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.”

A beautiful, magical weekend away! Beautiful property, wonderful staff in a stunning City!
From the second we walked through the door and greeted by the lovely Lucie, our entire weekend was a magical one. Lucie immediately made us feel welcome by giving us the tour of the Maison and told us to make ourselves at home, even offering some amazing restaurant recommendations for our evening meal (Moelleuses et Persilles - Incredible food, we actually went twice!) We were shown to our room (Uriel Suite) and we were blown away with how beautiful it was with the four posted bed and huge egg shaped bath, every day spotless when we came back. Each evening we arranged for breakfast to be delivered to our bedroom which was the most delicious selection of pastries, tea coffee, breads (with the options for meats eggs and cheese) - Such a luxurious treat to walk into our lounge and find breakfast waiting for us after a fabulous sleep. The location was perfect with everything within walking distance and Clothilde helped us arrange train tickets for a day out in Archachon. All in all, we came away feeling extremely rested, very looked after and 100% very well fed and watered after sampling all the food and wine from beautiful Bordeaux and the vineyards of St Emillion. Thank you again to La Course, we have already recommended you and really hope to visit again in the future. Merci! Xx
Wouldn't have changed a thing!

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.
