Hotel Edouard VII occupies a 19th-century residence just a five-minute walk from the beaches of Biarritz, pairing period character with present-day comfort.
The building carries a storied past: it once served as the home of Biarritz's mayor, and Napoleon III came here for medical treatment during his stays in the region.
Rooms are generously sized with an elegant, refined décor. Each is air-conditioned and soundproofed, and comes with a private bathroom, flat-screen TV and complimentary WiFi.
The hotel's surroundings offer plenty to explore, from the coastline and its beaches to nearby restaurants, shops, museums and casinos. San Sebastián is roughly a 45-minute drive away.
