Each year, La Liste highlights the world’s finest hotels through a selection based on the analysis of leading travel guides, expert reviews, international publications, and guest feedback.

Being included in this prestigious ranking is a recognition of the dedication shown by hotels that place hospitality and the guest experience at the heart of everything they do.

For the 2026 edition, Les Sources is proud to see two of its properties honoured.

Nestled in the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, Les Sources de Caudalie has embodied, for more than twenty-five years, an art of living where wine, gastronomy, wellbeing and nature come together in perfect harmony.

Its inclusion among the World’s 1,000 Best Hotels recognises this unique vision of hospitality, brought to life each day by passionate teams.

This distinction reflects the property’s ongoing commitment to offering an authentic, attentive and deeply rooted experience inspired by its exceptional terroir.

Opened in 2026 in the heart of Burgundy’s prestigious vineyards, Les Sources de Vougeot has been awarded the Discovery Gem Hotel Award 2026, recognising the most promising new destinations on the international hospitality scene.

Housed within the historic Château de Gilly-lès-Cîteaux, the property offers an immersive experience of the Burgundian art of living, where heritage, gastronomy, wellbeing and the discovery of the UNESCO-listed Climats of Burgundy come together in perfect harmony.

In the heart of the Climats of Burgundy, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Les Sources de Vougeot brings together all the features of a 5-star hotel designed for professional events.

Located in Gilly-lès-Cîteaux, between Dijon and Beaune, Les Sources de Vougeot is set in the former Château de Gilly, a Cistercian priory listed as a Historic Monument.

The estate offers 49 rooms and suites, a Caudalie Spa, two restaurants, and a peaceful setting in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, perfect for bringing together colleagues, partners, or clients.

Les Sources de Vougeot offers two flexible 90 m² meeting rooms, flooded with natural daylight and fully equipped with modern technology.
Our venue is perfectly suited for: full-day or half-day meetings; residential seminars; executive committee and board meetings; conferences; product launches; private corporate events and exclusive buy-outs.

Two restaurants:
The gourmet restaurant, Le Clos de la Tour
L’Auberge des Cîteaux

L’Orangerie, the breakfast room facing the garden.

Every event is tailored to your company’s objectives by our dedicated team.

Beyond working hours, teams can share experiences and challenges that strengthen cohesion and help discover the region:

– Food: tasting fine wines; mustard-making workshop, activities around truffles…
– Wine: exploring Clos de Vougeot, visiting wineries, oenology workshops…
– Sports and wellness: e-bike rallies, hot air balloon rides, treatments at Spa Caudalie…

These activities can easily be included in a residential seminar or incentive program.

The Triple Crown honours properties that have succeeded in winning the admiration of both Condé Nast Traveler’s editors and travellers from around the world. Very few hotels can claim this distinction today, making it a testament to sustained excellence over time.
For Les Sources de Caudalie, this recognition confirms a vision of hospitality that has been cultivated for more than twenty-five years: offering an authentic, refined experience that is deeply connected to its surroundings.

Nestled within the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, just a few kilometres from Bordeaux, Les Sources de Caudalie embodies a distinctive vision of luxury, where nature, wellbeing, gastronomy and wine come together in perfect harmony.
The recent renewal of our Palace distinction further highlights the daily commitment of our teams to delivering an exceptional level of excellence. This recognition celebrates attentive service, bespoke experiences and a unique art of living within a five-star hotel surrounded by vineyards.
From characterful rooms and suites to the Spa Vinotherapie Caudalie, gourmet restaurants and immersive experiences in the world of Bordeaux’s great wines, every stay is designed as a timeless escape.

Since opening its doors in 1999, Les Sources de Caudalie has celebrated the richness of its terroir. Designed as a hamlet nestled among the vines, the property draws inspiration from regional heritage and the history of the Bordeaux wine region.
In her article dedicated to our Maison, journalist Lanie Goodman highlights this unique identity:
“Designed as a hamlet overlooking the duck ponds, the hotel complex was partially constructed with reclaimed materials, including hefty timber beams salvaged from Château Lafite-Rothschild’s cellars. So the buildings exude an authentic, historic feel, as if they’ve presided over the vines for centuries.”
This description resonates deeply with our commitment to offering an authentic experience, closely connected to nature and the history of the estate.

Les Sources de Vougeot offer several room configurations perfectly suited to family stays in Burgundy, whether you are visiting for a weekend or an entire week.

