Hôtel de la métropole de Bordeaux, Administrative tower in Mériadeck district, Bordeaux, France.

The Hôtel de la Métropole de Bordeaux is a 24-story administrative tower rising 77 meters (253 feet) above the Mériadeck district. Its modern facade shapes the visual landscape of this urban area prominently.

Construction of this modern administrative building began in 1977 and completed in 1978. The project marked a turning point in Bordeaux's urban transformation toward contemporary architecture.

The building serves as the seat of Bordeaux Métropole, housing the metropolitan area's administrative center. Visitors can observe the rhythm of public affairs and civic life happening within this institutional space.

The building sits at Esplanade Charles de Gaulle and rue Jean Fleuret in the Mériadeck district, making it easily accessible by car or public transit. The 2013 renovations enhanced safety and comfort for visitors and staff.

The adjacent Laure Gatet building produces more energy than it consumes thanks to decorative photovoltaic panels in rose and green colors. This colorful facade demonstrates how neighboring structures blend ecological innovation with visual style.
