The Hotel du Palais Biarritz is a beautifully restored palace inside and out. It has a prime location right on the expansive beach yet it is walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and sights. The public rooms are elegant yet welcoming. The restaurant may be the most beautiful room in which we have ever had breakfast especially if you are seated at the huge windows overlooking the sea. It is beautiful at sunset too. We did not opt for a sea view deluxe room because our stay was short and we did not expect to spend much time in the room. We were delighted with our choice of a deluxe room with king bed overlooking the hotel entrance court. We had a lovely sunrise view of the town. The room was quite spacious and graciously furnished. Unfortunately our brief stay did not allow us to take advantage of the spa or other hotel amenities as our goal was to get a taste of the Pays Basque. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We could not have asked for better.
