Description Tastes Like Gold: Bordeaux

Situated in the Golden Triangle, Bordeaux’s most prestigious district, this apartment is a refined and peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. Inside, it’s all parquet floors, full-length windows and timeless neutral shades. Begin your mornings in the light-filled dining area with buttery croissants picked up from the nearby boulangerie before nursing a café au lait on the sumptuous leather sofa.

Spend afternoons ticking off the city’s most iconic locations – admire the masonry of the Cathédrale St-André, a Unesco World Heritage Site, just footsteps from your building. Visit the unique Miroir d'Eau and the ground-breaking La Cité du Vin, then stop for a bite to eat in a belle époque brasserie.

Head home in the evening to put together a cheese board in your fully-equipped kitchen and reflect on the day’s events over a bottle of the region’s wine in the sophisticated living area. When it’s time to call it a night, beds dressed in crisp white linens ensure a deep and restful slumber.
