Waves, Vines and a Touch of Celebrity at the Chateau L’Hospitalet

Where: Route de Narbonne Plage, Narbonne, France, France, 11100

Cradled in the hills between the town of Narbonne and the Mediterranean beaches in France’s Languedoc region, the Chateau L’Hospitalet is a hotel, restaurant, winery and visitor center all in one.

L’Hospitalet is the brainchild of former rugby star, Gerard Bertrand, who took over his family’s winemaking business. The hotel has 22 rooms with rates starting at 72 euros (no meals), though some of the suites can cost upwards of 300 euros. Rooms come with satellite flatscreen televisions, a little sitting area, desk, and full bathrooms. Everything is colorful, but understated and uncluttered. The bathrooms are large for Europe, and the showers have the best water pressure in France. The only drawback is that some of the first-floor rooms do not have windows.
