WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL
Hôtel du Palais Biarritz is a grand and iconic 5-star palace hotel that embodies timeless elegance and seaside luxury. Originally built in 1855 for Empress Eugénie, the hotel sits proudly above the famous Grande Plage, offering sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean. Its 142 rooms and suites are richly appointed in Napoleon III style, blending regal charm with modern sophistication. Guests can indulge in exquisite cuisine across multiple restaurants, including the ocean-facing La Rotonde, or unwind in the expansive Spa Impérial, which features indoor and outdoor pools, hammam, sauna, fitness centre, and treatments by Guerlain.
We love Hôtel du Palais for its unmatched sense of history, its breathtaking oceanfront setting, and its dedication to refined hospitality. From the moment you enter, it feels like a royal escape—whether you’re strolling its elegant corridors, sipping cocktails on the terrace, or relaxing in the spa. It’s not just a hotel; it’s a destination rich in heritage, indulgence, and classic French glamour.
