Located on Bordeaux’s famed Left Bank, COMO Cordeillan-Bages, slated to open May 2026, marks the luxury hospitality brand’s debut in one of the world’s most revered wine regions, realised in close collaboration with the Cazes family, owners of the prestigious Château Lynch-Bages. The opening reflects COMO’s family-owned philosophy, bringing together two family legacies united by a shared commitment to craftsmanship, finesse and understated luxury, as well as a deep appreciation for exceptional food and wine.
The transformation of the intimate property, distinguished by its turrets dating back to the 17thcentury, is being led by Italian designer Paola Navone, who also reimagined COMO Le Montrachet. Navone’s renovation touches every aspect of the hotel, from its 28 rooms and suites, including two signature COMO Suites to the gastronomic restaurant and the 25-metre outdoor pool and adjacent gym and sauna. The design balances understated elegance with a strong sense of place, blending contemporary comfort with the textures, materials and quiet sophistication. In dialogue with the building’s heritage, the interiors bring clarity, strength and a sense of calm refinement to each space.
Beyond the vineyards, the region offers a rich tapestry of experiences. Just a six-minute walk from the beautifully restored village of Bages, guests are immersed in a setting of artisanal boutiques and a convivial bistro, with nearby villages offering a seamless blend of historic charm and contemporary life through independent shops, gastronomic restaurants and wine boutiques. The Médoc’s natural landscape unfolds across expansive vineyards and fragrant pine forests to the sandy Atlantic coastline, just 30 kilometres away, while the hotel sits along the legendary Route des Châteaux — home to some of the world’s most iconic wineries.
