Les Prés d'Eugénie

Les Prés d'Eugénie, a Palace Hotel in the Heart of Landes

Les Prés d'Eugénie is a five-star hotel with France’s Palace designation in Eugénie-les-Bains, in the Landes department of southwestern France. It has been part of Relais & Châteaux since 1968 and received the Palace distinction in 2017. Christine and Michel Guérard founded the property in 1974; it is now managed by Adeline and Eléonore, continuing the family’s story.

The eight-hectare estate includes five historic buildings, seven gardens—among them kitchen gardens, rose gardens, water gardens, and boxwood gardens—a lounge bar, and a thermal spa. The property has 45 bright rooms and suites, with terraces and balconies overlooking the gardens. Breakfast is served in the rooms.

The estate has three restaurants and a culinary café. The Michelin-starred restaurant Michel Guérard has held three Michelin stars since 1977, has five Gault & Millau toques, and belongs to Les Grandes Tables du Monde.

The offering also includes La Beach House d'Huchet and a gourmet shop.

Eléonore and Adeline oversee the property’s artistic direction, while chef Hugo Souchet leads the kitchen and carries forward Michel Guérard’s legacy. The estate’s cooking school offers classes, including sessions scheduled for October and November focused on autumn flavors and ingredients such as seafood and chocolate.
