Casa Blanca, the charm of a private individual
In the heart of the Chartrons district, in a street where Victor Hugo stayed in his time, we find this superb 19th century residence, transformed into a hotel that looks like a luxury bed and breakfast.
Between this magnificent tiling from the entrance to this stairwell, these exposed stones and mottled furniture, these combinations of marble, solid wood, leather and vintage lighting, the charm operates in a few seconds.
In the five (large) bedrooms, space, light, large walk-in showers, and a range of LA Bruket natural care products, the rising Swedish brand.
An ideal base for visiting the city, but also for broadening your horizons by taking advantage of the visits to the Bordeaux vineyards offered by the house.

A room at Dupont, in the heart of the Chartrons
The hotel Une chambre chez Dupont is located in the heart of the Chartrons district, a stone's throw from the beautiful Saint-Louis church.
Press picture
Funny name, certainly, but willingly misleading: this is not a one-room establishment with any surname, nor a tribute to Tintin, but rather a hotel straddling two addresses, located in the heart of the Chartrons district, a stone's throw from the beautiful Saint-Louis church.
There are 10 rooms and suites, each with a particular style, a mixture of colors, fabrics and antique objects with oriental or Asian influences.
A place that also doubles on the catering side, with a table and a bistro facing each other on both sides of the street.
One of the great assets of this dear Dupont: a very fine wine list from the region, to be discovered in a very “traditional” setting but full of charm.
The room to book:
the Ferbos double room, bright, with its white walls and its beautiful multicolored embroidered cushions.
The price:
from €100 per night for a double room.

La Maison du Lierre... like at home
Hotel La Maison du Lierre, a perfect balance between bourgeois decoration and a very chic country spirit.
Press picture
Here is finally unveiled a little-known address, nestled in the Golden Triangle of central Bordeaux, not far from Place des Quinconces.
If the hotel owes its name to the ivy that covers its interior terrace - more than two centuries old - nothing here seems to have suffered the ravages of time: immaculate walls, linen household linen, embroidered cushions... A perfect balance between decoration bourgeois and very chic country spirit.
A charming welcome completes the whole, with a staff never stingy with good advice on the best restaurants in the area.
The room to book:
one of the rooms on the ground floor with terrace, whose opening to the outside and the pleasure of having breakfast in the sun quickly make you forget a surface area worthy of a Parisian apartment (14m2).

La Cour Carrée, zen and very well located
La Cour Carrée, a charming boutique hotel a few steps from the quays and the famous Bordeaux Golden Triangle.
Press picture
A charming boutique hotel built around a tree-lined patio, a few steps from the quays and the famous Bordeaux Golden Triangle.
In the common areas and the rooms, a minimalist decor with Scandinavian accents, which sometimes lacks a little warmth, but never brightness, and whatever the weather decides: white walls, matt paint, beautiful wooden seats, large windows… There reigns a very “Zen” atmosphere and impeccable cleanliness, which will delight the most orderly.
On the ground floor, you can sit down to a table every morning for an invigorating breakfast which can also be served in your room, before heading out to explore the shopping streets of the town centre.

Hotel Seeko'o, ultramodern attitude
We like the very modern price range of the Seeko'o Hotel Design Bordeaux.
Press picture
Change of scenery for this 4-star with futuristic accents, a thousand miles from the beautiful bourgeois residences and other 19th century mansions in this classification.
Located away from the city center, in the Hangars district, this building, which looks like a white, glazed iceberg, seems to appear out of nowhere... and yet!
This external coldness fortunately does not apply to its 44 rooms, bright and resolutely urban, with the floor covered with a carpet whose print gives the feeling of walking on the ocean – or in weightlessness.
On the 4th floor, sports enthusiasts will find something to satisfy their wanderlust with a fairly well-equipped fitness center, while others can enjoy a cocktail at the bar.
The room to book:
n°504, with a balcony and a breathtaking view of the Chaban Delmas bridge and the waves of the Garonne.
The price:
from €110 per night in an Urban Chic double room.

Mama Shelter, a safe bet
Passing travelers come to Mama Shelter for the good value.
Mama /Photopress
We no longer need to introduce the famous brand of boutique hotels launched by Serge and Jérémie Trigano, which opened in 2013 a slightly more upscale address than the previous ones, namely in the city center, and decorated by Philippe Starck.
As soon as you enter the lobby, however, you will find the joyful organized disorder that makes the charm of the concept: designer furniture, graffiti on the ceiling, raw concrete, boosted restaurant... In the rooms, a pale pink color code a bit sickening, offset by soft lights, snow-white bathrooms, bedding worthy of a 5-star hotel and the temptation to lock yourself away for hours to enjoy the hundreds of films offered by Mama.
The room to book:
the 371 category Mama de Luxe, as marshmallow and minimalist as the others, but equipped with a large bay window open on the roofs of the city.
The price:
from €89 per night in a Small Mama Double room.
Mama Shelter, 19, rue Poquelin-Molière, 33000 Bordeaux.

Hotel Konti, for the neo Art Deco style
A chic & arty address in the Golden Triangle, the Hotel Konti is discovered and experienced as a guest house with a unique style.
Press picture
In the early 1910s, the place housed the Auberge du Coq d'Or, a beautiful brasserie whose Konti has kept the period architecture of the ground floor room, surmounted by a ballroom.
The whole has retained a very Art Deco style: ocher and golden hues, stained glass windows, high ceilings, wallpaper with geometric patterns, dark green velvet armchairs... And on the ground floor, a correspondence room with a false air of boudoir , where to have a coffee while imagining yourself as a dandy from the Roaring Twenties.
A retro-vintage bias that doesn't rule out living with the times: all stages of the stay, from booking to check out, can be done directly from your smartphone.
The room to book:
no room particularly stands out in this 4-star hotel, but if you break the bank, you can treat yourself to the Sky suite, with its panoramic terrace and a 360° view of the city.
You can also book a day room.
The price:
from €83 per night in a Cozy double room.

Overlooking the Port de la Lune, the two silos housing the entrance to the hotel have nothing to envy to the breathtaking panorama of the Gina restaurant located on the roof terrace, as does the indoor swimming pool.
