Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel d'Angleterre

Guests at this stylish spot in central Châlons can enjoy well-appointed rooms (think modern furniture, marble bathrooms, and either wood floors or plush carpets) along with outstanding dining options. The rooms in the back are quietest, while those on the upper level have the most atmosphere. In the stellar restaurant (closed Sunday; no lunch Monday or Saturday), chef Jérôme Feck creates sophisticated dishes with aplomb, drawing inspiration from the finest ingredients such as lobster, scallops, and seasonal game. Cheaper fare is offered in the brasserie, Les Temps Changent.
