The hotel was designed by architect Nicolas Adnet of Studio MHNA, whose creative and personalized approach inspired a unique interpretation of French elegance and local sophistication. The hotel’s interiors create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere and encourage guests to embrace the spirit of their surroundings.
FirstName Bordeaux offers 147 rooms and suites, divided into seven different categories for guests to choose from: Cocoon, Canopée, Carat, Collector Suites and FirstRoom. Designed to be functional and comfortable, each guest room is beautifully decorated with graphic frescoes by a local artist and features easy-to-use technology and intuitive finishes. The hotel’s commitment to sustainability is realized in eco-friendly interiors, including wood sourced from organically managed forests, plush carpets made from discarded fishing nets, as well as charcoal in each room to purify the atmosphere.
