Le Boutique Hôtel Bordeaux

This well-located hotel, right on the doorstep of the Golden Triangle of chic shops, has small but high-design  rooms named after local châteaux. Once a 17th century mansion (note the handsome neo-Renaissance façade), the building’s rough stone walls and parquet floors contrast nicely with furnishings by Philippe Starck, Kartell and Eichholtz. Many rooms have peek-a-boo bathrooms (you’ll see into the shower), so keep that in mind when booking. The inner courtyard garden/wine bar gets fairly busy with locals in the summer months. Parking is available at an underground public car park around the corner.
