Expert reviews
“Festooned in luxury fabrics and 18th-century furnishings, this posh extravaganza, designed by France’s überchic Jacque Garcia, put Bordeaux back on the world scene with its veritable army of restaurants and bars, along with a swanky Roman bath–inspired spa—all just steps from the city’s Golden Triangle shopping district.”
“After decades of neglect, the majestic Grand Hôtel was reborn in 2007, with an exquisite interior makeover by decor-maestro Jacques Garcia. Taking inspiration from its neighbor the Grand Théâtre, the lush decoration hints at 19th century theater trimmings, and the unusual color schemes gracefully blend the old and the new.”
“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.”
“The Grand has been a Bordelais institution since the 1920s, when it expanded to its current dimensions. Today all of Bordeaux life rotates around this lavish neoclassical monument, dripping with history. A stay here is an unusually decadent and must-have experience.”

Great location, service, food!
The room was excellent for our family of 5, we were very pleased with it.
The overall feeling inside the hotel is of it being outdated, like if a renovation is due.

They should have notified us of the bollard entrance. I ended up damaging the rental car, but the concierge was very helpful in assisting me.

Excellent stay- very comfortable, front desk, concierge and bellmen were very friendly, helpful and responsive.
Clean and seemed well-decorated. The staff and food were the highlights!
The rooftop bar had very slow service- they seemed understaffed.

The staff in all areas of the hotel were excellent and made it a wonderful stay and the location is perfect even though we were a bit disappointed with the overall facilities and the rooms, we felt that they were quite dated and in need of modernisation and upgrading to meet the expectation that they create and we expected.

The perfect place to stay for a trip to Bordeaux.
This is a first rate hotel with all the facilities you would want, including a great rooftop bar and restaurant. The staff were exceptional and very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The location is perfect and close to shops, restaurants , tram stops as well as being centrally located to access all of the delights of Bordeaux.
Liked everything about this hotel. Only one small issue, our room had a toilet separate to the bathroom ( which we liked) but there was no sink in it for washing hands.

In the heart of Bordeaux.
The hotel was centrally located, exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated. The staff was friendly and provided great customer service. We especially loved the terrace attached to our room. All in perfect place.

This would be our first pick if we returned to Bordeaux.
The staff there were excellent. We were very well looked after. You can't really get a better location. It is right in the middle of everything.

Location and breakfast excellent. Should have asked for room with view on the Opera.
No view from our room.
The view and the price.

Beautiful hotel in a central location
The staff, location, cleanliness, professionalism all 10/10.
Shower in the bathtub and uncomfortable lounge was the only downside to an otherwise excellent experience.

Cocktails were limited and poorly mixed on the roof top bar with limited choice of beers.

Great location. Right in the heart of the city.
Need vents in the bathroom and the toilet. It gets hot in the toilet and the bathroom also has no ventilation/air flow so it’s dripping with water after a shower or bath. It’s not ideal.

Great location to exlpore the stunning Bordeaux centre.
Superb location and excellent hotel. the concierge team were so so helpful and the rooms are beautiful. Opposite the opera house you can be better placed to explore the stunning Bordeaux.
There was a little mix up on reception which was soon sorted, personally I would not expect plastic flowers in reception of a five star hotel ( I was at the Corinthian London the week before and their fresh flowers would put these to shame). On a Sunday the hotel pool does not open until after 9am which is disappointing. On arrival the entry to the car parking is tricky to work out and compared to some other hotels we stayed they sent in advance very explicit instructions which they may wish to consider. That said, the front house team were very helpful in sorting once we had arrived.

ok. but not worth the money!
nice expensive hotel
Paid extra to get a balcony. Big mistake. Very poorly designed and not easy to use. Do not recommend.
The quality of some of the food is teribble

Excellent staff and location
The location was excellent. Convenient to sites, shopping and transit
The room furniture was in need of updating. Chairs need to be reupholstered. The view of our Premium room was to an alley and the windows could not be opened.
