COMO Hotels and Resorts announces the rebirth of a landmark 19th-century property on Bordeaux’s famed Left Bank. Reopening on 1 May 2026, COMO Cordeillan-Bages 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.
As COMO’s third property in France, the hotel forms a natural pairing with COMO Le Montrachet in Burgundy. Located in Pauillac, at the heart of the Médoc, the estate is set among rolling vineyards and historic châteaux that define Bordeaux’s most celebrated appellations. The region is long synonymous with excellence in winemaking, heritage and gastronomy — qualities that closely mirror the shared values of COMO and the Cazes family, who are among the region’s most respected estates.
The transformation of the intimate property, distinguished by its turrets dating back to the 17thcentury, is being led by renowned 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.
COMO Cordeillan-Bages is a natural retreat for oenophiles and wine lovers. Through its close relationship with Château Lynch-Bages, guests enjoy exclusive access to experiences rarely available to the public. The hotel is also within easy reach of some of the most renowned vineyards in the world, including three of Bordeaux’s five First Growths.
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.
Olivier Jolivet, CEO of COMO Holdings, said “Following the success of COMO Le Montrachet, we are delighted to expand our presence in another of the world’s great wine regions. The Médoc’s heritage and craftsmanship resonate strongly with COMO’s values and with COMO Cordeillan-Bages, we will reimagine Bordeaux’s traditions through a contemporary expression of quiet luxury in the heart of the Médoc”.
“We are delighted to be partnering with a family group of such standing, united by shared values and a common pursuit of excellence. First opened 35 years ago, Cordeillan-Bages was among the pioneering hotels of wine tourism in the region. Today, this collaboration marks a natural continuation of our enduring commitment to the Médoc and to Cordeillan-Bages, while giving the property a new momentum for the years ahead,” said Jean-Charles Cazes, CEO of Château Lynch-Bages.
The opening of COMO Cordeillan-Bages marks the brand’s third property in France, joining COMO Le Beauvallon in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, which is set to open on 24 April 2026.
