"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
"To the south of Bordeaux proper, nestled in the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, you’ll find Les Sources de Caudalie, a 5-star hotel with 61 rooms and suites spread among six Aquitaine-style houses. Alice Tourbier and Delphine Sauvaget designed the interiors to feel like a contemporary country home, with earthy tones and smooth wooden decor. Splashed in natural light and shades of white, “L’Île Aux Oiseaux” (Birds Island) suite feels like a Nancy Myers movie set. The spa incorporates the famed wine grapes into beauty treatments with their trademarked vinotherapy, which draws upon the anti-aging properties of the polyphenols found in grape seeds, combined with organic Caudalie products." - Lindsey Tramuta, Mary Winston Nicklin
"An elegant hotel and spa set on the site of a thermal spring, located on the grounds of Château Smith Haut-Lafitte, just a few minutes from Bordeaux. 'Vinotherapy' is the order of the day, with the option to receive wine-based relaxation in the Caudalie spa or served by the glass." - The MICHELIN Guide
