Refinement and Elegance were the key words for Frédérique Fournier, the decorator of the rooms. Decorated in a revisited Napoleon III style, they are adorned in pink, green, flowery violet and striking raspberry-red. They place the emphasis on French crafts, with embroidered Braquenié silk taffeta fabrics from Pierre Frey, Houlès trimmings, Moissonnier furniture and products by Guerlain in the bathrooms.
"I was looking for very floral decoration, quite bold for Bordeaux, creating a new, very French approach, where the clear presence of luxury is offset by charm and elegance", explains Frédérique Fournier, who chose all the decorative elements from the work of French artisans, in line with the hotel’s respect for tradition.
Like all of our guest rooms, the Sagesse has been carefully decorated with our guests’ comfort and total serenity in mind. Perfectly appointed for two people at 25 m², it features a king size bed. This room’s calm, private environment is the perfect place for relaxation and contemplation.
