This hotel has character, atmosphere and first class service. It may be thought by some to be a bit old school, but I like that and appreciate it. If arriving, or leaving by train, they will sent a car. At night the bed is turned down, shutters and curtains closed, a chocolate on your bedside table. In the morning a... More

Thank you Tripadvisor! So close to the beach, this lovely old hotel is stylish and beautiful. The service is out of this world - I wish I'd driven here just for the valet parking. This is an expensive hotel so we didn't pay the extra for the view. But it's still wonderful. I'm glad we decided to splash out though.... More

We stayed in the Hermitage for a week in July with nanny and our three children. First of all I would like to say we really enjoyed our stay. La Baule was great and we liked the hotel, probably the best of the Barriere Hotels. We would definitely go back. The contrast in attitude between this hotel and the Majestic... More

The Hermitage Barriere is an upscale traditional seaside Hotel frequented by wealthy French families. From valet parking, old school Concierges, a Restaurant on the beach, a well managed pool it ticks all the boxes. It has however much more than this it has continuity of core staff namely, Patrick and Alain. Patrick has been the Concierge for at least the... More

We have stayed here many times & never dissapointed, it's on the beach & a grand art deco Hotel that just says style in every respect. The moment you drive up the bell- hops are everywhere, doors open, bags out & they park your car, the receptionists that book you in even personally take you to your palatial room to... More

I stayed here four nights on a business trip with colleagues. The hotel accommodations are a bit dated, but the service and food more than compensate. All of the restaurants are of outstanding quality! I would recommend this place for a quiet, romantic weekend and as a great base from which to cycle along the long beach promenade or up... More

I am currently staying at the Hermitage in La Baule and I can not say enough about how Matthew and Stephan in concierge have gone out of their way to be helpful. Some of the reviews have not been complimentary about the staff and the service, which I have found to be quite impressive in such a large hotel.They have... More

I've stayed here for 1 night during a convention in November 2011. This historic hotel is located just in front of the beach of La Baule. My room was just huge. Next to a nice bed, the room also featured a very big flat screen with many TV channels, a little desk with high speed internet connection and a some... More

Stayed at the hotel for two nights and had a very enjoyable time. The restaurant on the beach is great and the facilities good. The gym is a little underequipped but you can say that about most hotels that do not have a purpose built gym. Our room over looked the road and the bins but this did not detract... More
