Maison Lameloise is a celebrated four-star hôtel-restaurant in the town of Chagny, in the Saône-et-Loire department of southern Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Operating since 1921 and long recognised as one of the great gastronomic institutions of Burgundy, the establishment has held Michelin stars for decades, with the kitchen currently holding three stars under chef Eric Pras. The restaurant occupies a handsome bourgeois house in Chagny's town centre and produces a refined haute cuisine rooted in Burgundian tradition, built around seasonal regional ingredients and executed with technical precision. The cellar holds over 1,200 wine references focused on Burgundy's finest appellations, and the sommelier team is available to guide guests through producers and vintages relevant to the menu. The hotel wing offers 16 classically decorated rooms and suites above and adjacent to the restaurant, with quiet interiors and quality furnishings suited to the serene atmosphere of a gastronomic house. Chagny is positioned midway between Beaune (15 km north) and Chalon-sur-Saône (15 km south), placing guests within easy reach of the Côte de Beaune wine villages — Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Chassagne-Montrachet — and the northern Côte Chalonnaise. Chagny SNCF station is within walking distance of the restaurant, with direct TER services to Dijon in 35 minutes and to Lyon in one hour. Advance reservations for both rooms and the restaurant are essential, particularly during Burgundy's harvest season from September through November and around the Hospices de Beaune auction weekend. Rates for rooms range from approximately €250 to €550 per night.
