In the panoramic upper town of Chateau-Thierry overlooking the Marne Valley, the Best Western Hotel Ile de France, Chateau Thierry, France, offers a calm hilltop setting, with two restaurants serving gastronomic French cooking in a refined decor and a spa open daily.
The hotel handles seminars, receptions, and celebrations with ease, and the spa and the hilltop views make it an easy place to unwind after a day out. The setting looks out over the river and the vineyards that climb the valley sides, with the medieval ramparts and the old castle keep close above the town.
Chateau-Thierry sits in the heart of the Champagne, the hillsides, houses, and cellars of which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site marking the birthplace of the sparkling wine, with the historic vineyards, the great cellars, and the Avenue de Champagne at Epernay and Reims to the east, and the town's own museum to the poet Jean de La Fontaine close at hand.
