So choose a centrally located hotel to stay in and you should have no trouble seeing the main sights.
There are numerous hotels set around the locality of the train station, though this is by no means the only place to stay.
If you’re looking for grandeur and luxury the city certainly has hotels to suit your tastes.
There are some great 5 star hotels including Grand Hotel de Bordeaux and Spa which is in the heart of the historic center, opposite the Grand Theatre.
This really is a magnificent hotel with all the features you would expect.
Close by is the 4 star rated Hotel de Seze, another good option for a centrally located hotel.
An other great hotel is Le Boutique Hotel Bordeaux, also in the city centre