The Children’s Cabotte: an enchanting dormitory

The highlight for families: a delightful dormitory accommodating up to 4 children, featuring two bunk beds, a traditional school desk and whimsical wallpaper designed to inspire sweet dreams. It connects directly to two double bedrooms for parents, ensuring both reassuring proximity and preserved privacy.

Connecting rooms and suites with lounge area

Other rooms are available with lounge areas and sofa beds, ideal for families with young children or teenagers. Throughout the House, natural materials and authentic details create a warm atmosphere, faithful to the Burgundy art of living.

Directly from the château, a wide range of family activities in Burgundy awaits you. Each day can be enjoyed freely, balancing discovery and relaxation.

Cycling, tennis and swimming pool: enjoy the fresh air
Borrow the House bicycles and set off through the vineyards along the Route des Grands Crus. The paths running beside the Vouge river and through the vines are perfect for leisurely rides suitable for even the youngest children. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy the tennis court with the whole family, while our coach Thomas also offers private lessons. At the end of the afternoon, the outdoor swimming pool invites you to unwind.

Meeting our animals
On the footbridge crossing the moat, children can observe the miniature goats Chardo, Pinot and Gamay, along with the Ouessant sheep Romanée Conti and Rothschild. This special moment with the animals, set within a beautifully preserved natural environment, often becomes one of the most memorable experiences of a stay at Les Sources de Vougeot.

Staying at Les Sources de Vougeot also means enjoying an ideal location from which to explore the region. Here are some essential family outings less than an hour from the House.

History and heritage

Just a few minutes’ walk away, the Château du Clos de Vougeot offers a fascinating immersion into Burgundy’s winemaking history. In Dijon (25 minutes away), the famous Owl Trail transforms a visit to the historic centre into a treasure hunt. By following the small bronze owls embedded in the ground, the whole family can wander through the medieval streets at their own pace.

Sensory discoveries and nature

At the Cassissium in Nuits-Saint-Georges (10 minutes away), both children and adults can discover the world of Burgundy blackcurrants through an interactive and immersive experience. For a more active outdoor adventure, the Acro’Mania treetop courses around Dijon feature zip lines and challenges among the trees, accessible from the age of 3 depending on the course.

Hot air balloon flight above the vineyards (from 7 years old)

To complete your stay, a sunrise or sunset hot air balloon flight reveals Burgundy from a truly unforgettable perspective.

Just a short walk from the hotel, the Château du Clos de Vougeot stands as one of the most powerful symbols of the world’s wine heritage. Behind its historic walls shaped by Cistercian monks, it reveals centuries of tradition, expertise and excellence.

In spring, the golden light bathing its glazed tile roofs creates a striking spectacle. It is the ideal season to take your time exploring, from the monumental wine presses to the vaulted cellars that have witnessed the birth of Burgundy’s finest vintages.

Opening hours: April to October, daily from 9.30 am to 6.00 pm (last entry at 5.30 pm). November to March, from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm.

Around Vougeot, several villages perfectly embody the essence of Burgundy and are well worth a visit during your stay.

Gevrey-Chambertin, just ten minutes away by car, unfolds its charming streets lined with wine cellars and estates. This is where some of the world’s most prestigious wines are born.
Nuits-Saint-Georges invites you to enjoy an authentic stroll, deeply connected to the vineyard, with producers located in the very heart of the town.
Further south, Beaune shines with exceptional heritage: its Hospices, ramparts, cellars and private mansions make it an unmissable cultural and gastronomic destination.

The region offers a wealth of experiences designed for both children and adults. In Beaune, the Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne features a fun and multi-sensory children’s trail centred around the vine, with creative workshops and a grape juice tasting.

In the cobbled streets of the old town, a treasure hunt called “The Mystery of the Lost Coat of Arms” turns the visit into a real family adventure. In Nuits-Saint-Georges, the Cassissium introduces younger visitors to the secrets of blackcurrant in an interactive and delicious way.

And for the most precious moments: a bike ride through the vineyards, a picnic by the stone walls, or discovering the traditional cadoles along the Route des Grands Crus. Burgundy is also about enjoying simple pleasures together as a family.

In spring, the Spa Caudalie reveals its full meaning. The vines emerge from dormancy, and treatments using grape seed extracts echo this natural renewal.
Toning, radiance and deep relaxation: vinotherapy rituals adapt to the body’s rhythm and the changing season.

Let our therapists guide you through a world of unique treatments, designed in harmony with the vineyard stretching just beyond the windows.

For a duo massage, a signature treatment or a full day of relaxation, our team will tailor your experience.
