About this stay
Set on the Biarritz coastline, this grand hotel provides a refined escape with direct access to the sea. Days here revolve around relaxation, whether it's a dip in one of the two pools, a rejuvenating treatment in the spa, or unwinding in the hammam and hot tub. The fitness centre is well-equipped for those who wish to maintain their routine. Dining is a highlight, with La Rotonde Restaurant offering contemporary French dishes, and the Napoleon III Bar providing a sophisticated setting for evening cocktails.

Our take
I would choose the Hôtel du Palais for a special stay by the sea in Biarritz. The former imperial residence offers two pools, a spa and fitness centre, a contemporary French restaurant and rooms with separate seating areas, and its 9.5 score is exceptional. A playground makes it work for children too. Travellers looking for a small, informal address will find the scale and style very grand.
- ✓Explore the spa and fitness centre early in your stay to make the most of the hammam, hot tub, and massage treatments.
- ✓Dine at La Rotonde Restaurant for a taste of contemporary French cuisine with a view.
- ✓Enjoy a cocktail at the Napoleon III Bar in the evening for a classic, sophisticated experience.

Why guests love itBuilt for Empress Eugénie and set above the Grande Plage, the Hôtel du Palais is a landmark of Biarritz, and it also caters well to families. There are two pools, a children's playground on site, and air-conditioned rooms, some with a separate seating area that gives parents a little space. The spa and fitness centre are there for adults, and the restaurant serves contemporary French cuisine. Pets are welcome, and nearly 800 reviews average an outstanding 9.5.
