Hotel Legends: Villa La Coste with Hotelier Paddy McKillen
Description
Villa La Coste, located just outside Aix-en-Provence in the South of France, has become one of the most legendary hotels in the world. Melissa sits down with Paddy McKillen, the mastermind behind the 28 suite boutique hotel to explore its varied history. Villa La Coste sits on the grounds of the extraordinary 600-acre estate, Château La Coste, where one also finds an open-air contemporary art museum and winery. The property is a labor of love – a product of Paddy’s passion for art and architecture and thoughtful collaboration with his closest friends, who also happen to be some of the world’s most renowned artists. Paddy shares what he believes is the key to hospitality success, and the passion it takes to serve others. In this Passport to Everywhere archival episode, discover how a 300-year-old winery in the South of France was transformed into an incredible contemporary art park with a boutique 5-star hotel — and learn the reasons why Melissa returns year after year.
