"Set in picturesque Martillac on the grounds of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, this Three-Key hotel showcases regional design heritage through architect Yves Collet’s use of reclaimed materials and antique wood. The on-site spa specializes in vinotherapy, drawing on the antioxidant properties of surrounding vines for indulgent treatments like a Crushed Cabernet scrub and a grape must bath. During our stay, the sense of luxury felt deliberately in tune with nature—just as founders and co-owners Alice and Jérôme Tourbier put it: “Our aim was to reimagine luxury hospitality in harmony with nature.”" - The MICHELIN Guide

"An elegant hotel and spa set on the site of a thermal spring, located on the grounds of Château Smith Haut‑Lafitte just minutes from Bordeaux. “Vinotherapy” sets the tone, whether in the Caudalie Spa or by the glass, and dining spans a Two-Star experience at La Grand’Vigne—showcasing local Aquitaine produce and wines, particularly Pessac‑Léognan—to the nostalgic charm of La Table du Lavoir, tucked beneath an old wooden market hall." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Set on the grounds of a Grand Cru Classé wine estate outside Bordeaux, this spa‑focused hotel ties its identity to the vineyard with vinotherapy treatments, views onto Château Smith Haut Lafitte’s vines, restaurants that pair gourmet food with great wines, and leadership in eco‑responsible luxury—becoming the first Palace to receive the European Ecolabel in 2023." - Mary Winston Nicklin
