“A 5-star hotel in the historic centre of Bordeaux. The rooms are grand and sleek with ornate touches; some have hot tubs on private terraces. There's a gourmet French restaurant, a swish cocktail bar, plus a luxe spa. A glamorous outdoor pool is the icing on the cake. A stunning city bolthole.”

The best hotels in Bordeaux
An outdoor swimming pool is a rare find in hotels within central Bordeaux, but at Le Palais Gallien its outdoor spaces, including a seasonal pool and garden and rooftop terrace, are not the only draw. Within the walls of this 19th-century private mansion, the hotel features 28 rooms – some with private terrace jacuzzis – a cocktail bar and restaurant serving traditional French cuisine, and a spa featuring an indoor pool, sauna, hammam and treatment rooms.
