Hôtel du Marc is an invitation only hotel in Reims, France. The epitome of the French ‘art de vivre’, the rooms are
reserved for honoured visitors who come from the four corners of the world to discover the wines and history of the
Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin House. Hilton Hotel & Resorts’ curated rooms will capture the essence of the French space including a few ‘Clicquot twists’ and surprises for
guests to discover.
