Vatel BORDEAUX, a hotel management school 

The spirit of the South West

A tourist city par excellence, Bordeaux was crowned "European Capital of Smart Tourism" in 2022. Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is appreciated for its gastronomy and the multitude of terraces that abound in the city center. And how can we not mention the country's largest wine region?

Founded in 1994, the VATEL Bordeaux Hotel management school counts more than 59 different nationalities spread between its two campuses. The establishment offers its 720 students classes in French or English, along with personalized support tailored to their career goals and, naturally, a specialization in Wine and Spirits, given its location in Bordeaux.

Vatel Bordeaux earned France’s Qualiopi certification in 2023. That certification offers a confirmation of the quality of the processes and actions we employ as a training provider, from a perspective of the development of skills in the school’s trainees.

Just a few minutes from the heart of the city, VATEL Bordeaux boasts a 4-star hotel with European Ecolabel certification and the restaurant "Les Tables Vatel" that teach students the best practices including those dealing with sustainable development.

The Social Responsibility of the Educational Enterprise is of the utmost importance!



1st hotel school certified «European Ecolabel» in 2016 and renewed every two years.

Our priority is to prepare the future young professionals to adhere to the Corporate Educational and Social Responsibility (CESR) and the best way to achieve this is to give them the opportunity to apply daily the good practices of sustainable development in our entities.



Our first priority: An inclusive sense of service. We are committed to offering a personalised welcome to our students with disabilities and training our students to duly and warmly welcome every guest, including guests with a hearing, visual, mental or motor disability.

Our blind dinner organized regularly at Tables Vatel with the help of the students on practicals and the participation of the association “Group for the Integration of People with Physical Disabilities” * (GIHP) perfectly illustrates this desire. 

If you have a disability, please contact us so that we can help and guide you in your application and procedures.

Vineyards & Gastronomy, Bordeaux's winning duo

Bordeaux embodies the world’s best wines and spirits with its six large grape-growing regions that are known throughout the world and called: 'the Six Bordeaux Wine Routes.' As for gourmet cooking in Bordeaux, it is also a benchmark with its multiple culinary specialties to tickle the taste buds of the most demanding gourmets. With one restaurant for every 285 inhabitants, Bordeaux’s gastronomy, authentic and locally-sourced, blends seafood, local produce and of course, its wines. Excursions into the Bordeaux vineyards are the best way to discover this region’s strengths, how Bordeaux’s wines are made, without forgetting its many prestigious chateaux.
