HYATT UNVEILS RESTORED HOTEL DU PALAIS BIARRITZ

HYATT HAS UNVEILED THE restored Hotel du Palais Biarritz two years after the property joined the group’s Unbound Collection. The property was first built in 1854 by Napoleon

III for his wife Eugénie de Montijo and is the only hotel on the French Atlantic Coast to be recognised with ‘Palace’ status.

Most of the hotel’s 86 rooms and 56 suites have been “meticulously restored to reflect the palace’s iconic past in French history” and facilities include La Rotonde restaurant, offering dishes from the Pays Basque region. The 3,000 sqm Imperial Spa is spread over four floors and features an indoor freshwater pool, whirlpool, hammam and sauna, while outside there is a second seawater pool with cabanas and a private changing room. The hotel will remain open until November 1, 2021, when it will close again for the final phase of the restoration programme, reopening for summer 2022.
