Our favourite rooms
If you want to really let down your hair during a stay early next year, book the room in the turret and go full Rapunzel; or if treehouses are more your youth-reliving style, go for one of the lodges on stilts secluded in the forest. Or for some literal forest bathing, from next spring, you can book one of the suites with a Nordic tub on the terrace to soak up more than just the views.
Spa
The spa invites little Smiths along for tailor-made treatments by Parisian brand Nougatine. Meanwhile, the grown-ups can enjoy face and body rituals with organic thalassic ingredients from Cap Ferret and already-soothing names such as ‘Head in the Clouds’ or ‘Sweet Dream’.
Packing tips
An empty suitcase (or, even better, boot) to stockpile the appellation’s finest red and white wares.
Also
There’s a programme of events held every summer, which includes live singers and bands to accompany cocktail nights, and pop-up guinguettes to give guests a less-bawdy taste of 17th-century Paris.
Pet‐friendly
One pet is allowed for bookings in the lodges or the Millésime room (€15 a night). See more pet-friendly hotels in Bordeaux.
Children
Château de Léognan accepts children of all ages. Some rooms have a sofa-bed, and cots and baby bath tubs can be added on request. The spa offers tween-friendly treatments, too, and a petting farm and kids’ club are in the works.
