Champagne Sports Resort has been striving to be perfect for both work and play. “This is a difficult balance to achieve; but following recent developments we believe we’ve created a truly unique destination catering for all guest requirements in an absolutely spectacular setting,” says James Macquet.

Champagne Sports Resort can now accommodate up to 750 delegates. “The 40 new hotel rooms and four new luxurious executive suites enables us to offer a total of 152 hotel rooms and 91 timeshare chalets, the majority of which have three bedrooms,” adds Macquet.
