Nestled in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet, where the air hums with the quiet elegance of Chardonnay vines and the promise of liquid gold, COMO Le Montrachet emerges as a beacon of refined luxury. This 19th-century village inn, once a humble waypoint for travelers along the Route des Grands Crus, has undergone a transformative renovation that marries its storied past with a sleek, modern sensibility. Reimagined by the Singapore-based COMO group—synonymous with understated opulence from Bali to London—the hotel now sprawls across four historic buildings on the village square, its façade whispering tales of a bygone era while its interiors beckon with contemporary allure. It’s a place where the rustic charm of Burgundy meets the polished finesse of a global tastemaker, earning a coveted MICHELIN Key in 2024.
The renovation, spearheaded by designer Paola Navone, is nothing short of a love letter to the region. Forest-green toile de Jouy drapes frame windows overlooking vineyard-draped hills, while velvet tassels and glazed terracotta nod to local craftsmanship. The 30 rooms and suites—ranging from cozy Petit Clos singles to the sprawling two-bedroom COMO Suite—feel like chic sanctuaries, each a harmonious blend of Burgundian heritage and cosmopolitan comfort. Stone walls and woven willow accents ground the space, yet there’s a lightness here, a breezy elegance that invites you to linger with a glass of Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru in hand. It’s as if the hotel has always belonged, seamlessly woven into the fabric of this sleepy hamlet where the post office, bistro, and cave are the extent of village life.

Not to deny Barcelona’s many cosmopolitan charms (or pounce on its recent political turmoil), but I’ve always found Madrid to be the more alluring Spanish city. With its beaches, its sinuous Gaudí buildings, its cafés tucked away in the Gothic Quarter’s cobblestoned labyrinth, Barcelona seems too easy to fawn over—just note the roaming packs of visitors on Las Ramblas. On the other hand, Madrid, while hardly immune to tourism, somehow feels populated less by foreigners and more by Madrileños. These lucky souls live their everyday lives in a city filled monumental architecture, casually superb restaurants and a veritable trove of art. My partner and I recently spent a week moving among them.
