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 has three restaurantsincluding 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
