Hôtel du Golf de l'Ailette, The Originals Relais is a fantastic option for golfers looking for a peaceful stay-and-play break in northern France. Set directly beside Lac de l'Ailette in Chamouille, between Reims, Laon and Soissons, this four-star hotel combines lakeside accommodation, golf, wellness facilities and excellent access to the Champagne region. For us, it works particularly well for couples and golf groups who want a relaxed base surrounded by nature.

The hotel has 58 spacious rooms, all measuring around 27m² and facing the lake. Every room includes its own balcony or terrace, so the water and surrounding countryside are always part of the experience. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, minibars and comfortable modern interiors make the rooms ideal for a short golf break, while family accommodation is available for groups needing additional space.

Golf is one of the biggest reasons to stay. Golf de l'Ailette is right beside the hotel and offers an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Michel Gayon. Measuring 6,115 metres, the layout follows the shores of the lake and moves across the rolling landscape of the Chemin des Dames, with water hazards, bunkering and changing elevations providing plenty of strategic decisions. There is also a compact nine-hole course, driving range and Pro Shop, making it easy to add extra golf or practice during your stay.

After golf, the lakeside setting really comes into its own. The hotel has a heated outdoor swimming pool, alongside indoor and outdoor Jacuzzi facilities and treatments available by appointment. A nearby wellness area adds a heated indoor pool, sauna and hammam, giving you plenty of options for relaxing after 18 holes.

Dining is centred around the hotel's panoramic restaurant, where seasonal cuisine is served overlooking Lac de l'Ailette. Two terraces make the most of the views during warmer weather, while the Birdy Bar is a relaxed spot for a cocktail, glass of Champagne or post-round drink.

There is plenty to explore away from golf too. The historic city of Laon, the Chemin des Dames, Vauclair Abbey and the Champagne region around Reims are all within reach, making the hotel a great base for combining golf with sightseeing, history and French food and wine.
