The fa\u00e7ade of the Hotel Burdigala<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Six months after opening, the Burdigala has become the centre of attention in Bordeaux. There were early signs of this hotel\u2019s success, and now it\u2019s near impossible to get a table without a reservation at Madame B, the hotel\u2019s restaurant, and \u00c9milie Depierrois \u2013 the hotel manager \u2013 is overjoyed. In her eyes, this is proof that credit is given where credit is due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burdigala, a rare find<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The foyer of Hotel Burdigala<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From a diamond in the rough to a paragon. Set against the backdrop of the drab concrete buildings, characteristic of the M\u00e9riadeck neighbourhood, and not exactly in the city centre, the Burdigala wasn\u2019t exactly set for success. In a city like Bordeaux, where most of the sights are walking distance from each other, the Burdigala is a twenty-minute walk from the Cit\u00e9 du Vin (the museum of wine and cultural centre), the quays of the river Garonne, the reflecting pool, the Saint-Andr\u00e9 Cathedral, the Opera house, or the rue Sainte-Catherine \u2013 the pedestrian street lined with fantastic shops. Even the name was a quirky choice: Burdigala, who would have guessed that it was the original name given by the Romans to the city that would one day become the wine capital of the world. However, after two years of construction, and a couple million euros later, the Burdigala has reached a standing that other establishments in the city only dream of. A bold vision, shrewdness and intuition has propelled this contemporary hotel to the very top, becoming Bordeaux\u2019s new \u201cit\u201d place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Striking beauty<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The building\u2019s five-storey fa\u00e7ade is the first clue as to where the centre of Hotel Burdigala\u2019s charm resides. With no terrasses or balconies for the 83 rooms, the Burdigala\u2019s true beauty is on the inside. As you enter the establishment, you will be struck by its prodigious elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Trendy and delightful<\/strong>ly comfortable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The spacious atrium houses a tiny reception desk, a massive bar adjoins the cozy lounge, sprinkled with snug niches \u2013 perfect for whispering secrets to each other \u2013 slim tables ideal for intimate co-working, and a glorious winding staircase is just the icing of the cake. Absolutely enticing. The colour pallet plays a major role in creating a sense of calm: amber, creme, tobacco brown, anise green, and chocolate. Bravo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Elegant yet homey<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rooms and suites (there even some duplexes) of the hotel also evoke a sense of serenity. The bedding is extremely comfortable \u2013 after all, a hotel\u2019s primary purpose is providing rest \u2013 the rooms boast a dapper interior design, the decoration is conscientiously arranged with each painting and ornament being neatly placed, there are plenty of placed to plug in your phone or laptop, and the heavy curtains tie the space together. \u00c9milie Depierrois \u2013 always dedicated to her work \u2013 holds that one should \u2018feel at home here<\/em>\u2019 and she certainly has made this a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spirit which animates the hotel Burdigala, and I\u2019m convinced that it exists, is a blend of warmth and friendliness, isn\u2019t complete without its restaurant, Madame B. In just a couple of months it has become Bordeaux\u2019s most sought-after gourmet scene, and their menu is unique and the dishes bursting with intense flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Chef Gr\u00e9gory Vingadassalon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The menu is organised around two concepts: simplicity and creativity, with the number four as its guiding principle. Four entr\u00e9es, four main dishes, and four deserts. Chef Gr\u00e9gory Vingadassalon masters the art of gastronomy, and always surprises us with the ingredients he brings back from the market. This goes without says since he was a disciple of the revered French Chef Alain Ducasse and worked at the Hotel Toiras, a 5-star hotel on the Ile de R\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to Madame B.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Reservations are crucial if you want to be one of the forty people who have the privilege of savouring the trout filet with salsify, the cod-avocado fusion, or the gianduja ice cream with apple and celery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Des trouvailles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, let us take a moment to commend the Burdigala for breathing new life into the art of hospitality with its innovations. On the ground floor, there is a haven for bookworms. A felted atmosphere with deep armchairs, perfect for intimate conversations about love, or perhaps it\u2019s a place to regain your poise before a tense contract signature. There\u2019s also a game room where gamers can compete for the best score, complete with controllers and massive screens. Whatever your style, the Burdigala will provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A private cinema<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our last stop is through the door at the end of the atrium. As you press down on the handle, let you imagination overflow. Could it be a resurrected speakeasy, a VIP lounge for cognac lovers, a cabinet of curiosities full of exotic, never-before-seen relics? Well, you would be right on all counts, since the door opens on the suite-exclusive private cinema, where disbelief is suspended for a moment\u2019s time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your favourite television program or DVD on the colossal screen. Choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c9milie Depierrois relishes the idea of organizing wine-tasting events \u2013 we are in the heart of wine country! \u2013 as well as product launches, film previews, and replays of sports events in this singular space. A chic ambiance in a refined establishment whose mission is to bring people together, look no further if ever you visit Bordeaux! Burdigala\u2019s five stars will guide the way.<\/p>\n\n\n
