“Boutique and quirky come together under one roof in this white ice-cube shaped design hotel. The rooms are more like sky-lit cocoons with their white-washed walls and surround-windows. It also has a trendy bar and slick meeting facilities, though there is no restaurant, the area teams with them.”

Hotel review

With 18th-century buildings lining Bordeaux’s waterfront, you may be surprised to come across a four-star design hotel disguised as a chunk of ice. Cool in more ways than one, the name ‘seeko’o’ translates as ‘iceberg’ in Inuit. A striking contrast, but it fits in surprisingly well in this historical city. The boutique hotel has 45 suites – modern and quirky – with mood lighting, flat-screen TVs and designer furniture. The environment is at the forefront of the hotel’s ethos and you’ll find organic products in the bathroom as well as on the breakfast table. There are also secure car park, business facilities, Wi-Fi, great cocktails and spa, complete with steam room, sauna and massage chair.

Seeko'o Hotel

"A stay in the Seeko'o is a must for fans of futuristic architecture. This luxurious avant-garde icon is right at home in Bordeaux's design quarter, the Bacalan, which is bristling with the beacons of the city's recent building frenzy."
