This is Bordeaux’s founding hotel, designed by Victor Louis, the same architect behind the adjacent Grand Théâtre, and open for more than two centuries. Behind its monumental façade lie 130 rooms furnished in a 19th-century style by Jacques Garcia, a 1,000 m² Guerlain spa, and three dining venues, including Le Pressoir d’Argent Gordon Ramsay, which presents its signature blue lobster in a Christofle silver press, one of only five in existence. In summer, the 360° rooftop becomes the unmissable address in Bordeaux. An institution without equal.
