Le Rooftop – InterContinental Bordeaux

Le Rooftop du Grand Hôtel: Bordeaux in 360° above Place de la Comédie

On the roof of a five-star hotel facing the Grand-Théâtre

The InterContinental Bordeaux – Le Grand Hôtel, a five-star hotel on Place de la Comédie, stands opposite the Grand-Théâtre, right in the centre of Bordeaux. At the very top, on the 7th floor, its rooftop spreads over around a hundred square metres of terrace filled with plants. The bar is open to visitors as well as to hotel guests, and takes no reservations. On the same roof, a jacuzzi is reserved for Spa Guerlain guests.

Rooftops, bell towers and the Garonne

The panorama takes in the whole city: the Grand-Théâtre and Place de la Comédie almost directly below, the roofs and bell towers of the historic centre all around, then the Garonne in the distance. As night falls, the lights of Bordeaux take over.

A different atmosphere every season

The rooftop changes its look through the year. In the warmer months, the open-air terrace hosts a themed pop-up bar, with signature cocktails and things to nibble, in a setting renewed every summer. In winter, the space is covered by a glass roof and heated, and becomes a wine and champagne bar: wines by the glass or by the bottle, from Bordeaux and other great French wine regions, a selection of champagnes and plates to share, such as South-West charcuterie, cheeses or smoked salmon. On some winter evenings, raclette dinners are offered by reservation.
