Hotel Le Saint-James Relais & Chateaux, Bouliac

A peaceful sanctuary away from the hustle-bustle of the cities

featured in Hotels

Le Saint-James, a Relais & Châteaux property, beckons you to savour an experience well off the beaten path. An experience found as much in the contemporary architecture by Jean Nouvel as in the exquisite, gourmet cuisine. All with a panoramic view of Bordeaux and, in the distance, the treetops of the great Landes forest.

Formerly a restaurant, the 18th-century farmhouse now housing Le Saint-James was transformed and enlarged in 1989 by Jean Nouvel. The architect designed four pavilions, each connected to the original building, to create the hotel’s guest rooms.

Sleek and supremely contemporary, these rooms have retained their original spirit and closeness to the natural surroundings. A concept and experience that make you feel you are living in the very midst of the vineyards.
