Hôtel des Quinconces In the heart of Bordeaux
Mere steps from the famous Place des Quinconces, a 19th-century Bordeaux mansion that has been transformed into a luxury hotel in Bordeaux.
Today a home for the heart & the mind.
Built in 1834 for a Bordeaux merchant, it later served as the British and then the American consulate.
The House welcomed the world without ever exposing it: merchants, diplomats, travellers, artists. Today it continues this tradition between Bordeaux and the international scene, between heritage and modernity, between spirit and heart. Two centuries of history and a common thread: the art of hospitality. Just nine rooms, a cosy lounge-bar, a private garden and always that delicate attention to detail that defines these great establishments.
"A period house for people of their time."
An exceptional location from which to explore the city. From the Hôtel des Quinconces, Bordeaux is best discovered on foot.
The majestic Place de la Bourse and its reflecting pool,, the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux, the quays de la Garonne and the elegant streets of the Triangle d’Or, where Bordeaux has always cultivated its art of living. Just a stone’s throw away, the CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art reminds us how much the city loves to engage with creativity. Further afield, the Cité du Vin celebrates the history of the great vineyards, whilst Darwin, on the right bank, reveals a freer and more creative side to Bordeaux.
"Bordeaux begins on your doorstep; simply open the door and the city will tell you its story."
At the Hôtel des Quinconces, you don’t simply walk through a hotel door. You step into a home, delicate and welcoming.
The ooms and suites offer the peace and comfort of a sanctuary. The lounge-bar invites conversation and cultural exchange. The Maison also shares its insider tips on Bordeaux, thanks to an attentive and personal concierge service. Perhaps the essence lies elsewhere: that feeling of leaving a little better off than when you arrived.
"Here, luxury is not in what one possesses, mbut in the care one shows oneself."
