Expert reviews
“La Course townhouse is on a quiet street just steps from the green Jardin Public and the C tram that goes south to the Gare St. Jean. It’s a fine base for exploring boutiques and bars. There are bicycles, a small gym and steam room, and a wine cellar where tastings can be arranged.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Bordeaux.
“Right opposite the Jardin Public park, this beautifully appointed luxury chambre d’hotes offers a friendly reception, a wine tasting cellar, and easy access to the shops of Chartrons. If you want to “push the boat out,” the “Under the Stars” suite has a glass roof and private terrace with a small pool.”
“La Course is a Maison d’Hôtes de Luxe. That translates as a former family home flipped into a spellbindingly luxurious B&B. Grab a bottle of Bordeaux from the cellar, steal a platter of snacks from the fridge, then snuggle up in front of the log fire.”

Feeling at home in Bordeaux
It was a beautiful stay. I wish we could have stayed longer. The communication was awesome the transfer from the airport was very smooth, the team at La Course really go out of their way to cater to your needs. The apartment we stayed in was stunning to say the least. Clean, spacious and the bath was a massive highlight. I'm not one for baths but the enormity of it, you just had to take the plunge! Breakfast delivered to the room and of a high quality. You cannot fault this place it really is amazing!! We will be back.
Nothing at all to report here!

Cozy, welcoming, and absolutely unique and fun experience in the heart of Bordeaux
The entire team was so welcoming and caring. The living room and outdoor area was beautiful. They helped book restaurants, tours and gave recommendations for where to go. The breakfast is delicious, homemade, and we even had a chance to eat it on the rooftop terrace! The room itself was glamourous (we had the rooftop suite, and only thing to note is the shower is outside, which is kind of cool). Having the room to see the stars made it feel so cozy! Location was 10-15 minute walk from city center.
No elevator, so older guests may have trouble up stairs. Rooftop suite has to go through outdoors to get to room (when it rained, that was a consideration)

Definitely return such a beautiful Hotel
Beautiful Hotel, so friendly & welcoming. Lovely touches like helping yourself to drinks & snacks. Personal service
We had a room at the front which was large and tastefully decorated. A little noisy with bikes & cars but only to be expected so close to the centre.

Beautiful experience
Beautifully decorated and charming hotel nested in the middle of Bordeaux. Amazing service and so many extras which makes one’s stay special. For example, we loved using the bicycle for an evening tour in the city. We came last year and will come back next year.

Excellent value, stylish townhouse
We loved the town-house feel of being close to the centre of the city whilst in a quiet residential area. The decoration and ambiance of the public areas is fantastic, and everything is so well thought out - from the bicycles which could be borrowed, to the honesty-box kitchen (snacks and drinks) and the beautiful cellar. The breakfast, which we ate in the tiny courtyard, was made to order and was delicious.

The best home away from home in Bordeaux!!!
Such a beautiful charming building and home to stay in Bordeaux. This was our second visit to Bordeaux and to Maison La Course and it was wonderful once again and we will return to stay here every time! All the staff are amazing and make this residence fantastic and allow you to enjoy the home and all of its special attributes. Special thanks to you all!!! Breakfast was amazing and made to order and served in the lovely dining room. Located close to the beautiful gardens, playground and carousel for our young daughter to enjoy. close walk to the lovely Chartrons where we enjoyed the beautiful bistro’s and shopping. We walked by foot to all the key landmarks but also close to tram if you prefer not to walk. Highly recommend the Uriel suite and this home away from home in Bordeaux!!!!
Absolutely nothing - loved everything!!!!
