Hotel description
Hotel La Zoologie & Spa in Bordeaux is a striking boutique hotel set in a former zoology institute, just a short walk from Bordeaux’s historic centre. The building’s industrial past lives on through original brickwork, glass roofs and steel beams, all softened by warm lighting and natural textures. The atmosphere is quietly elegant, a space where history meets design, all while celebrating the building’s original character. Guests can unwind in the hotel’s beautiful spa, complete with a large Jacuzzi, hammam and sauna, or enjoy seasonal dishes at the on-site restaurant before relaxing with a drink in the leafy courtyard. With its thoughtful design, peaceful setting and attention to detail, La Zoologie offers a refined stay that perfectly reflects Bordeaux’s creative spirit.
Our take on the stay

It’s the kind of hotel where you can start the day with a sauna and end it with a glass of Bordeaux wine in the garden.
