Abbaye de Maizières

About

The Abbaye de Maizières is a boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Beaune, the wine capital of Burgundy. Housed in a magnificent 12th‑century Cistercian abbey that traces its roots back to the 3rd‑century Castrum, the hotel marries medieval architecture with modern comfort. The 13 rooms and suites, ranging from cosy single rooms on the first floor to luxurious suites with mezzanines on the third, offer guests an intimate, historic setting while maintaining contemporary amenities such as free Wi‑Fi, air‑conditioning and a comforting blend of classic and local décor. Guests can indulge in a hearty breakfast—available at an additional €25 per person per day—before exploring Beaune’s cobbled streets and world‑famous vineyards. The hotel also features an indoor swimming pool open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., providing a refreshing break after a day of wine tasting or sightseeing. While the abbey’s steep spiral staircase and lack of elevators mean that the property is not fully accessible to people with reduced mobility, the staff is attentive and courteous, offering assistance wherever possible. A private transfer or taxi is strongly recommended for guests arriving by train, as local taxi services can be scarce in this small provincial town. Overall, the Abbaye de Maizières delivers a charming blend of historic ambiance, cozy comforts, and convenient services for travelers seeking an authentic Burgundy experience.
