Hôtel Continental

Top choice in Bordeaux


Beautifully located in the chic, shop-laden Triangle d'Or, this enchanting three-star hotel languishes inside an 18th-century hôtel particulier (mansion) and first opened its doors as Hôtel du Coq d'Or in 1912. Today part of the sharp and savvy HappyCulture hotel group, its 51 rooms fuse contemporary design with vintage bohemian chic.

Guests can mingle over complimentary coffee in the stylish book-filled lounge or have a spin at table football in the lobby. Breakfast costs €10.
