HÔTEL DU PALAIS
A great European "palace hotel", with windows opening to the sound of the sea
Biarritz, France
Positioned on a headland between two pristine beaches, this spectacular national monument has been welcoming guests since 1893. Originally built as the private residence of the Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie, it blends glamour and sophistication with Basque country warmth.
Just steps from the pretty town centre of Biarritz, its surroundings are packed with activities to inspire and delight. There are great golf courses, beaches that sweep towards the Pyrenees and nearby Spain, and Basque villages to explore inland.
