2-5 Place de la Comédie, Bordeaux, Aquitaine, France

If you were measuring strictly by the number of quality hotels, you might conclude that the city of Bordeaux is little more than a backwater. For a city of a million, it’s a bit short on noteworthy hospitality experiences — which is why the re-opening of the city-center Grand Hôtel, just across from the Grand Théâtre, is such a big deal. This 18th-century grande dame is back in fighting trim, after a redesign at the hands of the well-known Parisian interior designer Jacques Garcia.
Garcia’s theatrical, historically conscious style is a good fit for a place like the Grand, which mixes modern elegance with classic decadence in generous helpings. The bedrooms are decidedly old-fashioned in style, but with an edge of contemporary glamour that makes them a lot more appealing than the garden-variety French antique hotel room.
In typical grand hotel style the Grand features a fine dining restaurant, a separate brasserie, and a cocktail bar, this last named the Victor Bar, after two Victors: Victor Hugo, the writer, and Victor Louis, the architect responsible for Bordeaux’s Grand Théâtre. And with the opening of the hotel’s spa, the Grand Hôtel is once again Bordeaux’s de facto luxury hotel standard.

What I liked:
Location was perfect - and the roof top bar was spectacular. Reception and concierge service was excellent.
What the hotel could do better:
The decoration/style of the rooms was not really to my taste (I found it quite dark and formal), but I suppose that it suits the style of the hotel...
