Cabot Bordeaux is set to get even better. Over the next year, the former Golf du Médoc Resort will undergo a complete reimagining to achieve five-star status, befitting its prestigious wine-country setting.

Golf course renovations will be phased from January to March 2025, allowing guests to play portions of the courses, with full completion expected by spring 2025. The hotel will receive a stunning redesign by UK-based design firm Russell Sage Studio in late 2025, with the refreshed interiors debuting in 2026.

Things to do in Richmond, VA: Where to eat, play, drink, and stay in Virginia’s capital city

Here are things to do in Richmond for every type of traveler

In the nearly 300 years since its founding in 1737, Richmond has teetered between periods of great prosperity and utter hardship. Today, it boasts a colorful "capital city" vibe like so many pint-sized capitals around the U.S. But there are plenty of things to do in Richmond, VA, beyond visiting historical monuments and statues, despite the area's deep roots in the country's ancestry. Think natural wonders like enjoying the fall foliage or a night on the town enjoying live music.
I spent three weeks in the area, and there was never a shortage of things to do, diverse neighborhoods to explore, and most importantly, extremely friendly folks who could point me in the right direction as I navigated the Richmond scene. I can confirm that boutique hotels, gallery spaces, and nouveau chefs are finding their groove in previously forgotten corners of the city. After spending a month in this RVA region, here are my top recommended restaurants, bars, hotels, and things to do in the quirky capital.
