Grand Barrail Chateau Hotel and Spa

An imposing turn-of-the-century chateau that stands out against the skyline with its fairy-tale turrets and spires, Grand Barrail Château Hotel & Spa is set in secluded and tranquil grounds in the midst of the vineyards of Saint-Emilion. Expect delectable cuisine, spacious rooms in the main building and in annexes, together with a pampering spa.

Grand Barrail Château Hotel’s 41 rooms and five suites are decorated in neutral or pale shades with abundant use of designer fabrics, creating a stylish and warm feel. Look out of the windows onto delightful gardens with manicured lawns, a large pond and a pool, all of which are surrounded by terrace upon terrace of bushy green vines that extend for miles around.

Grand Barrail Château’s most majestic rooms are reserved for the restaurant that has three separate dining areas. Choose between the Baroque magnificence of Salon Mauresque with its stained-glass windows, red marble pillars, gilding and oriental-style paintings; the more intimate Salle Ronde with its elegant chandeliers or the terrace overlooking the gardens.

The Grand Barrail Château Hotel Spa expresses its character in 46 guest rooms and suites across four luxurious properties: Le Château with its imaginative yet classic interiors; La Residence and La Maison du Vignoble with romantic views of châteaux and vineyards; and La Maison du Bien-Etre with its country estate rooms and grand vistas. The full service Grand Barrail Spa will refresh and relax body and mind, and, with Sampar cosmetics, take pampering to new heights of indulgence. Expect the food and wine at Grand Barrail Château to be a gastronomic delight, stylishly served in magnificent dining rooms. Chef Romain Gondras proposes menus greatly inspired by the Aquitaine's traditional cuisine under the good advice of Francis Garcia, who has, for many  years owned the Chapon Fin in Bordeaux.
