Olivier Leflaive Hôtel Restaurants

recommendable hotel in all aspects in the middle of first class wine region with very good accessibility by car.

Don't waste your money staying here. They have no idea how to run a hotel. The only good thing is the location.

My husband and I have just completed a four week trip to France revisiting some of our favorites places from Bordeaux to Provence, the Côte d'azur and finally, after a 20 year absence, Burgundy . I knew we wanted to stay outside of Beaune and because Puligny-Montrachet is famous for its Chardonnay we chose Olivier Leflaive Hotel. The hotel was the best one we stayed in - wonderful, luxurious, elegant do not adequately describe our room (15 - the Patrick Suite named after Olivier’s brother) nor does it convey the hospitality that we experienced over our five night stay - so much so I wanted to reserve the room for another five nights. It is my understanding that Julie Leflaivie, Olivier’s daughter is responsible for the decor. Well done as it excludes warmth and sophistication with a perfect blend of both. The staff beginning with the front desk, the sommelier, the wait staff at dinner and the lovely woman who prepared our coffee every morning exceeded our expectations of a hotel staff. Everyone was delightful and made us feel welcome. And then there was Patrick with a warm bonjour or bonsoir upon each meeting. And the wonderful cave visit with Olivier guiding the group while imparting his knowledge and humor to make it a special memory. We hope to return again to Burgundy and the cote de Beaune and if we do I would not hesitate to stay again at the Olivier Leflaive Hotel.

It is rare in today's world to find establishments that combine true excellence and a human touch. Thanks in great part to a brilliant core team we were treated to a flawless stay in a spacious, comfortable and elegant room. Olivier Leflaive is a family business, so every room is named after a family member. In our case, its namesake even contributed to the decoration, which blended style and originality. The same "je ne sais quoi" accompanied us throughout a sumptuous dinner choreographed, a Maitre d' who blended a consummate professionalism and a passion for her work and the family's approach to its business. Between courses, we delved deeper and deeper into the intricacies of Burgundian wine with the Klima's sommelier, who regaled us to an expertly designed vertical spanning multiple appellations and climates. (Note to wine aficionados: In their characteristic generosity, the Leflaive make a couple of Grand crus available to guest by the glass!) In short, if blending superb terroir, culinary excellence and hospitality with a family touch sounds like something you might enjoy, make sure Olivier Leflaive is on your next itinerary!

This is the quintessential hotel in the Cotes de Beaune. Family run and so friendly. We met Mssr. LeFlaive and his granddaughter. It was like staying with friends. The vineyard tour was awesome. There is nothing quite like standing at Montrachet.
