Excellent value to enjoy the trip to Reims,for the champagne region experience.Although you might need a car to stay here.Its some 25 minutes by walking to town center.The hotel ,63 rooms has a two stars Michellin restaurant by A.Lallement,or the other way round,The restaurant has a hotel attatch to it.Since the feeling is that more attention is given towards restaurant than hotel guests.
And indeed its true to reason. My wife and I booked a room from our arrival to Paris,and we wanting to stayed in a nice place and enjoyed good food.The place we opted for Chateau Crayere was full since it had less rooms ,but L'Assiete has many available and also has a two star michellin restaurant.So we opted to spend a night before moving on to Epernay,the chamgagne route center.Our room in the four storey attachment was nice,although not as new and modern an the ones next to the lobby restaurant.We dined at restaurant that night,it was full ,10 tables at garden level and eight more on the second floor,although the latter was not half as nice of elegent atmoshpere.Menu was good but not at level I expected ,but the price was more than expected,for two,more than three times what we paid for the room.Hotel service was good,although as I mentioned earlier,all attention was given to the restaurant.The food was good,although we feel it lacks centain wow in taste that we expect the two stars would deliver.Desserts however,were excellent.

I was a bit nervous about this place given reviews that said that the Large Rooms are not refurbished. Ours was, and it was very nice, a bargain at the price, clean, attractive (except for some hideous art)and large. The shower was one serious disappointment, it didn't measure up to the overall quality of the room. Service was efficient, a little supercilious perhaps, but overall fine. It's well out of Reims though, really in Tinqeaux, so it's pretty much only for those driving themselves, which can be a little dicey after visiting champagne caves and then sipping some more in the main square.

Tues 23 Aug 2011, I called to book the hotel. The reservation person, Julie, at the hotel L'Assiette Champenoise stated that despite the different categories and prices of Junior Suites and Large Room that the hotel offers and charges for, the Junior Suite with Dressing is the same type of room as the Large Room. To make matters worse, the hotel has received bad reviews on Trip Advisor. The worst reviews for the hotel relate to the rooms and the bad condition and bad decor of some of these rooms, especially when they are NOT Junior Suites. Guests who have visited the hotel advise people who must go there, to only take the Junior Suites.
It is disappointing that the first hotel in the hotel offer package book (Alain Ducasse 10 Years) has refused to provide a Junior Suite Dressing as stated in the offer package, but will only offer a Large Room as part of the package as a replacement. This is even more worrying in light of the bad reviews of accommodation that are not Junior Suites. If you are prepared to pay the full cost for a Junior Suite separately, then the hotel will allow you to reserve the Junior Suite at the rack rate.
The hotel has five types of accommodation: three types of Suites (Terrace Suite 80m2 with Living Zen, dressing and terrace , Balcony Suite 80m2 with Living Zen, dressing and balcony, and a Junior Suite 65m2 with dressing), and two types of Rooms (Large Room 50m2, and a Room 35m2).
The hotel agent, Julie, said that the hotel changed the names of the suites and rooms, renovated and do not offer Junior Suites to holders of the Alain Ducasse 10 years offer.

Much of the attraction at L'Assiette Champenoise is the restaurant, which has 2 Michelin stars. I have heard from others who stayed here in one of their original rooms that they are not great, but I was lucky enough to stay in one of their brand new junior suites (opened 2011) which was absolutely beautiful: very large, ultra-modern with spa bathrooms including huge rainfall showers, tasteful leather designer furniture and whisper-quiet air-conditioning.

These rooms (I think there are 8 of them) are much more expensive at over 350 Euro per night, but they offer real luxury. And if you are in the market for 2* dinners, you might well be splashing out (or just able to afford it!).

I can see that this hotel is a work in progress: the breakfast room and buffet looks like something from another era compared to these rooms, the foyer and the main restaurant, but I think the best way to enjoy this hotel and the excellent food at the moment is to book a suite and hang the expense. And to have a little patience with the Lallemand family who own it, as they roll out the programme of refurbishments of the older (and cheaper) rooms.
