Despite Bordeaux being a fairly large city, almost all of the notable attractions are in the centre and within walking distance of each other. Therefore, so long as you find a Bordeaux hotel within the centre, you will be well placed for navigating the city efficiently and enjoying your stay with maximum convenience.
Choosing one of the Bordeaux hotels in the Saint-Jean quarter would be ideal for visitors arriving by train, or those who require public transport to explore the city, being located 300 metres from the main train station. The 3-star Hotel Ibis Saint-Jean can be found in this district, which will suit those who favour large chain hotels.
The Meriadeck quarter is slap bang in the middle of the city centre and ideal if you like to be in the heart of the action. Several good quality hotels can be found here, including the 3-star Best Western Grand Hôtel Français. This hotel in Bordeaux would be a good choice for those with their own transport, as there are two car parks located just 200 metres away.
Visitors who prefer smaller, intimate hotels will also find a number of family-run establishments in this part of Bordeaux.
Business travellers may want to look at Bordeaux accommodation in the Chartrons quarter which is close to many of the city’s convention centres and also home to several ‘business-friendly' hotels. High-end hotels in this district include Mercure Bordeaux Le lac and Libertel. Those looking for something cheaper may consider La Meridienne or Le Provençal.
If you have a late arrival or early flight out, you may want to make a Bordeaux hotel reservation close to Bordeaux-Merignac airport. A few minutes away from the airport you will find a large number of hotels, including Ibis Bordeaux Aeroport.
