Château des Crayères stands in Reims (Marne), in the Grand Est region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

On the Saint-Nicaise hill in Reims, the Château des Crayères overlooks a landscaped park designed by Édouard André, with views over the Saint-Remi basilica and the cathedral. Built in the early twentieth century for the Pommery-Polignac family, the Mansart-style building now houses a hotel and gourmet restaurants. A visit here is less about touring a monument in the usual sense than about experiencing the Champagne region's art of living.
