I am shocked that this isn't the #1 hotel in Deauville. Some of the reviews here mention the interior needing a refresher, but the only thing we noticed is that in the hallway of the floor we were staying on, you could see the seams on some of the wallpaper and some wood paneling looks older. That is in no way a reason to avoid this property, and it does not distract from having a 5-star experience there. The staff at the property are so personal and professional and go above and beyond to provide you with personalization and care. After checking in, we were given a tour of and some history about the property. We were shown our room which was stunningly beautiful! The bathroom was large and modern, the room was very spacious and completely spotless, and the sea view from the balcony was breathtaking. The room comes equipped with yoga mats. We needed an iron and an ironing board, but the room didn't have one. We called for one, and it was delivered within minutes, and we were able to keep it for the remainder of our stay. There were fair prices for laundry service too, which we utilized. Nothing is overlooked in the toiletry supply, including shaving kit, toothbrush kit, perfume, etc. The beds at the Hôtels Barrière are *the* most comfortable - the mattresses, the bedding (somehow the comforter keeps you perfectly warm without over-heating!), the pillows. Turn-down service left little local caramels on the pillows. Fresh glass bottles of water are left in your room daily (and you can also get boxed water from the concierge when you're on your way out for the day). The room was just perfect. There is a lot to do at the hotel, and we wished we could have stayed longer! There is a pool, at which you can order drinks and food. The beach out front is massive and gorgeous. There are several hotel cafes along the beach boardwalk with food that is delicious and just the kind of food you want to eat when at the shore on a warm day (oysters, burrata and tomatoes, french fries, ice cream, and a large drink selection). All of the food at the hotel is top quality (best meals of our trip). Do not miss the breakfast! They have everything you could every want from pastries to a juice maker to eggs and meats, and a special gluten-free station. They also have local cider and champagne, along with many fresh juices. Dinner at the hotel is just as good, and the lobby lounge/bar has good cocktails and live music. You can also utilize the Kids Club and Teens Club at the sister hotel, Le Normandy, which is just a block away. We did not have time to enjoy them, but there is also a spa and complementary bicycles to use. Our only regret is that we did not plan for a longer stay!

We were staying at the hotel to celebrate our anniversary and really enjoyed a very relaxing couple of days. Reception was charming, informative, efficient, took good care of our car and made us feel right at home. Our room had a beautiful view of the beach, was extremely comfortable, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. There was a very nice touch of some flowers and gifts on our arrival. The turn down service was exceptional. The hotel itself is old-world grandeur, with first class facilities and service. You want to linger to enjoy all of its charm, care and history. The restaurant served a pleasant dinner, with well-presented staff. And just a few meters away is the stunning beach. We had a wonderful time. Many thanks to all the staff and the Duty Manager Guillaume.

We had a wonderful stay at Le Royal Deauville. Our lovely room overlooked the sea front with two sets of french windows and had a huge comfortable bed. Breakfast was a treat. Service was impeccable. We parked the car and didn't touch it for three days. So much to see and do in Deauville. Can't wait to return

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Royal Barrierre in Deauville, France, from April 5 through April 9, 2004. This hotel is elegant yet warm, and the staff is very friendly. We especially appreciate the concierge, Frank, who helped us plan our driving trip to some of the D-Day sites along the Normandy coast. Also Pamela, one of the waitresses in the dining room at breakfast, went out of her way to be warm, friendly and helpful to us. Our room was truly luxurious. This is a hotel that we hope to return to on future vacations.
