Hôtel Renaissance Bordeaux ★★★★

Welcome to four-star luxury in Bordeaux with a complimentary cocktail when you set your bags down at Hôtel Renaissance Bordeaux. Situated in the trendy district of “The Old Docks”, a stone’s throw form the river front and top attractions, such as the “Cite du Vin” and “Bassins des Lumieres”, discover Bordeaux and it’s unique, vibrant culture all from your cosy, very chic abode.

Bask at the magnificent city views from the rooftop, sip a distinctive cocktail made by one of the bubby bar tenders and indulge in exquisite Italian cuisine at restaurant Gina. Watch the boats come in along the river from pristine white cosy lounge chairs on the wooden decking of the bar and feel the cool breeze of Bordeaux air. Splashed with bright shades of green and royal blue hues, mixed with delicate golden coloured tables, Gina Caffe is a lovely, comfy and contemporary pit stop throughout the day for a revitalizing coffee or snack.

The bedrooms at Hôtel Renaissance are colourful, cosy and plush, with oversized windows to give the room a luminous flair, also allowing you to enjoy far-reaching views of your surroundings. Beautiful velvet and soft cushions are propped over the bed, long wine tinted curtains draped over the floor of our La Muse room, a gently painted, gold speckled mural lit up just above the headboard. Fully equipped with a comfortable seating area, makeup mirror and coffee machine, we luxuriated in all our available modern comforts.

From your trendy residence, you have much to see and nothing is too far away, like the Halles de Bacalan, a fresh food market, featuring an exquisite collection of gourmet food and drinks, or the Bassins des Lumieres art centre in a former WWII submarine base. The hotel staff are very insightful and helpful at organizing tours, ask at reception about gourmet tours and visiting vineyards, and guided boat tours on the Garonne River. A stay at Hôtel Renaissance Bordeaux will most definitely be one to remember!
