By Invitation Only
Nestled in the heart of Reims, France, the Hôtel du Marc has stood as a private sanctuary for visitors of the esteemed Veuve Clicquot champagne house for nearly two centuries. This historic gem, constructed in 1840, has witnessed the passage of time, including two world wars, and yet it remains a beacon of luxury and exclusivity.
In 1986, the luxury conglomerate LVMH proudly acquired the Veuve Clicquot label, spearheading an extensive four-year refurbishment of the Maison in 2007. This transformation, meticulously orchestrated by the sought-after Parisian architect Bruno Moinard, elegantly melds classic splendor with contemporary flair and storytelling. Moinard’s vision harmoniously preserves the building’s legacy as a historic family residence, while infusing it with modern artistic expressions from renowned creatives like Hervé Van der Straeten, Yayoi Kusama, the Campana brothers, Mathieu Lehanneur, and Pablo Reinoso.
Although bearing the title “hotel,” Hôtel du Marc is uniquely distinct from conventional hotels. It’s a private estate utilized by Veuve Clicquot for hosting intimate gatherings, prestigious events, media engagements, and business partners. This exclusive champagne experience offers a rare glimpse into the heart and soul of the brand.
My own visit a few years ago unveiled the true magnificence of this place. The opulence, the history, and the embodiment of the Veuve Clicquot spirit left an indelible impression.
