PB hotel design editorial

Among the Pessac-Léognan vineyards of Martillac, where the Cathiard family's Smith Haut Lafitte estate has produced grand cru classé wines since the fourteenth century, a cluster of low-slung Gascon-style buildings constructed from reclaimed timber and local stone gives Les Sources de Caudalie its grounded, almost rustic identity. The property opened in 1999, conceived by Alice and Bertrand Cathiard as a vinotherapy spa resort built directly into the working château estate — the vines visible from virtually every vantage point, including the long limestone-paved pool terrace enclosed by clipped hornbeam hedging that appears in the images here. The interiors hold an appealing tension between the agricultural vernacular of the architecture and something more fantastical within the rooms themselves. One guestroom carries a large-format panoramic wallpaper in the nineteenth-century scenic tradition — tropical palms and distant temples rendered in muted greens and greys — paired with a bentwood Thonet rocking chair, crystal chandelier, and wide-plank oak floors that keep the mood closer to a cultivated private house than a resort hotel. The wine bar, fitted into a converted chai, deploys a striking piece of contemporary craft: a canopy of pale ash timber slats that cascades from the ceiling over the bar counter in undulating vertical fins, contrasting deliberately with the exposed brick walls and steel roof trusses of the original agricultural building behind it.

"More of a country inn than a luxury retreat. Service lapses, poor communication from front desk and limited food options... I expected much more a resort of this caliber."

"This is an exceptional hotel in every way. The service level is fantastic from the bellmen to the concierges, the waiters, the sommeliers and housekeeping. This is truly a 5 star experience. Both restaurants are excellent with excellent food and friendly attentive service."

"We spent an absolutely exceptional weekend at Les Sources de Caudalie, a rare place where everything seems designed to make time stand still. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by impeccable staff, whose kindness and attentiveness were remarkable. Every member of the team seems to possess that discreet talent found in the finest establishments: being present without ever being intrusive, anticipating needs, smiling sincerely, and making every moment more delightful. Truly attentive service at its most elegant. The hotel itself is magnificent. The décor in the rooms is superb – refined, warm, with a charm that is at once chic, natural and deeply soothing. We particularly recommend Room 24, ideally situated near the lake: a little haven of calm, beauty and serenity. The overall atmosphere is quite simply perfect: chic, elegant and cosy, without ever being pretentious. You feel privileged there, but above all, wonderfully at ease. Les Sources de Caudalie achieves what few establishments still manage to offer: luxury without ostentation, refinement without coldness, excellence with soul. An unforgettable weekend, which we recommend without the slightest reservation. An exceptional destination, where you have only one desire as you leave: to return."
