Mondrian Bordeaux Les Carmes
Mondrian Bordeaux Les Carmes is a hotel housed in a 19th-century wine cellar building in central Bordeaux. The structure retains its original stone columns and iron gates while offering 97 rooms and suites with modern amenities, including a restaurant by chef Masaharu Morimoto, a spa, a heated swimming pool, and event spaces.
The building originally housed Calvet, a famous wine cellar that defined Bordeaux's history as a wine trading hub. It was transformed into a hotel under designer Philippe Starck's direction, preserving historic elements like stone columns and iron gates while adding modern amenities.
The hotel sits in the Chartrons district, a neighborhood deeply tied to Bordeaux's wine heritage. Walking around the area, you notice cafes, small shops, and historic buildings that reflect the district's past as a center of wine commerce and trade.
The hotel is centrally located and easily walkable to local sights, cafes, and shops. Guests can use public transport, taxis, and parking to explore the city or reach the train station from nearby.
Morimoto Bordeaux restaurant is chef Masaharu Morimoto's first location in Europe, blending Japanese techniques with French ingredients in an unexpected culinary fusion. The hotel bar is designed as an Izakaya-style Japanese bistro, serving sake, French wines, and international cocktails in a setting that combines Eastern and Western influences.
