What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Inside, 89 contemporary rooms are filled with natural light, some looking out across the Garonne, others angled toward the changing skyline.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The MÉCA contemporary arts center stands directly opposite, surrounded by former warehouses finding new life along the river.
The rooms
Riverfront rooms look straight out across the Garonne. Others face inward toward a quiet courtyard or the skyline.
Restaurant
RIVAMOUR
Seasonal bistronomic plates draw on South-West produce, served at brass-trimmed tables that open onto the terrace.
At the table
Guests order regional Bordeaux wines at the ribbed bar counter, or share small plates along striped terrace banquettes.
