DISCOVER THE AMBASSADORS’ HOUSE
La Maison des Ambassadeurs, the first five-star hotel in La Rochelle, pays tribute to the French ambassador Albert Bodard, the 'son of La Rochelle', through an assertive style, elegant decoration, a bar and refined cuisine.
Our history
At the height of the 19th century, the ambassadors of the French Empire exported their lifestyle to the four corners of the world, like Albert Bodard, explorer and ambassador of France, who multiplied the missions to his homes in Mexico, Iran, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Indonesia and China. Despite a life rich in adventures, political intrigues, travel and epicureanism, Albert Bodard always considered La Rochelle as 'his home'.
Bodard Bar
The bar at the Maison des Ambassadeurs recreates the festive atmosphere where Albert Bodard entertained around the large period fireplace. The modern decoration with 1950s accents is punctuated with objects gleaned from around the world which tell the story of Ambassador Bodard and his adventures, from the New World to the Far East.
Guests and locals mingle in a festive and welcoming atmosphere for afternoon tea or evening drinks. A fine selection of wines and local products highlight the heritage of La Rochelle, all accompanied by essential international dishes. Seasonal cocktails inspired by travels to the four corners of the world make the bar a place where all ages meet.
The Bodard Bar welcomes you every day from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m.
