5-star Art Deco hotel overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the Biarritz lighthouse

Dining

The on-site restaurant, Frenchie Biarritz, is a creative brasserie rooted in Basque culinary culture led by renowned chef Gregory Marchand. The restaurant opens onto a large terrace facing the ocean, serving dishes that reflect local ingredients. Guests can also enjoy daily brunch with local culinary specialties and a Sunday brunch offering a wide selection.

Rooms

The hotel has seventy-two rooms and suites decorated by interior designer Dorothée Meilichzon, mixing neo-Basque architecture with Art Deco references. Each room faces either the ocean or the Biarritz golf course, with color schemes of white, blue, dark green, and Basque red. Rooms are soundproofed, air-conditioned, and offer tea/coffee making facilities.

Wellness

The spa treatments are inspired by the power of the Alps using Susanne Kaufmann products combined with Alaena, the emblematic local brand of the oceanic region. Facilities include a hammam, massage rooms, a fitness center with locker rooms, and a spa lounge. Beauty services cover body scrubs, body wraps, facial treatments, pedicures, and waxing.

Family & Activities

Kid-friendly amenities include babysitting services, a kids' meal menu, and board games available in the library area. Summer events such as DJ dinners on the terrace provide entertainment for adults and older children. The heated outdoor pool is open from May to October and offers panoramic sea views with sun loungers and umbrellas.

Location & Services

The hotel stands on a cliff overlooking the Bay of Biarritz, across from the lighthouse and a short walk to surf beaches and the Golf de Biarritz le Phare. Concierge services provide detailed local recommendations, and the hotel offers free on-site parking with electric vehicle charging stations. Additional facilities include a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, laundry, dry cleaning, and room service.
