Marty Hotel Bordeaux, Tapestry Collection by Hilton has opened in the French city’s Mériadeck business district.

The brand’s third European property to debut in 2023, it has 61 guestrooms, a large lobby bar, and is within walking distance of many of the city’s attractions.

“Marty is so much more than an ordinary hotel: it’s a new urban hotel in Bordeaux that inspires guests to explore the local culture. It’s a haven for creative types, where artsy bedrooms and a trendy bar – not to mention a whole host of works of art – converge and interact with each other,” said Aurélie Jadelus, general manager. “The name MARTY is derived from a combination of the letter ‘M’ of the Mériadeck district and the ‘arty’ concept, highlighting the vital role that art plays in the venue. This new hotel is a genuine incubator, halfway between an art gallery and a living space.”

The large bar in the lobby serves as a central hub for guests and locals. Topped with an “avalanche” of chandeliers, it is decorated in a fusion of classical wood, steel and concrete industrial features interspersed with bright colors, vintage furniture, and multi-textured fabrics.

The guestrooms, many of which have terraces and balconies, are decorated in a similarly eclectic style. Elements include bookcases, wooden panels, industrial lighting, and a variety of textures.

Cuisine served at Marty Hotel Bordeaux is firmly rooted in the Bordeaux terroir. In the morning, guests can enjoy a buffet stocked with fresh products. At the end of the workday, dished centering around local products made by artisan partners Bouche and La Cave à Titoune are available.

“Now more than ever, travelers are searching for unique experiences and distinctive hotels that enhance their stary,” said Matt Schuyler, chief brand officer, Hilton. “Today, we welcome Marty Hotel Bordeaux, Tapestry Collection by Hilton to our expanding portfolio in France. this hotel will authentically connect guests to the culture and charm of the area and is an exciting addition to our growing collection of Lifestyle properties in France.”
