Soak up not just vino but history in this 19th-century mansion in a vibrant corner of wine country.

Modern digs in the Saint Jean Station District – strollable to Saint-Michel Basilica.

Less than a 20-min walk to the Cité du Vin (proclaimed a 'Guggenheim to wine'), where you can take your vin know-how to a whole new level.

The name is no joke: the plush 18th century-inspired guestrooms, stately architecture and top-notch service are grand, indeed.

Modern rooms that are clean and comfy.

Gardeny, tree-filled setting near Bordeaux vineyards and the Cité du Vin museum.

Short drives to some of the best vineyards in the French countryside (and that's saying something).

18th Century mansion mixes old-world architecture with minimalist modern décor.

Parking means you're not stuck tracking down a spot.

Eclectic décor is full of fun surprises, from circular doorways to playful tiger rugs and canary yellow bath tile.
