Intercontinental Bordeaux - Le Grand Hotel

Treat yourself to five-star service with a stay at the stunning InterContinental Bordeaux. Just steps from the river in the heart of the city, you’ll be surrounded by the buzz of bars and bistros and charming late-night dinner spots on the riverfront. The main sights are close by too, like the Place de la Bourse, which you can walk to in under five minutes. That’s if you want to leave the hotel at all – it’s such a gorgeous building, you might decide you want to spend all your time being pampered right here.

Between the hotel’s two restaurants, you’ll get the opportunity to sample the finest cuisine southwest France has to offer. Le Bordeaux serves classic local favourites like roasted chicken supreme in a relaxed bistro. For something a bit special, there’s Michelin-starred cookery on offer at Le Pressoir D’Argent Gordon Ramsay. Meanwhile, up on the roof terrace, you can sip a fancy cocktail with beautiful Bordeaux and the Garonne River as your backdrop.

Located on the top floor of the hotel, Spa Guerlain is a haven of relaxation and wellbeing. Take a dip in the quirky pool, surrounded by pillars and beautiful mosaics, or turn up the heat in the sauna before indulging yourself in a massage from the spa’s extensive list of treatments.

The classically styled rooms all feature 19th-century French furnishings, while benefiting from modern comforts, like complimentary Wi-Fi and a flatscreen TV. After a busy day in bustling Bordeaux, there’s nothing better than slipping into your luxury bathrobe and slippers, and sprawling out on the spacious bed.
