Accomodation on Bordeaux | Elegance Double Room & Duplex Suite with Terrace
In the 19th century, Mr Barbe, a resident of Bordeaux, asked the Swiss architect Camille Martin (1877-1926) to build a private residence in the centre of Bordeaux. The original central building was built in 1895.
The street was then called rue Saint-Sernin, in honour of Jean de Saint-Sernin, director of the Institut des sourdes-muettes until his death in 1816. The city then renamed it after Abbé Charles-Michel de l’Épée, one of the precursors of specialised education for the deaf. He had notably participated in the creation of the Institution Nationale des sourdes-muettes in 1786, a historical monument still located at 87 rue de l’Abbé de l’Épée.
This 5-star hotel was first a private residence where various notable families of Bordeaux lived until 1968. Then a renowned doctor, whose activity as a physiotherapist required the installation of fitness and wellness areas for his patients, wished to extend the hotel. A new building was built in the garden.
