What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Subtlety and seclusion are the bywords at Hôtel Les Glycines, a former coaching inn by the side of the Vézère River deep in the Périgord Noir region.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Prehistoric cave sites and limestone cliffs surround the valley, and the village of Les Eyzies is a short walk away.
The rooms
Main-house rooms keep to muted contemporary palettes, while three detached eco-lodges open onto private terraces in the park.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool looks across the park lawn. Inside, exposed stone walls enclose a pool with an integrated whirlpool bath.
The spa
Sothys facial and body rituals take place in three treatment cabins. A wood-paneled dry sauna and herbal tea lounge sit nearby.
At the table
Michelin-starred Le 1862 serves Périgord dinners on the terrace. In the bright veranda, Le Bistro des Glycines cooks daily market plates.
How it began
The former postal stop takes its name from the wisteria climbing its walls, and became a hotel in 1972.
