Appart-Hôtel Mer & Golf City Bordeaux Bassins à flot - Waterfront Living

This appart-hotel positions itself as an ideal base for both business and leisure travelers, offering a pragmatic approach to accommodation on Bordeaux's dynamic waterfront. With its unique architecture reminiscent of a cruise liner, the property provides a sense of arrival and an uncommon aesthetic on the docks. It's a place that understands the need for self-sufficiency, particularly for longer stays, while still offering the conveniences of a hotel service.

Location

Situated directly on the waterfront, the Appart-Hôtel Mer & Golf City Bordeaux Bassins à flot enjoys a strategic position within the entertainment district. A mere 300 meters separates you from the Museum of the Sea, and the Cité du Vin, a beacon for oenophiles, is just a five-minute stroll away. The Jacques Chaban-Delmas Bridge is also within easy walking distance, approximately eight minutes. For those looking to explore further, a nearby tram provides swift access to the historical city center. While many restaurants and a supermarket can be found within 50 meters, the immediate surroundings offer a contemporary urban landscape rather than a quaint historical enclave. Mérignac Airport is 12 km distant, with Bordeaux Saint-Jean station a 10-minute drive.

Style and Character

The building's design, conceived to evoke a cruise liner, certainly makes an architectural statement overlooking the Bassins à flot. It's a modern interpretation of waterfront living, with a clean, functional aesthetic. The five-story structure houses 104 apartments, designed with a nod to practicality. Inside, the atmosphere is one of contemporary, uncluttered living, a sensible approach for a property catering to a range of guest needs, from short stays to longer business assignments.

Service and Facilities

The appart-hotel offers a selection of amenities designed for guest convenience. Complimentary wireless internet access is available, alongside a television in a common area. A daily complimentary reception provides an opportunity to mingle, and a free manager's reception is also on offer. For practical needs, the property provides multilingual staff, luggage storage, and tour/ticket assistance. Laundry facilities are available, and an indoor garage can be secured in advance. Daily housekeeping is limited, with more comprehensive cleaning, excluding the kitchenette and dishes, provided every six days. An elevator serves all floors.

Rooms

The 104 accommodations range from studios to suites, all offering a sense of spaciousness. Each apartment features a fully-equipped kitchenette, complete with refrigerators and microwaves, as well as tea and coffee makers and hair dryers. Standard amenities include air conditioning, wide showers, and a quiet orientation for restful stays. Some units boast dishwashers and pleasing views. It's important to note that maximum occupancy figures include baby cots, ensuring families can be accommodated.

Food and Drink

Buffet breakfasts are served on weekdays from 6:30 AM to 10:00 AM (and 7:30 AM on weekends), offering a convenient start to the day. Beyond the in-house breakfast, guests will find numerous restaurants and a supermarket within a 50-meter radius, providing ample options for self-catering and dining out. The property itself does not house a restaurant, aligning with its self-service apartment concept.

Value for Money

This appart-hotel presents a compelling value proposition, especially for those seeking self-catering options or extended stays. The inclusion of kitchenettes and regular cleaning services, combined with complimentary Wi-Fi and the daily reception, adds significant benefit. Its location near key attractions and transport links further enhances its appeal. While not a luxury hotel, it offers a solid, practical experience that feels worth the investment for its target audience.

Accessibility

Information regarding specific accessibility features for guests with reduced mobility was not detailed, but the presence of an elevator suggests a level of accessibility within the building's common areas. Further inquiry would be recommended for detailed needs.

Family-Friendly

The spacious apartments, equipped with kitchenettes, make this an agreeable choice for families. The maximum occupancy guidelines that include baby cots indicate a consideration for younger guests. Being able to prepare meals in-house offers a distinct advantage for families traveling with children. The proximity to attractions like the Museum of the Sea also adds to its family appeal.

“Close to the Cité du Vin and with easy access to the tram, this property stands out for its well-equipped apartments, complete with kitchenettes, making longer stays particularly comfortable. The design evokes a cruise liner, adding a distinctive touch to the waterfront area. I found the focus on practical amenities and location ideal for both families and business travelers seeking a blend of convenience and local experiences in Bordeaux.”
