What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Behind an unassuming façade in Bordeaux’s Gambetta district, Hôtel Singulier reveals a world of only eight rooms and suites, plus a private apartment.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The quiet streets of Gambetta sit right outside, and Saint-André Cathedral is a short walk away.
The rooms
Rear rooms look out on a living vertical garden that you can illuminate directly from bedside controls.
The spa
A jade-green mosaic whirlpool bath sits under a vaulted ceiling, and the treatment room uses Anne Semonin skincare.
At the table
The teak rooftop terrace looks toward the spires of Saint-André Cathedral, serving fresh breakfast pastries and evening tapas.
How it began
Before an eighteen-month conversion into a hotel, the eighteenth-century building housed an automotive repair garage.
