If you are from outside of Europe this is your chance to experience the classical Europe from the movies. Sleep in a real palace, feel like royalty. If you want a comfortable hotel for business, spend your money elsewhere. This hotel is exclusive because of the price, not the actual product. There's a strange scent in the hallways and rooms...

This hotel used to be an imperial palace, built in mid 19th century, at the request of Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III. Many of its furnishings are authentic pieces from that era. While the rooms aren't terribly big or luxurious, this hotel is well worth it's five star rating. There's just an amazing feeling you get walking down it's... More

I stayed at the Hotel du Palais for 3 nights with my fiancee. While the room and ocean view were certainly memorable, what we valued most was the broader hotel experience. Everyone at the restaurant, pool, spa, and front desk was happy to help. One could easily see a place with such a grand history be dismissive towards a young... More

Coincidentally, the same emperor that was responsible for the 1855 Classification of the wines of Bordeaux. As soon as you drive through the entrance gates you feel welcome. On entering this palace we were received... More

I continue to regard this hotel as one of the very finest palaces in France where you can stay totally relaxed and pampered. It isn't perfect but very nearly so. The views are incredibly from the terrace outdoor pool and restaurant. To be so close to the sea and to have le phare shining through the windows at dinner and... More

A careful, exquisite and distinguised service, great food and atmosphere in a gorgeous historical palace with a superb location. All made it a wonderful experience for my guests. Thank you! Only used the restaurant service, but really willing to use your rooms soon.

we went for b'day drinks and, as always, the atmosphere never disappoints. there's always a good banter in the bar area, lots of people to watch, conversations to be had with other parties, a piano player to join in with, and conversations to be had with the very attentive barmen. well recommended and great wine choices.
