My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Hotel du Palais Biarritz from April 25 to 26, and it was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. This is not simply a hotel, but a truly iconic and historic property, combining elegance, luxury, and a unique atmosphere. Without doubt, it is one of the finest — if not the finest — hotels in Biarritz and the surrounding region. The facilities are outstanding, the setting is magnificent, and the sense of history throughout the property makes the stay very special. Breakfast was excellent, and the staff were remarkable: professional, attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. A very special thank you to Nassima and Christine for their exceptional kindness and hospitality. Their care made our stay even more memorable. If there is one area with room for improvement, it would be the restaurant and overall food quality, which could be elevated further to fully match the extraordinary level of the hotel. Overall, a superb and unforgettable stay. I would gladly return and highly recommend this legendary property.

This is an amazing hotel. It truly is a palace and I cannot say enough about the staff. Lovely spa and indoor pool. Michelin star restaurant tasting menu was one of the best meals we have ever had.

We tried to visit this hotel late morning with a view to having a glass of wine and checking out the brasserie for a meal later in the week. A very unpleasant security man at the gate blocked us and told us it was “fully booked” till 12 and the bar didn’t open till 4, and that “if we were lucky” we might get a coffee or a glass of wine in the afternoon. Given such a warm welcome we decided to go elsewhere.

All very good food wonderful. Room great but shower too small and no seat. At 80, I need to sit to wash my feet! The staff is a pleasure except when I booked. Or it was inefficient AI or some 12 year old who couldn’t conceive humans without smartphones
