Hôtel Frugès

The Hôtel Frugès is a residence in Bordeaux combining Art Nouveau and Art Deco elements throughout its facade and interior spaces. Decorative details appear on doors, windows, furnishings, and wall panels, creating a unified visual design.

The house was built between 1912 and 1927 by architect Pierre Ferret for industrialist Henry Frugès. Frugès intended it as a private collection space for early 20th-century decorative arts and design.

The mansion displays works by artists such as Edgar Brandt and René Lalique, whose creations shape the rooms and hallways. Visitors can see these pieces integrated into the decorative scheme throughout the building.

The building sits in a quiet residential area and is within walking distance of the old town. Plan ahead to arrange a visit, as access is by guided tour only.

The garden includes architectural elements and sculptures reflecting the owner's interest in classical and Oriental forms. This blend of influences in the garden design sets it apart from other residences of the period.
