Our establishment consists of two 18th century listed houses.
The Bayonne mansion, now offering 33 rooms and suites, was historically the former residence of the Prince of Asturias, heir to the throne of the King of Spain. It became a hotel in 1950.
The Etche-Ona residence, offering 28 rooms and suites, was used by the household staff of various nobles, notably the nobility of the Grand Hôtel de Bordeaux and the Hôtel de Sège located on the Cours du Chapeau Rouge and Rue Esprits des Lois in Bordeaux. This inn, originally run by a family from the Basque country, housed a restaurant and a few rooms. It became a hotel in 1967.
Like all listed buildings of the 18th century, the top floors of our houses were reserved for service personnel. The ceiling height is therefore lower (2.5 metres), whereas the other floors, called the “nobility floors”, have a ceiling height of 4 metres.
In 2015 and 2016, major renovation work was undertaken on both buildings. The Bayonne residence was the first to undergo works and was closed for 6 months for refurbishment. The Etche-Ona residence was then given a makeover for a period of 6 months as well. Today, the Best Western Premier Bordeaux – Hotel Bayonne Etche-Ona offers its visitors two completely different atmospheres: Art-Deco 1925-1930 for the Bayonne; Cabinet de Curiosités & Retour de Voyages for the Etche-Ona.
