Hôtel des Quinconces

Hôtel des Quinconces is a hotel on the Cours du Maréchal Foch in central Bordeaux, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France, a short walk from Place des Quinconces and the Allées de Tourny. Place des Quinconces is one of the largest public squares in Europe, laid out in the 19th century beside the Garonne and dominated by the Monument aux Girondins, and the Cours du Maréchal Foch is one of the formal avenues that radiate from the Triangle d'Or. From the hotel, the Grand Théâtre is about five to ten minutes on foot, the Garonne quays are close, and the Jardin Public and the Allées de Tourny can be reached in a few minutes. Tram stops at Quinconces give direct connections to Gare Saint-Jean and Chartrons. Rooms are listed as Single and Double categories, suiting solo travellers and couples, and free wifi is available. No restaurant, spa or pool is listed, so guests normally eat at the cafés and brasseries around the Quinconces and the Triangle d'Or, where regional cooking, oysters, canelés and local wines are widely available. Published rates run from about EUR 75 to EUR 160 per night, a mid-range figure that rises at weekends and during summer and wine-trade events. The service character is that of a modest city-centre hotel with a staffed reception for luggage storage, directions and restaurant suggestions, aimed at leisure visitors on short stays and business guests visiting the city. The square hosts fairs, markets and seasonal events through the year, which can add atmosphere but also noise, so light sleepers may wish to request a room away from the road. Guests who want a lift, air conditioning or breakfast service should confirm these with the hotel directly.
