BORDEAUX, AN EVER-EVOLVING DESTINATION!
A hotel offering in continuous evolution, with ever-stronger commitments.
Bordeaux continues to evolve and expand its MICE offering, with new openings, extensions, and renovations strengthening its appeal to business travelers.
The Hampton by Hilton Bordeaux Mérignac, which opened in February 2026, is a 4-star hotel located just 4 minutes from the airport with a free shuttle service and 30 minutes from the city center. It offers 160 rooms, including 11 long-stay units with kitchenettes, a fitness room, a cocktail bar, an Italian restaurant (Antipasto), and three meeting rooms with natural daylight.
For those seeking a more intimate venue, Le Saint-James – Relais & Châteaux, a 5-star hotel, will reopen in May 2026 following a complete renovation. Located 15 minutes from Bordeaux, it will feature 16 rooms and suites overlooking the Garonne Valley. Two restaurants, a seminar room, and a privatizable cooking school complete the property’s event offering.
Eklo Bordeaux now offers 200 rooms while maintaining its friendly atmosphere and strong commitment to sustainability, making it ideal for business travelers. The hotel features bright meeting rooms that can accommodate up to 75 people. On the dining side, the fully privatizable French Kiss restaurant can host up to 130 guests and serves seasonal, homemade French cuisine paired with signature cocktails. It’s a lively and elegant venue, perfect for business meals, professional events, and corporate evenings in the heart of Bordeaux.
Since late 2025, Bordeaux’s public transport network has also expanded.
The river shuttle line LE BATO 3 now serves the Belvédère pier.
Two new tram lines, E and F, make travel easier with more direct routes between the right bank and the city center, as well as a direct connection between the train station and the airport.
A new express bus line, H, connects both banks and intersects with tram lines.
With these new venues, Bordeaux continues to offer spaces designed to inspire and bring people together, tailored to the needs of both organizers and participants. Combined with enhanced transport infrastructure, the city reaffirms its commitment to smooth, sustainable, and environmentally friendly mobility, making it easier for everyone to get around.
Why was the hotel charter created?
As part of their ongoing commitment to quality hospitality, Bordeaux's hoteliers have joined forces with Bordeaux Tourisme & Congrès to host major professional events, by signing a charter of hotel commitments.
Bordeaux Tourisme, through its Convention Bureau (BCB) and the Club Hôtelier Bordeaux Métropole (CHBM), co-signatories of the charter representing the collective of member hoteliers, to date 100 hotels and hotel residences of all categories, representing over 7,500 rooms.
What are the main issues involved?
The Hotel Charter applies exclusively to “rotating” professional events of over 500 overnight stays on at least one night, involving reservations at several hotels and organized by non-profit organizers (learned societies, federations, professional associations, etc.) or private-sector companies.
Its objectives are to formalize an attractive location policy for major professional events, provide end customers with a coherent, consolidated offer to facilitate their access to the destination, and guarantee a long-term portfolio of events.
The signing of this charter seals the shared determination of hoteliers, the CHBM and Bordeaux Tourisme & Congrès to welcome even more large-scale national and international events to Bordeaux in the best possible conditions.
