Bordeaux, located on the left bank of the Garonne is an important port city, a university town, and an historical treasure. The old section of the city is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site with many interesting buildings. The city and surrounding area is also known internationally for its grapes and vineyards which provide the backbone of the economy and attract large numbers of tourists. As a result there are many Bordeaux hotels offering a range of accommodation options from upper end hotels to budget inns.

Some of the top hotels in Bordeaux include the luxury five star Regent Grand Hotel Bordeaux near the famous Le Grand Theatre, and the Hotel Burdigala Bordeaux just outside the historic city center and business district. The uniquely designed Seekoo Hotel is meant to represent an "iceberg" with white angled exterior walls and luxurious interior, making it a very distinct hotel in Bordeaux. All of these are good choices for visitors looking for a quality Bordeaux hotel.

Many of the city's most important attractions are found in the old city center and can be appreciated best by simply walking around and enjoying the architecture and atmosphere. Key sights include the Cathedral of St Andre with portions of the church built as far back as the 12th Century, Le Grand Theatre, home to the National Orchestra of Bordeaux and the Ballet National de Bordeaux, and the Saint Seurin Bascilica. The Marche de Noel is the famous Christmas market which runs from late November through to the holiday. Other enjoyable spots are the Place de la Bourse and the Pont de Pierre.

Staying at a hotel in the city center is the most convenient option although finding a hotel further out will likely be more economical. There are a variety of budget Bordeaux hotels to be found throughout the city including some of the regular chain hotels.
