Hotel de Tourny

On a quiet street near the Golden Triangle, a short walk away from Bordeaux’s main sights, this friendly, unpretentious little hotel occupies a pair of 18th-century mansions.

The interior stylishly combines old stones and parquet floors with modern furnishings in white, grey and raw woods, as well as large pot plants and mirrors, for a minimalist, Scandi look.

Staff are approachable and helpful, and the affordable parking in a nearby garage makes this a great base for seeing the surrounding wine region as well as the city.
