I have stayed at many luxurious, top-tier hotels, and this one easily ranks among the very best I have experienced to date. The location and the building itself are superb. Truly beautiful and picture-perfect in every sense. However, what makes me write this review... something I'm not naturally inclined to do... is to leave a record of the outstanding quality of the service. The team attending the breakfast area were exceptionally kind, attentive and gracious in the care they showed us, making each breakfast experience a real pleasure. (We dealt with 4-5 different people, and they were all equally nice, attentive and professional.) Equally deserving of praise are the front desk staff we interacted with during our stay. From Ms. Amandine, who took such wonderful care of us upon our arrival, to everyone else we encountered, all were consistently welcoming, helpful and professional, setting the tone from the very first moment. We couldn't be more happy and grateful, thanks for a wonderful stay!

It was our third stay at this hotel, and once again everything was absolutely wonderful. We arrived without a prior reservation, yet Álvaro at the reception kindly assisted us and found the perfect rooms for our needs. His professionalism, warmth, and attention made us feel welcome from the very first moment. Thank you for such excellent service — we truly appreciated it and will definitely come back!

Amazing hotel, the lady serving us at Breakfast was amazing. I think her name was Ola? She made our experience at the hotel one of the best we’ve had

Hôtel Du Palais Biarritz is a beautiful historic hotel in a scenic section of Biarritz. The rooms are spacious and beautifully maintained and the service is impeccable. My husband and I stayed for 3 nights as part of a tour group.
