Top 5-Star Hotels in Biarritz

Our stay at the Hotel du Palais was an absolute dream. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to an oceanfront room, which was nothing short of breathtaking. We arrived on my husband's birthday and walking in to this view was the perfect surprise! All of the staff were warm, welcoming, and went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable experience. A special thanks to Emma from the concierge team, who helped us with both a restaurant reservation and arranging a rental car – her assistance made everything so easy. We highly recommend having dinner at La Rotonde, where the food is delicious, and the setting is simply elegant. A drink at the Bar Napoleon III is also a must – the atmosphere is cozy and their cocktail menu is fantastic! We spent some relaxing afternoons by the pool, enjoying the ocean views from the lounge chairs, which added to the overall luxurious experience. If you can, we also recommend 1/2 day trips to St Jean de Luz and St Jean Pied de Port. Two adorable villages (very different from each other), and easy drives. We couldn't be happier with our stay, and hope to return one day!

I rate the Sofitel a 3 but it’s really only a 2 if I was to only judge the hotel. The location and the pool were the absolute highlight’s and for this we give a 5! Biarritz has a stunning coastline but please spend your money elsewhere! This hotel pretends to be a 5 star hotel with wellness spa. Thank goodness I had not planned my trip around the spa itself. I think if this was in Australia, it would be shut down. When you take the lift to the spa , you arrive into a waste land! Depending on which way you arrive, it is a rabbit warren of empty corridors, closed doors with French signage! I couldn’t even find the toilet. After paying $700 AUD for 3 treatments, you would expect a warm welcome, and someone assisting you to your next treatment. No not here, you are on your own (naked in a robe) trying to ask for directions to the next room however nobody speaks English. My treatment was booked with a Physiotherapist however I think she was barely qualified for a massage! Highlights from my family were the soft robes and spacious rooms, big beds with cozy mattresses toppers and soft linen. Great valet and reception but that’s it for service. Pool is saltwater and perfectly cool! We could not find the indoor pool

This hotel stands proud near the lighthouse in beautiful Biarritz. We expected great things , not put off at all by the position of the hotel as we are fit and well and enjoyed the walk into town and back . We did not like our first room which was very small . To be honest I think if I was critical the hotel could do much better on their website explaining the room set up . We like a king bed which we got , but there was not enough storage space and no walking around space at all . Reception dealt with our request well and my husband checked the room an ocean suite which was lovely but after we got unpacked I realised the room was huge but the bed was a normal double . My hubby at this point refused to move again so we put up with it for the 4 days . We did pay for the upgrade . I like a hotel that explains what you get . Eg cosy room Etc which was what our first room certainly was . On to better things . The staff first and foremost were fabulous very cheery and helpful . The pool was gorgeous and we enjoyed a few hours every afternoon sitting out . Breakfast was good but not great . Would have loved a fresh cooking station for omelettes fresh eggs .. no variety the exact same every day and where were the glorious French baguettes and croissants. None in sight except tiny croissants that to be honest were not that great . We had one dinner In Frenchie restaurant which was absolutely fabulous best of stay . Finally to end the hotel is good overall but I thought it lacked a bit of atmosphere. It was quiet, piano player one night but not enough for us to stay in more than the one night . It’s a shame . Biarritz is amazing just can’t quite decide if I would stay in the Regina again.

Good location. Really poor check in experience - told room would be ready at 2pm but were sent away rather brusquely at 2pm with a “we will call you when it is ready”. That call was never made and we were left in reception waiting for over an hour without any acknowledgment. The room itself was fine save for an impossible to understand a/c set up and paper cups rather than glasses in the bathroom and with the coffee stuff - that feels a bit cheap for a hotel such as this. Charging €5 to hire a beach towel also felt a tad harsh. At our next hotel, they were more than happy to hand them out free of charge. We won’t be returning.

Excellent friendly service, with a great location close to the town and beach. Great air-conditioning for those hot summer nights and a cute outside deck for their home made breakfast. Thoroughly recommend this hotel for a visit to this great city.

The Hotel le Windsor Grande Plage Biarritz was a pleasure to stay at. From the time we checked in early until our checkout they were helpful and attentive. We had a super nice room overlooking the beach and very much enjoyed watching the waves roll in. The staff was extra ordinary and saw to our every need. The room was kind of small but we had what they called a double but was at least a Queen sized bed and the shower was great. All in all a great one night stay.

This hotel is ideal location just a five minute walk away from the main streets of Biarritz and an easy inexpensive ride from the airport on the number 36 bus. We were greeted efficiently at reception and allocated a superior room on the first floor overlooking the swimming pool. Room was not massive but big enough for two travelling with just one suitcase. Bed was comfortable, full length mirror and plenty of sockets to charge iPad and iPhone. Shower was good ,air conditioning worked effectively and we had a comfortable sleep. Wifi worked well on room and by the side of the pool. As others have said TV lacks any English language stations. Pool is not huge but large enough to cool down and exercise in, there were sufficient loungers around the pool and complimentary towels available from reception. Breakfast was offered in two price ranges. €12 and €20 but neither were great value for money. There is a Carrefour supermarket across the road where you can buy breakfast items and there is a kettle in the room. There was a bar but we never witnessed it open. Hotel did the job, probably good value for Biarritz.
