It's in the heart of the worldwide capital of wine, opposite the majestic Grand Théâtre, that the mythical Palace Le Grand Hôtel from the start of last century, with its neoclassical façade dating back to 1776, reopened its doors at the end of 2007, as the luxury 4* Régent Grand Hôtel.
Covering 23 000 m2, the hotel is made up of 150 bedrooms and suites, a brasserie : Brasserie L'Europe, un gastronomic restaurant : Le Pressoir d'Argent, a bar : le Victor Bar, a winter garden : L'Orangerie, its Fashion Avenue unique in the luxury hotel industry: a gallery entirely dedicated to women's fashion with over 30 luxury brands, as well as a wine cellar, a private club : le Black Diamond, a spa : Les Bains de Léa, all three in the process of development. This luxurious complex is more a "Luxury Resort" than simply a hotel.
Staying at the Regent Grand Hôtel gives you the privilege of experiencing the height of luxury, and enjoying the unique gems entirely from its original era, such as the theatrically emphasized monumental staircase made of original Bordeaux stone, adorned with a ceiling light of red pleated paper lanterns, the Suite Royale and even the Salle de Marbre and its entirely original marble walls and 4 Baccarat chandaliers.
But from entering the Suite Royale on the top floor, all you will see is beauty and harmony as the decoration was created by the famous Jacques Garcia in his signature style, the same man who designed the homes of celebrities from all over the world, as well as Palaces such as Le Fouquet' s in Paris, The Majestic Hotel in Cannes, The Steve Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, and even The Hotel Victor on South Beach.
A combination of marble, Bordeaux stone, plum, mauve and deep red coloured fabric, 18th century inspired furnishings, floral decoration for the communal areas, as well as a crystal Baccarat chandalier dating back to 1904 and taken from the original hotel, creates an outstanding finished product.Draped curtains, pleated lampshades and filtered lights in the hallways result in an almost theatrical decoration while the bedrooms and suites instead evoke an image either of an 18th century bourgeois apartment or a theatre dressing room depending on the choice of materials, colours and layout of the room. With marble bathrooms, mahogany furnishings, a subtle combination of colours and prints, Jacques Garcia creates harmony in all of his decoration.
The five Prestige Suites as well as the Suite Royale are each decorated with their own unique stamp, where eras and styles blend to create a bold yet harmonious partnership. For example, an 18th century chest of drawers and contemporary Napoleon III style armchairs with a high-performance Loewe television system unique to the world of the luxury hotel industry.In this Palace so worthy of its category, you have the incredible privilege of having two top names of gastronomy available to you : Le Pressoir d'Argent and the Brasserie de l'Europe.
Meet for an aperitif in the intimate « lounge bar » surrounded by pink marble columns, before taking your seat at the restaurant « Le Pressoir d'Argent » which offers an incredible gastronomic seafood experience. At the « Brasserie l'Europe », decorated in the style of the « Belle Epoque » you can sample specialities from the region of Bordeaux in an original setting where the kitchen opens onto the dining area.
