On the prestigious estate of Château Smith Haut Lafitte is a luxury spa hotel Hotel Les Sources de Caudalie:
In an art-filled château guests can enjoy wine tastings on local vineyards, explore the grounds with lake and golf course, and enjoy one of two gourmet restaurants. The Hotel Les Sources de Caudalie is the original vinotherapy hotel and is most famous for its spa treatments.
This Bordeaux wine spa hotel offers swimming pool and tennis and rooms have a private terrace or balcony with views across the lake or vineyards.
Located amongst Grand Cru Classé vineyards in the Pessac-Leognan (Graves) district of Bordeaux the Château Smith Haut Lafitte is one of the most prestigious chateaux of Bordeaux, and yet it is grapes from these vineyards that form the basis of the wine treatments in the spa – you do not actually bathe in wine, but in preparations which use the extract of the grapes! The wines here are mainly red, grown on gravel and a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered.
The hotel is at Martillac (33 Gironde, Nouvelle Aquitaine) about 10 miles south of Bordeaux city.
