Hôtel La Cour Carrée

Top choice in Bordeaux


Tucked in an 18th-century house on a quiet side street with little passing traffic, this design-driven boutique hotel oozes natural style and peace. Soft, muted colours and contemporary Scandinavian furnishings complement ancient gold-stone walls in its 16 elegant rooms, and the pièce de résistance is the interior courtyard – a much-appreciated alfresco lounge in summer. Breakfast/parking €12/13.

Connecting doubles make it a great spot for families.
