Le Café de Paris
Art Deco boutique with a coastal Sarah Lavoine makeover — polished but not stuffy, with a strong sense of place and a front-row seat to Biarritz's best show.
Book a Terrace category room or higher to get a private outdoor space — the shared square view from standard rooms is lovely but terraces are the real prize
Why It Matters
One of the only hotels in Biarritz where 100% of rooms face the ocean — every category, not just the premium ones. The Place Bellevue position directly above Grande Plage is genuinely hard to beat in this city.
Nineteen rooms, all facing the Atlantic. That's the whole pitch at Le Café de Paris — and it's enough. Perched on Place Bellevue, Biarritz's wide pedestrian square directly above the Grande Plage, the hotel delivers uninterrupted ocean views from every single room. The Art Deco bones are dressed up in Maison Sarah Lavoine's signature palette: marine blues and greens against natural oak, ropes, and the 'Bleu Sarah' ceilings. From here, the beach, the casino, the Halles market, and the surf are all on foot.
