PAID CONTENT FOR HÔTEL DU PALAIS, PART OF THE UNBOUND COLLECTION BY HYATT
Hôtel du Palais BIARRITZ, FRANCE
As a child, Eugénie de Montijo, daughter of the Count of Montijo, spent her family holidays in Biarritz playing on the beach and enjoying the sea. A year after her marriage to Napoleon III, she convinced him in 1854 to buy a 50-acre oceanfront property and to build her a summer villa. One year later, the Villa Eugénie stood sentinel at the water’s edge. Soon, it became a magnet for the crowned heads of Europe and the cream of high society. Nowadays, after a complete renovation, this
only palace of the Atlantic coast unveils the spirit that made it such a legend: a renaissance that ushers the past into the future. Spacious and bathed in sunlight, the rooms and suites are an invite to relax by the seaside of Biarritz. Historical details have been preserved such as the woodwork on the ceiling, the Napoleonic gilding and the delicately coloured hangings that create an intimate setting. Proudly sitting in the centre of the hotel sets La Rotonde, considered by many epicureans as one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the world. La Table d’Aurélien
Largeau, a Michelin-starred restaurant, offers an exceptional 180-degree view over the ocean. Just next door, the Bar Napoléon III is a hidden gem with its royal blue walls, its bronzine-gilded mouldings and chandelier with crystal prisms and its comfortable leather chairs. In light of the extraordinary story of Hôtel
du Palais, the Imperial Spa is an invitation to a unique wellbeing experience, offering Maison Guerlain treatments. The Empress, a passionate lover of fashion and beauty, bestowed upon Pierre François Pascal Guerlain the title of ‘Patented Perfumer-Maker of Her Majesty’ for his Eau Impériale with her favourite scent, orange blossom, which he’d created for her in 1853. The bottle created for this Eau de Cologne is decorated with 69 bees, a nod to the Empire, which had adopted the bee as its symbol. Discover L’Hôtel du Palais, part of The
Unbound Collection by Hyatt. More than a compilation of one-of-a-kind hotels, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt is a thoughtful curation of stories worth collecting.
Don’t miss Dinner at La Table d’Aurélien Largeau is a one-of-a-kind experience, offering breathtaking panoramic view over the ocean
