Hôtel du Palais Biarritz - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

Biarritz

Napoleon III built this palace for his empress in 1854, and it still reigns over the Grande Plage with Second Empire grandeur. Take the historic tour, nurse a cocktail overlooking the Atlantic, or surrender to the Guerlain spa: this is living large, Basque-style.
