Eight character properties within a 25-minute taxi of Maison Lameloise — from sleeping above the dining room to a Cistercian farmhouse in a wooded valley.

25 sources ~6 min read #116 burgundy · chagny · lodging · michelin · relais-chateaux · travel

TL;DR. If you can get a room, sleep above the dining room — Maison Lameloise has 16 of them and the walk to dinner is 30 seconds[1]. Sold out? Walk five minutes to Château de Bellecroix, same village, 0.9 mi away[4]. Want more luxury and a Michelin-star alternative on site? Hostellerie de Levernois, ~14 km north, 5-star Relais & Châteaux[5][7]. Anything Beaune-side adds €40–€60 round-trip in taxi, but a Chagny-based 24/7 cab service (Le Taxi Bourguignon) makes the return after dinner trivial[22].

The properties

Maison Lameloise — Chagny (on-site)

16 rooms · 4★ · Relais & Châteaux · 36 place d'Armes

The default answer. Sixteen rooms in an old post house with vaulted stone, sculpted wooden staircases and Burgundy-stone-and-wrought-iron interiors[1][2]. Bathrooms by Pierre Yves Rochon[1]. Book months ahead for a Saturday — it's the lone on-site bed in the village.

Why pick it → Zero transit, period interiors, the only address where the “walk home” from the 3★ menu is a staircase.

Château de Bellecroix — Chagny (1.5 km)

23 rooms · 3★ · park, outdoor pool

An actual château on the southern edge of Chagny, 0.9 mi from the restaurant — explicitly marketed for the night-before/night-after of dinner at Lameloise[4]. Ranked #2 of 6 Chagny hotels, 3.8/5 on TripAdvisor across 386 reviews, with guests praising the park and pool but flagging dated furnishings and uneven cleanliness[3].

Why pick it → Castle setting and Chagny postcode for noticeably less than Lameloise, ⚠ tier the rooms (suite/“mini-apartment” categories review best).

Hostellerie de Levernois — Levernois (~14 km)

32 rooms + 7 villas · 5★ · Relais & Châteaux · 18th-c. estate

The other Burgundian Relais & Châteaux in the area, an 18th-century estate on seven hectares bordered by the Bouzaise river[5]. Two restaurants — La Table de Levernois (Michelin-starred) and the Bistrot du Bord de l'Eau in a 1750 kitchen[5][6]. Indoor/outdoor pools, hammam, sauna, vegetable garden[6]. 8.6 mi from Lameloise[7].

Why pick it → If you want spa + park + a backup Michelin star on property, and don't mind a 20-min cab.

Château la Commaraine — Pommard (~17 km)

37 rooms · 5★, new 2026 · spa + cuverie

900-year-old estate restored and reopened as a hotel in 2026, on a 7.4-acre biodynamic Clos Monopole in central Pommard[10]. Two restaurants supervised by MOF Christophe Raoux; the fine-dining Le VIII is in a vaulted cellar[10]. Matador put it on their 50-most-exciting-hotels-of-2026 list[11]. Verified by Beaune's tourism office[25].

Why pick it → The newest, most ambitious property in taxi range; pair it with a Pommard tasting before the cab to Chagny.

Château de Chassagne-Montrachet — Chassagne (~8 km)

5 rooms · B&B · 11th-/14th-c. cellars

Five rooms inside a working Bader-Mimeur estate; designer furniture over wooden floors and Burgundy stone, with private cellar tour and tasting included[8]. The Route des Grands Crus passes 100 m from the door[8]. 7.6 km to Chagny, ~9 min by cab[9].

Why pick it → Smallest, most intimate option; wine immersion as the headline experience and the shortest taxi after Bellecroix.

La Maison de Pommard — Pommard (~17 km)

4 rooms + suite · 18th-c. winemaker's house · from €215

Four rooms and a suite in an 18th-century vigneron's house with contemporary inserts, natural outdoor pool, sauna and a fireplace lobby[12]. Booking reviewers describe it as a “secret little boutique hotel” with an exquisite garden[13]. Pricing starts ~€215[13].

Why pick it → Lower-key boutique alternative to Commaraine in the same village, much smaller and more private.

Le Hameau de Barboron — Savigny-lès-Beaune (~19 km)

15 rooms · former Cistercian farmhouse · 9.3/10 Booking

A restored Cistercian farmhouse at the bottom of a wooded valley, oak beams, Burgundy stone, antique furniture — country-house mood, not château[16]. Strongest guest scores in this list at 9.3/10[17]. Savigny is 18.6 km from Chagny[18].

Why pick it → The “forest hideaway” counterpoint to the village châteaux — pick it if you want morning silence, not vineyards-out-the-window.

Hostellerie du Val d'Or — Mercurey (~12 km)

12 rooms · 19th-c. coaching inn · 3★

A 19th-century former coaching inn in the heart of the Mercurey vineyards, 12 individually-decorated rooms, regional restaurant and a long wine list[14]. 11.5 km from Chagny, ~15 min by car[15].

Why pick it → Mid-budget village authenticity south of Chagny rather than the Côte de Beaune scrum to the north.

Ermitage de Corton — Chorey-lès-Beaune (~16 km)

Owner-run boutique · vineyard setting · restaurant + pool

Owner-run by Clémence and Nicolas Chambon, parquet, period ceilings and antique furniture, surrounded by Corton vineyards 2–3 km north of Beaune[19]. ⚠ Sits on a busy departmental road and has no lift[20]. ~16 km from Chagny[21].

Why pick it → If you want owner-on-the-floor warmth over uniformed Relais & Châteaux service, and a working restaurant for a non-Lameloise lunch.

The taxi piece

Chagny to Beaune is 17–19 km / ~22 min via the D974/N74[24], so every property on this list is <25 min cab from the dining room. Two cab firms cover the post-dinner run reliably:

For anything Beaune-side (Levernois, Pommard, Chorey, Savigny) book the return cab when you make the dinner reservation — Saturday post-service demand peaks at the same minute across the Côte. Le Taxi Bourguignon explicitly accepts “sortie de soirée” bookings[22].

Scope: properties ≤ 25 min by car from Maison Lameloise, in “character” categories — châteaux, restored farmhouses/abbeys, period boutique guesthouses, Relais & Châteaux. Chain hotels and Beaune-centre apart-hotels excluded.
