This hotel has perfected the art of service. From the moment we stepped out of our car until three days later when we left, every single interaction with staff was impeccable. I was more often than not addressed by my name (how do they keep track?!), and the balance they have struck between formal and welcoming is truly amazing. Easily the finest hotel experience I’ve ever had.

We stayed for 3 nights. I am a Expedia platinum member and they had an upgrade available but the check in staff couldn’t agree with each other to give us upgrade. The big elderly lady with big black glasses was rude and obnoxious refused that France didn’t care about Expedia members, only if I booked with AMX I could get upgraded. Room was ok, bathroom was very small, for $1000 a night not worth it at all. The view of the beach was nice which we paid for it, otherwise very old dated hotel but looks glamorous. Our friends had a large suite but they were not happy with the smell of old dated wood. Service was ok, staff , most of them as rude as they could be. Breakfast was good but again staff are rude and slow. Dinner was good but not great for a Michelin star. Area around the hotel are nice and charming, lots of shops and restaurants. Overall it would be a nicer stay if there wasn’t so much attitude around.

The property, from architecture to experience, is all about luxury. From the initial greeting to departure, the entire stay was lovely. I had a beautiful room with 5 (or 6?) floor to ceiling windows, a bathtub (💖), and twin beds. We were welcomed with champagne and lemon cookies, and the complimentary teas were delicious and high quality. The welcome for my little dog was sweet and beautiful. And although the chef has recently changed, the wait staff is knowledgeable, refined, and gracious. My thanks to Nisma, Denis, and others at reception, to Pierre and Christophe, the voituriers, and to the young lady who engraved the little dog tag for Rambo, many thanks!

I have stayed several times here, almost everytime I've been to Biarritz, and the reception has always been courteous and professional. The rooms have always been beautiful and luxuriously well appointed. Each arrival has been lovely, with reception, check in, car and luggage, and in all my stays, there was only one problem, that was quickly, and graciously, resolved. The hotel is right on the beach, and it's an easy walk down to dig your toes in the sand! It has become a welcome refuge.

My husband and I felt well cared for and respected. I don't know if we received a room upgrade, but it felt like we did because we had a room with beautiful views of the city and ocean. Dinner on the terrace last night, with the ocean and sunset, were a definite plus!

Dinner at the restaurant we didn’t like especially seaweed dessert 😢. Lobster in beet juice didn’t impress us. But that’s a separate entity I guess and not the hotel.

Service is not consistent . Tv not working and hairdryers fixed on the wall of the bathroom and weak which is not convenient .

The property is very eell located, overlooking the ocean. The gardens are gorgeous and well manicured, the interiors are inmacurate and full of impresive antiquites such as the fire place at the bar so is the huge hanging lamp at the same place. The food is very good at the restaurant, the pool is a nice hangout, views impresive, the room was a good size and the amenities by Guerlain are always a plus, the bathroom has a good size but not large, it didn't have a bathtub. The air conditioning system works very well, the cleaning service is very reliable and kind.
Probably the thing I didn't like much was the time taking during the check in and the check out, the concierge was also not very good. I was going to pay with my DINERS CLUB card at the front desk and the lady told me they did not take DINERS CLUB, for a hotel of duch high standards I don't understand why don't take all credit cards.

Stay here on the half board package is actually good value for the quality and pay if you want extras but you will want for nothing here really.

No AC = No 5 stars

The hotel is nice, but when you are charging $500+ a night, you should have working AC, not advertise that you do but in fact have rooms that are 80 degrees because what you CALL an AC is actually little more than a fan. The room was way too hot bottom line, and there is nothing that the hotel can do about it becasue its AC system barely works. You put your hand over the vent and can barely feel anything coming out. I guess Europeans dont mind 80 degree rooms and are willing to pay for the very nice Belle Epoque surroundings, but if it is a hot summer day and you need a room that is more like 70 degrees than 80 degrees, go elsewhere.

Could be better

The hotel has a wonderful location right on the beach and if you can it's worth getting a room with a sea view. Very grand historic hotel but the rooms are in need of a little refurbishment. Very old style bedroom although the bathroom was newer. Lots of staff but it felt like they weren't all on the ball and at times it felt quite institutional. Some of the staff appeared disinterested and others were very helpful. Overall it was a great experience but unless they do something to update their rooms and improve the staff attitude then there are other places I would prefer to go. It's a beautiful building but trading a little on faded glory.

Absolutely loved the hotel. It is just as gorgeous as the reviews all say, and the service is fantastic. I went down to the front desk and requested a decanter for a bottle of wine I'd purchased on my own, and housekeeping literally beat me back to the room! The pool is also second to none. The only reason I give less than 5 stars straight through is that the window was very small, and porthole style, so the room was rather dark (tip: the lower floors are the best -- don't be fooled by a fifth floor reservation!) But if you're staying in Biarritz, it's worth the money.

Great hotel, super expensive, average amenities

The hotel is great, no doubt about it. However is really too expensive for what they offer. For instance in a 400€ room you expect to find high quality bathroom amenities (like all the hotels have) and not cheap stuff with the name of the hotel. I´ve stayed in much cheaper hotels (but also great ones) and the amenties were by Etro, Missoni or Salvatore Ferragamo. The bathroom also needed a renovation as it was quite dated (again for that sort of hotel).The room was very nice with views of the beach and the lighthouse.The stuff was very nice and attentive though many of them only spoke French.
