History
The InterContinental Bordeaux - Le Grand Hotel occupies a landmark neoclassical building on the Place de la Comedie, directly facing the Grand Theatre. The building was designed in the eighteenth century by architect Victor Louis - the same architect responsible for the Grand Theatre - and completed around 1776-1789 as an aristocratic residence; it is a listed Monument Historique.
The building first became a hotel in 1904 as the Hotel de Bordeaux. It later closed in 1990, before investor Michel Ohayon's group acquired and comprehensively restored it, with architect Michel Petuaud-Letang assembling several buildings and Jacques Garcia designing the opulent interiors. It reopened in 2007 as the Regent Grand Hotel Bordeaux, was renamed the Grand Hotel de Bordeaux & Spa in 2012, and joined InterContinental Hotels Group in 2015. Its restaurant Le Pressoir d'Argent, led by Gordon Ramsay, holds two Michelin stars, and the hotel offers around 130 rooms.
The setting
8-minute walk to la Cathédrale Saint André de Bordeaux.
