Le Palais Gallien Hôtel & Spa

Set in a 19th century townhouse in the heart of Bordeaux, Le Palais Gallien is a five-star hotel named in homage to the ruins of the Roman amphitheatre, which lie a few metres away.

This intimate hotel reflects the city’s heritage while offering high-end facilities, contemporary design and exquisite service for a thoroughly relaxing stay in France’s city of wine.

The 27 rooms and suites range from boutique 25m2 rooms with walk-in showers to palatial 60m2 suites with freestanding bathtubs and private terraces equipped with Jacuzzis. Rooms are individually designed, blending contemporary design with vintage chic to cocoon visitors in a haven of relaxation and luxury.

Overseen by chef Younesse Bouakkaoui, La Table de Montaigne is a gastronomic delight serving creative interpretations of French classics based on local, seasonal produce. There’s also a stylish bar where guests can sample creative cocktails or choose from an impressive selection of wines and spirits.

Soak up some rays on the rooftop terrace, relax around the outdoor pool in the garden, or head to the spa for some indulgent pampering.
