Grand Hôtel La Cloche Dijon - MGallery by Sofitel

The Grand Hôtel La Cloche has been as an iconic symbol in the center of Dijon for the better part of seven centuries. While the earliest known records of the building date to the 1400s, it did not become a hotel until at least the 1790s. The present iteration of the hotel came about during the 19th century, however, when its ambitious owner, Edmond Goisset, overhauled both its outward appearance and inner layout. Enterprising hoteliers managed to resurrect the building in the 1980s. Sofitel now operates this magnificent historical structure as the Grand Hôtel La Cloche Dijon - MGallery by Sofitel. Nestled at the foot of the graceful Côte d’Or hills, Dijon has been one of France’s preeminent cities for centuries. Dijon was even the home of ancient royalty, as the Dukes of Burgundy used the city as their capital for close to 500 years. Due to its prestigious past, UNESCO has designated Dijon’s historical city center as a World Heritage site. Come begin a memorable exploration into this timeless French treasure from the steps of the Grand Hôtel La Cloche.
