Perfect for a long weekend, or indeed longer stint if you’re planning on indulging in trips to the nearby area, here’s your ultimate guide for where to stay in Beaune, including the best Beaune hotels and accommodation suggestions to suit every budget!
Set in the very heart of French wine country, and more specifically Burgundy (i.e. Bourgogne as it is so-called in French), Beaune is a fairytale town characterised by its central Hospices de Beaune turned museum, wealth of wine experiences, and of course, ruinous fortifications.

Introducing Beaune, the unofficial wine capital of Burgundy
Home to a maze of cobbled lanes and quintessential Burgundy architecture, Beaune can be found somewhere on the train line between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Dijon.
Boasting a selection of well-curated museums, particular highlights of the French town you won’t want to miss include the medieval Hospices de Beaune and checking out the offerings of Athenaeum de la Vigne et du Vin, a bookstore dedicated solely to wine!
Of course, the main star of the show (and probably why you’re visiting) is the wine! From wine tastings taking place across Beaune (I managed to go on a cellar tour with just a handful of others for €10, which was quite a steal considering the amount of wine we consumed!) to taking excursions to the nearby vineyards, Beaune is quite literally an oenophile’s dream!
Things to know before booking Beaune accommodation
If you’re like me and want to see as many major attractions as possible, then be sure to stay within the city centre, which allows for you to frequent all of the main restaurants within a ten to fifteen minute walk of your hotel. Staying far away from the city centre will cut into your valuable exploration time and so I highly recommend avoiding this!
Although most people in the tourism industry speak great English, it’s only polite to learn a few words of the local language, in this case, French. So as to help you get by, I highly recommend bringing along a French phrasebook like this one.
You should also know before you visit Beaune that the plugs are different from those in many parts of the world. Bring along a universal travel adapter like this one so you can charge your electrical items abroad!
The best time to visit Beaune is from May through to September as this is when the weather is at its best, though you should also note that this is the high season in Europe and so prices will likely be higher than during other times of the year!
