HOTEL MADAME, Bordeaux

The Museum of Aquitaine and Bordeaux Cathedral are both less than 1 km away, as are Esplanade des Quinconces and Place de la Bourse.

Tram and bus connections from the hotel provide access to La Cité du Vin and the wider city. Numerous restaurants, cafes, and shops are within a short walk on the surrounding streets.

Standard rooms are compact but functional, well-suited for short stays and travellers who plan to spend most of their time out exploring. For more space and natural light, book a corner room (e.g. room 32) which offers views of the square and afternoon sun. The top floor includes a one room with a balcony plus two standard rooms - mention this preference when booking. The Madame Queen Deluxe category features two large windows. Rooms in the attic extension (floor 4) have low ceilings and sloping walls; the main building rooms are generally more comfortable. Several rooms overlook an interior light well where restaurant extractor fans operate from early morning until late evening - requesting a street-facing room is advisable for lighter sleepers.
