Domaine De Verchant - Provence

D O M A I N E D E V E R C H A N T

Domaine De Verchant is a grand boutique hotel is set on its own wine estate just outside Montpellier, in Castelnau Le Lez. The hotel is a mansion made over by Raymond Morel into a luxury retreat with a deliciously decadent spa. The buttercup-yellow building dates from the 14th-century – within the old stone walls and weathered shutters, you’ll find marvellous mosaics and a sharply curated collection of European design classics.

The deliberately intimate hotel maintains a low accommodation capacity to promote optimal service and comfort. 26 luxurious apartments, rooms and suites from 30 to 90 m² achieve a subtle blend of old architecture and contemporary design that extends into the hotel's reception, lounges and lounge bar. The hotel is designed for lingering, but if you do want to get out and about, Montpellier's town centre is a 10-minute drive, with the beaches of La Grande Motte about five minutes further. Montpellier Airport is just over 10 minutes away by car.

The hotel restaurant “Le Verchant” is an elegant but unfussy gourmet restaurant run by Chef Damien Cousseau. There’s a Mediterranean lunch menu, a bien-être evening set menu of lobster, crab, foie gras and more, and the surprise menu, for those who want to trust their tastebuds to the chef. A second restaurant Les Plages dans les Vignes is a more casual affair, set by the pool. You don’t want to miss the hotel bar - A bright space with mosaic flooring, square grey tables and egg-shaped swivel chairs in olive-green leather, the bar is the perfect place to test-taste Verchant’s own wines, as well as sampling the fine single-malt selection.
