Best Spa
Les Bains de Léa Nuxe Spa, Bordeaux, France
Designed by Jacques Garcia
Overlooking the city of Bordeaux from the top three floors of the Grand Hôtel, Les Bains de Léa is an opulent retreat that includes a pool, a Turkish bath, a sauna, and treatment rooms, all in rich reds and slate grays, mosaics and marble, velvet and silk. There are stylized reproductions of Botticelli and Titian on the walls and gold-leaf details everywhere. The rooftop terrace bar, with its lush gardens, sprawling sofas, and tented Jacuzzi, is a further highlight of the spa’s sybaritic escapism.
