Gault&Millau's review 2025

Facing the ocean and housed in a sumptuous Belle Époque building, this historic hotel is one of Biarritz's must-sees. The emblematic establishment was completely renovated in 2023 by the Experimental Group, in collaboration with decorator Dorothée Meilichzon. The designer was inspired, rethinking the 72 rooms and suites using raw materials (rope, Japanese straw), varnished wood furniture and aquatically patterned carpets, all offering sumptuous views over the Bay of Biarritz. On the first floor, the bar reinterprets the spirit of 1920s cocktail piano bars, with a huge counter facing more intimate spaces decorated with large sofas and lit by beautiful paper lamps by Ingo Maurer. The restaurant and its vast terrace - closed for renovation until July 2026 - are the stronghold of chef Grégory Marchand, whose signature cuisine revisits the great local classics with the precision and character for which he is renowned. And when it comes to activities, guests are spoilt for choice, from surfing spots to the lighthouse golf course just opposite the hotel.
