Hotels in Beaune or Dijon
I am traveling to the Burgundy Region of France in late August and need a nice place to stay near city center. If anyone has suggestions or a suggested itinerary, please post it here. Also, if anyone knows personally of particularly good restaurants in the area, I would appreciate it.

Might I suggest you go to the Fodor's forum and use their search engine. There are numerous posts on hotels and restaurants in Burgundy. I've been using it to plan our upcoming trip.
Here is what should be a direct link to the "Europe" forum:

Happy hunting.

Five or six years ago I stayed in the Best Western Henry II in Beaune. As far as I can remember, it was an adequate but not luxurious hotel, a short walk from the old city center. We got a very good rate, for a French hotel in summer, from the Best Western web site. I'd recommend it if spending less money and getting an acceptable hotel is more important to you than spending more and getting a place with more character and charm.

Rudi's suggestion of the Henry II in Beaune looks beautiful.
If that's booked, you might also consider a bed&breakfast. This site lists a number of them, but it's inconvenient to use since they redesigned it.

Last time I was in that city we stayed here and enjoyed our stay.
As far as I can recall the rates werent too high - was in early October.
Just on the right after the intersection of circle road and the road coming from Dijon and very close to walking to the centre.

To my mind, most of the better restaurants in the burgundy area are not in either beaune or dijon, but in the small towns or wide spots. There are a number of B&B type places in the area.
we stayed at the hotel chapeau rouge, which was an old building at that time. was in excellent shape. is in the center of dijon, and as I recall had free parking.
we ate in the restaurant in the hotel, which at that time was supposed to be the best in dijon. the food was not all that special, and the ambiance was lousy. small tables in three rows and two eisles. we sat in a center row table, and had people and waiters blasting by.
the quality in the michelin one star and equal is great in burgundy, and there are a lot of them.
If you get the current michelin guide and the current highest detail michelin map for an area, the towns with a guide mention is highlighted in at least bold. the scale is 1/200,000 or 1cm=2km.

We stayed at the Sofitel Dijon La Cloche after having read postive reviews on TripAdvisor. We arrived in Dijon via TGV late on a Saturday morning and walked to the hotel. Our room was not ready so they upgraded us to a larger executive room with a sitting area and balcony. Fabulous. Staff were friendly and helpful. Walking distance to the interesting city centre. Ate on the terrace of the hotel's restaurant, Le jardin de la cloche. Very good food. At one point we were somewhat forgotten, but they just poured some more wine at no charge to help compensate! Definitely intend to return.

Beaune Hotel Recommendation
dergon_gf and I ill be in Beaune for a conference in October.
The meeting is being held at the Hotel Le Cep which has gotten horrific reviews here (although those date back to 2003-2004) and mixed reviews on other sites.
Does anyone here have a specific recommendation for a hotel in Beaune that is of good quality close to the city center (walking distance)?
thanks, dergon

Personally if I had to go to a conference in Beaune, I would stay either in Chalon Sur Saone or Dijon. They have much nicer city centre's. I recently stayed at the Kyriad across from train station in Dijon and it was just fine. Both cities are about 15-20 minutes from Beaune by train.
