A surf town with a noble past, Biarritz in southwestern France makes for a sweet summer or off-season escape.
The Hotel de la Plage, overlooking Port-Vieux Beach, is a stylish and contemporary 4-star boutique Biarritz hotel that perfectly captures the town’s unique energy.
Walking through the doors, the art deco architecture of Biarritz / Paris-based Atelier Gardera & Pastre makes a statement with bold lines and geometric details, creating a timeless and modern atmosphere.
Each of the 20 guest rooms is filled with natural light and eclectic works of art. Meanwhile, the bright and airy dining area invites guests to savour a delicious breakfast made exclusively from gourmet local products.
Designed for relaxation, the lounge-library is equipped with a wood burning stove and offers a breathtaking view of the sea.
The rooftop, overlooking the ocean, is the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast, a delicious pastry, or a sundowner cocktail and tapas.
The Hotel de la Plage encourages guests to experience unique local attractions and offers beach yoga classes, surf lessons, plus electric bikes are also available for exploring the city.
There’s also the chance to bring a little bit of Biarritz’s unique art and design pieces home – the hotel’s store features limited editions of decorative pieces, textiles, beach accessories, and souvenirs made in Biarritz.
