Centrally located hotel in Bordeaux.

Looking for a hotel in Bordeaux around the Theatre Grands Hommes area. Looking for luxury...

I was also told about two restaurants: La tupina and Chapon Fin. We will be in Sarlat, so I thought the cuisine at La tupina is very much similar to what we%26#39;ll be having in Sarlat, and apparently Chapon Fin in closed on Sundays. I will be in Bordeaux on May 6th.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Alas, luxury accommodations are not very thick on the ground in Bordeaux. There is currently nothing in the Intercontinental or Four Seasons, or Ritz range here yet. It%26#39;s not sure to be open by the time you arrive in early May, but Bordeaux will get a luxury establishment when the new Grand Hotel opens in late spring right across from the Grand Theatre. It is in the final stages of a multi-year renovation and will be operated by SAS-Radisson. Just for information%26#39;s sake, you can see more here:

Otherwise, the longstanding luxury hotel in Bordeaux has been the Burdigala, which is quite comfortable but is somewhat less centrally located.

As for restaurants, La Tupina will be similar to the fare in Sarlat, so even if it offers exceptional dining you may want to look elsewhere if you want to diversify your gastronomic experience.

For something offering classic Bordeaux elegance, you might try Le Noailles, which is on the Allées de Tourny. This is across from the Bordeaux Wine Bureau (CIVB) headquarters, and is a preferred address in town for people in the local wine trade.
