My 19-night stay at Le Boutique Hotel was a wonderful experience. The team was really top notch, and the hotel itself and the location were great too. The Amazing Team Thanks to the fantastic team of receptionists and concierges, led by Domenico, my time at Le Boutique Hotel was really special. Throughout my stay, everyone was so welcoming, helpful, gracious, and professional. After making my reservation, I reached out to Paul, the hotel’s wonderful concierge, to ask his advice about numerous day trips and wine tours I was interested in. I explained that I was going to spend a few weeks in Bordeaux to explore the region and study French at a local school. He wrote back with an extremely helpful summary of some wine-related excursion options and suggestions for visits to various towns and regions, including one to the Perigord Noir with a private guide, which turned out to be excellent!. Once I was staying at the hotel, what impressed me the most was the care and effort he put into organizing a given excursion, thinking through various options to find one that would best meet my objectives and interests. In addition to Paul, the entire group of receptionists and concierges working at the front desk were excellent. They were all so focused on making my stay the best it could be, with great suggestions for restaurants and interesting activities in Bordeaux, as well as really helpful insights into the highlights of some of the cities I was planning to visit. It was a true pleasure to talk with them at the start and end of my activity-filled days. In addition, the folks working in the restaurant/bar were wonderful too. They were very considerate and accommodating and a pleasure to talk with. I feel very fortunate to have stayed at LBH and to have gotten to know the members of their superlative team. Thanks to each team member, my two and a half week stay in beautiful Bordeaux was much richer than it otherwise would have been. The Lovely Hotel Itself Excellent location: a short walk to tram lines, including one line that goes directly to the train station; easy walk to lots of interesting sites and neighborhoods; lots of good restaurants within a three to 10 minute walk. Lovely breakfast: very nice mix of warm and cold buffet choices, including eggs, potatoes, smoked fish, fresh fruit, fruit salad, breads, and various delicious home-made baked goods; the hosts and all of the waitstaff were very friendly and helpful. Comfortable room: very comfortable and spacious interior-courtyard-facing room with lots of light; fresh bottles of water and delicious cannelés every day; very good housekeeping and turndown service.
