The Hôtel de Sèze occupies a handsome stone building at the corner of the Allées de Tourny and the Rue de Sèze, in the most elegant part of the city centre. It is a small, polished four-star hotel with 55 rooms, including three suites, which makes it feel personal rather than corporate, and its interiors are calm and contemporary. A spa is a rare bonus for a hotel of this size: guests can unwind in the jacuzzi, hammam and sauna after a long day in the vineyards, and treatments can be booked. On the ground floor, Le Comptoir de Sèze serves a relaxed menu, and the bar is a pleasant place for a glass of Bordeaux before dinner. The location is hard to beat: the Grand Théâtre, the Esplanade des Quinconces and the tourist office, where the wine tours leave, are all a few minutes away on foot, and the Chartrons begin just to the north.
Location and getting around: the hotel is at 23 Allées de Tourny, on the broad tree-lined avenue that runs from the Grand Théâtre towards the Jardin Public. Shopping streets surround it, the river is a ten-minute walk east, and the Quinconces tram hub nearby links you to Saint-Jean station, the Chartrons and La Cité du Vin. It is also an easy walk to the start point of the Saint-Émilion and Médoc day tours.
Rooms: rooms are decorated in a calm contemporary style. They vary in size, so it is worth paying a little more for a superior room or one of the three suites if space matters. Rooms on the avenue have the best outlook, while those at the back are quieter.
Who it suits: couples on a city break, wine travellers who want a central, stylish base, and anyone who likes the idea of a spa without paying palace prices.
Good to know: breakfast is generally charged separately unless included in your rate. The spa facilities may need booking at busy times. Parking is not on site, so use one of the public garages in the area and ask the hotel for the closest option.
