Rooms
Rooms are spread across three buildings, each with their own distinct style. For aristocratic glamour and ornate historic detailing, the Château Suites offer the chance to luxuriate in regal surroundings. The Chai Suites are far more contemporary and set in the chateau’s former cellar, while the Jardin Suites in the former outbuildings have a slightly more rustic charm with grand proportions and French windows opening onto the gardens. All rooms have a flat-screen TV and DVD player, and large bathrooms with modern fixtures. The Chai and Jardin Suites also have air conditioning and Wi-Fi.
Location
Located just 40 minutes northwest of Lyon and situated in the middle of the bucolic Beaujolais wine region, Château de Bagnols is an enviable spot for visitors looking for the best of both worlds. Given its proximity, you can enjoy the gastronomic hub of Lyon as well as relaxing days tasting the region’s best wines.
Food and drink
Matching the majestic surroundings with heavenly food, Château de Bagnols’ restaurant, 1217, is a gastronomic delight. The menu offers an innovative take on Lyonnais classics, and the creative flare here has been awarded a Michelin star. The menu changes frequently with the seasons and the availability of local produce, with many ingredients coming from the castle’s own aromatic gardens. Smart dress is requested whether you sit in the elegant interior dining room or on the panoramic terrace.
Facilities and activities
Surrounded by cherry trees and lounge chairs, the large outdoor swimming pool is a highlight. There is also an extensive spa with an indoor pool, steam room and four treatment rooms, as well as a gym and formal gardens. Guests can explore the Beaujolais wine route, play golf, hike or visit a variety of museums nearby.
