Chambolle Musigny where the hotel sits boasts some of the greatest vineyards on the planet. That's why, I would think, one comes here. I do not think it is a convenient travel stop between Paris and the south of France. One comes to Chambolle to be in Chambolle!
The facilities of the hotel are excellent, although I was put off by the touristy wine cellar and the push to sell some wine (fairly ordinary compared to producers down the street). I would skip this diversion and just enjoy the hotel. We stayed in the Les Charmes room, while friends of ours were in the Les Amoureuses room. See the attached photos. We enjoyed our room. It was quite spacious, but the bed is not king-sized. The bedroom is bright yellow--a counterpoint to the dreary weather we had. We never needed air conditioning in view of the cool temperature. Thus I am not sure the hotel provides it. Please check on that if it is important to you. From the sitting room area there is access to the outdoor patio, which looked a little sad on the rainy /overcast days. Breakfast was taken in the dining room or delivered to one's room; it was the usual continental assortment. It appeared that one had to take breakfast at the hotel or skip it, as there was little competition near-by. Of course, one can get into one's car and drive off, as one must for dinner. With the help of the hotel staff, we reserved tables for dinner at Chez Guy and at Castel des Tres Girard. Before going, I thought I would prefer the latter, but my hunch was wrong. Chez Guy had better food and better service. The service at Tres Girard was just awful! Both have excellent wine lists.
With the exception of the push to sell wine (note that it is not permitted to carry wine onto a plane, it is risky to put wine in your checked luggage, and it costs over 100 euros to ship a case home, where you need a permit to receive it), I found the staff to be first-rate, both friendly and informative.
In sum, if you wish to stay in the Cote des Nuits near the great vineyards of Gevrey Chambertin, Morey St. Denis, Chambolle Musigny, and Vosne Romanee, this is the best.
