Hôtel de la Presse

Top-to-toe millennial renovations keep this 1920s hotel, wedged between boutiques in Bordeaux's busy shopping heart, right up to date. A monumental bulldog stands sentry in the breakfast room, and its 27 boutique rooms enjoy the same bold murals (albeit featuring vintage printing letter blocks, vintage trainers and the like rather than teeth-bearing canines). The excellent organic breakfast costs €12.50.
