Hotel du Palais is now among the most
beautiful hotels in the world, overlooking the beach and the Atlantic
Ocean. Formerly, it was the summer mansion of
Napoleon III and Empress Eugenia. Owned by the city of Biarritz, the hotel has been permanently
restored. Each beautifully designed guest room is air-conditioned and has
satellite television. The hotel’s luxury and ageless charm, coupled with
its outstanding sports facilities, make the Palais an international center
for vacationers and sports enthusiasts alike. Lulled for over a century by
the waves of the ocean, the Palais gives itself to its guests, like a
long-held promise and an invitation to taste the sweet harmony of this
region, where the gentle caress of time fades into the magic of the moment.
Hôtel du Palais have three restaurants, including La Villa Eugenie, for
gastronomic fare; La Rotonde, facing the sea, for lunch or dinner with
music; and the informal L’Hippocampe, for lunch around the pool. Refined in every way, the welcome here consists of myriad thoughtful
details. The soul of the Palais
reveals itself first in its rooms and apartments, testimonials to the
opulence of times past. Carefully chosen objects, cozy intimacy, luxury
can be defined as the pleasure of living here in absolute serenity.
Perched regally on Biarritz’s wide, sandy beach, one hundred yards from
the town’s center, the Hôtel du Palais is a two-minute walk from the
Casino. |
