Wine-therapy spa, 2 Michelin star restaurant, vineyard setting






































"Just outside Bordeaux, built on a natural hot spring and operated by the famous Caudalie beauty brand, it’s a particularly fascinating Three Key property on the grounds of the Château Smith Haut-Lafitte vineyard." - 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

"There are wellness hotels, and then there are hotels like this: awarded Three Keys, our highest hotel honor, and nestled into the prestigious vineyards of the Château Smith Haut Lafitte winery just outside Bordeaux. Here, 62 rooms and suites provide perfect cocoons of relaxation." - The MICHELIN Guide

"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
