InterContinental Bordeaux - Le Grand Hotel
Elegant 18th-century abode



Sited in the heart of the city, fringing the upper-crust retail area and opposite the Bordeaux Opera House, here lavish rooms and suites cosset in a style evocative of the building’s 1860s origin – with some affording guests Place de la Comédie and Opera house overlooks. A bevy of supreme dining and lounging spots such as the English country estate-styled The Bar, seasonal rooftop Night Beach (with 360-degree city views) and Michelin-starred restaurant Le Pressoir d’Argent give space to unwind, while ultimate relaxations can be had at the hotel’s 1000 sq m spa – a Jacques Garcia styled oasis inspired by Roman baths.
