A true 5-star retreat, Hôtel du Palais Biarritz pairs two swimming pools with a spa and fitness centre featuring a hammam, hot tub and a full menu of massage treatments.
Rooms and suites are air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen satellite TV and free Wi-Fi; a number of them also include a separate lounge area.
Contemporary French cuisine takes centre stage at La Rotonde Restaurant, while the Napoleon III Bar is the place to wind down the evening with a cocktail.
Breakfast and dinner can both be enjoyed with a terrace view, and younger guests will find a dedicated playground on site.
The casino is just a 2-minute walk away, with the town centre roughly 10 minutes on foot. Golfers can reach the Biarritz-Le-Phare course in about 10 minutes by car, and Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport lies only 3 km from the Palais.
