The Mondrian arrives in Bordeaux with its Californian design and its rooftop for cocktails, facing the quais.
Mondrian Bordeaux Les Carmes
From
358 €
“Rooftop pool with views over the Garonne and Bordeaux rooftops, open all year round.”
The Mondrian Bordeaux Les Carmes occupies a contemporary building on cours du Médoc, a stone's throw from the pont de pierre. We find the Californian signature of the brand: open volumes, mid-century furniture, earth and midnight blue palette. The rooms play on the contrast of light wood and brushed brass, with large bay windows framing the city. The rooftop houses a heated pool and a cocktail bar that runs until midnight in season. The spa offers hammam and treatment cabins, from 358 € a night. We appreciate the effort on materials, even if soundproofing remains perfectible on the cours side. An address that brings a new breath to Bordeaux luxury ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the Mondrian to thirtysomethings and fortysomethings looking for a design statement without leaving central Bordeaux. It is an address for weekends with friends, couples who love rooftops and cocktails, business travellers wanting to step outside the classic chains. Families find their place thanks to the spacious rooms, yet the atmosphere remains resolutely adult after 19h.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The Mondrian occupies a new six-storey building, contemporary architecture in glass and raw concrete. Interiors signed by the brand's Californian studios: open volumes, 3.20 m ceiling height, mid-century furniture in walnut and brass. The lobby blends midnight blue velvet banquettes, Carrara marble coffee tables and blown-glass pendants. Rooms range from 28 to 55 m², all with bay windows and grey terrazzo bathrooms.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
The ground-floor restaurant offers a revisited Mediterranean menu, open midday and evening. The chef works with local produce, line-caught fish and vegetables from the Capucins market. The rooftop bar serves signature cocktails and small plates until midnight in high season. Continental breakfast is taken in the dining room or in the room, with pastries from boulangerie Seguin.
