Hôtel du Palais Biarritz

A living testament to Biarritz's history, the Villa Eugenie, now the Hôtel du Palais, was built in 1855 by Napoleon III for his wife, Eugénie de Montijo. Today, it stands among the most celebrated historic resorts in France. The main hall, private salons, and restaurants have all retained their Second Empire style, a style synonymous with Biarritz and its reputation as a refined ocean resort. Each of the rooms and suites is enhanced with artwork and tapestries, furnished predominantly in the Second Empire style of Napoleon III's era. The utmost care was taken in selecting furniture and fabrics to create a harmonious ambiance and unique style for every room. Suites are noble and elegant, offering a vision of quintessential French luxury.
