Le Palais Gallien Hôtel & Spa
Bordeaux, France
Behind its Bordeaux façade, Le Palais Gallien opens into a garden with an outdoor pool, a welcome change of pace after a day in the city. Rooms and suites mix contemporary furnishings with the character of the historic building; selected categories add private terraces or whirlpool baths. The Nuxe spa and Le Cercle de Montaigne restaurant make staying in a credible option. Compare room categories carefully if outdoor space is a priority, as features vary across the house.
