Set amid the celebrated vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, this country house hotel divides 40 rooms and 21 suites among the main structure and five outbuildings (one more-modern annex). Lodgings feature heavy chintzes, dark wood floors and luxurious Porthault linens, while baths come equipped with separate showers and soaking tubs. Request one of the second-floor garden-facing rooms or suites in the main building, or try the romantic redesigned L’Ile aux Oiseaux suite. The property offers an haute cuisine two-star restaurant, wine bar and a delightful bistro that specializes in authentic regional dishes. Celebrated spa with a gym and indoor and heated outdoor pools provides “vinothérapie” treatments. Activities include tennis, golf, biking, cooking classes and wine tours.
