Hotel Saint-Julien
Warm, design-forward Basque maison with a family-house spirit. Chic without being stuffy. The cocktail bar under citrus trees is the social heart of the place.
Book the Superior Balnéo room if you want a bathtub — it's the only category with one
Why It Matters
Michelin Guide listed. Home to Anema, a rotating chef-in-residence restaurant now in its third year under Chef Léa Etchegoyen. Cocktail bar program created by Jérémy Lauilhé, Meilleur Ouvrier de France in mixology. One of the few central Biarritz hotels with on-site private parking.
A 19th-century neo-Basque maison on Avenue Carnot, a short walk from both Port Vieux and the Côte des Basques. The building has the classic ivory facade and deep-red shutters you expect of this part of France, and its interior has been thoughtfully renovated by Rose Design & Crème Studio — each room done in a single color (sage green, mustard yellow, pale lavender), with high ceilings, parquet floors, vintage pieces, wicker lamps, and distressed wood side tables. 26 rooms plus an apartment, all individually styled. Part of the Ginto Hotels collection.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Comfort Room
The entry-level room — compact at 17 sqm but designed with care. Natural light, Rose Design & Crème Studio interiors, single-color palette, parquet floors, soundproofed windows. Good for one or two nights if you're mainly out exploring.
Queen or 2 single beds · 17 sqm
Comfort Room With a View
Slightly smaller than the standard Comfort Room at 16 sqm, but with the payoff of city or ocean views. The room that punches above its size because of what's framed in the window.
Double or 2 single beds · 16 sqmConnecting Family Rooms
Two connecting rooms with a combined 34 sqm, ideal for families of 4. Parquet floors, seating area, family-friendly layout with shared access between rooms.
2 double beds or 4 singles · 34 sqmConnecting Family Rooms (Garden Level)
Two connected rooms on the garden level totaling 42 sqm, sleeping up to 4. Private outdoor access. The largest ground-floor option and the best choice for families with younger kids who want easy outdoor access.
2 double beds or 4 singles · 42 sqmDeluxe Room
At 24 sqm and sleeping up to 3, this is the best choice for a trio or a couple needing extra space. Seating area, parquet floors, bathrobes, walk-in shower. More generous proportions than the Superior without jumping to family-room territory.
Queen + 1 single bed, or 3 singles · 24 sqm
Garden Ground Room
A 20 sqm ground-floor room with a private outdoor corner — a small terrace or garden-level space. Perfect for morning coffee outdoors or returning from a surf session without dragging wet gear through the lobby. A peaceful option with direct garden access.
Queen or 2 single beds · 20 sqmSuperior Room
A noticeable step up in space at 22 sqm. High ceilings, vintage furnishings, single-color interior by Rose Design & Crème Studio. Noble materials — wood, velvet — and quality bedding. The sweet spot in the room lineup for most couples.
Queen or 2 single beds · 22 sqmSuperior Spa Room
Same 22 sqm footprint as the Superior Room but with a spa bath — the only room category at the hotel with a bathtub. Bathrobes included. The go-to for a romantic stay or anyone who wants a proper soak after a day on the Côte des Basques.
Queen or 2 single beds · 22 sqmThe Apartment
At 87 sqm with 2 bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, bright living room, private balcony with sea views, and private parking, this is a separate property about 500m from the hotel (near Les Halles and Port Vieux).
