Le Burdigala can host seminars, workshops and business meetings for up to 62 people in a single room, with eight meeting rooms in total and a bar that can be privatised for cocktails and celebrations. The hotel stands on rue Georges Bonnac in central Bordeaux and has 83 rooms and suites for delegates who stay overnight.
Seminars and company events
The meeting offer is organised as a set of workshops, or ateliers, each named after a Bordeaux district or landmark. Rooms range from small spaces for a team of a dozen to rooms for around sixty, which suits management meetings, training sessions, product launches and seminars where several groups work at the same time. A dedicated groups team handles seminar requests. For the evening, Le Secret de l'Atelier, a bar and meeting space, can be privatised entirely for a business cocktail or a team celebration.

The ateliers are located a few steps from the hotel. Atelier Quinconces, at 74 m², takes up to 62 people and is one of the largest rooms. Atelier Mériadeck covers 80 m² for up to 60 and is fully modular. Atelier Grands Hommes takes 58 people in 68 m², and Atelier Intendance 52 people in 72 m². Atelier Saint-Seurin, 56 m², seats 41 and is presented as the most versatile room. Atelier Chartrons, 40 m², takes 30, and Atelier Tourny, 50 m², takes 28 and is designed for team-building formats. A projection room for up to 18 people can be booked privately for screenings or small working sessions. The site gives maximum capacities only, so layouts should be confirmed with the team.

Deluxe rooms are 33 m², duplexes 44 to 52 m², and suites 53 to 60 m² for up to four guests. Guests also have access to a fitness space and a wellness area.

Menus and formats are arranged with the groups team when the seminar is planned.
History and setting
Le Burdigala belongs to Inwood Hotels, and its name recalls Burdigala, the Latin name of Bordeaux. According to the hotel news, its interiors were renovated by the studio Roque Intérieurs. Beyond meetings, the hotel offers coworking, a games area and a programme of experiences in the city, which can fill the free time of a seminar group.

The address is 115 rue Georges Bonnac, 33000 Bordeaux, in the city centre. Bordeaux Saint-Jean station, with high-speed trains to Paris in about two hours, and Bordeaux-Mérignac airport are the main arrival points for delegates coming from further afield.
