In a prime spot right on Bordeaux’s central square Place de la Comedie surrounded by galleries, shops and restaurants, this is the grand dame of this beautiful city, mirroring the elegant facade of the Opera House across the square. There’s a spa by Guerlain, a 2-Michelin starred restaurant by Gordon Ramsay, and the rooftop bar is perfect for a sundowner overlooking the city. (Renovated: 2014; Rooms: 130)
