    • A gastronomic experience overlooking the Atlantic Ocean

      At the heart of this iconic palace, gastronomy is experienced as a cultural and emotional journey. Each dish tells a story, evokes emotion, and reflects unique expertise. At lunchtime, La Brasserie offers a menu designed as a gateway to haute cuisine: a locally sourced menu that showcases Basque producers, freshness, and seasonality, all within a convivial atmosphere overlooking the ocean.

      In the evening, La Rotonde transforms into a showcase of haute French cuisine. Considered one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the world, it offers a spectacular view of the Atlantic. Beneath its majestic chandeliers, classic dishes are revisited with boldness and precision by Chef Christophe Scheller. From the finest ingredients and masterful cooking techniques to expertly crafted sauces and tableside carving, every detail celebrates excellence and adherence to the traditions of classic French cuisine. The wine pairings, orchestrated by the Head Sommelier, draw upon an exceptional cellar of over 1,000 selections, ensuring a rare and refined experience.

      To extend the experience, Le Bar Napoléon III immerses you in the hushed intimacy of a former imperial office. Royal blue walls, gilded moldings, and a crystal chandelier create a Second Empire setting where history and glamour intertwine. Here, signature cocktails, vintage champagnes, and rare spirits are enjoyed in a warm atmosphere, once frequented by Frank Sinatra and Alain Delon.

      The Eugénie Lounge invites you on a sensory journey between Japanese flavors and exceptional mixology. Its secluded terrace overlooking the ocean, its wood-paneled decor, and its menu created by Jérémy Lauilhé, Meilleur Ouvrier de France Bartender, make it a unique place where sakes, fine wines, and creative cocktails come together with elegance.

      The Salon offers a refined escape at any time of day. In a cozy atmosphere with ocean views, you can settle in for a light lunch, a drink, or an exceptional Afternoon Tea, accompanied by the delicate pastries of Chef Aleksandre Oliver. An ideal place to savor the French art of living in an intimate setting.

      In season, as the sun sets, Le Sunset becomes the chic summer hotspot. Located outdoors above the Imperial Club, it offers a spectacular view of the Grande Plage. There, you can savor grilled meats and fish, seafood, and summer creations in an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, ideal for watching the sunsets.

    Shameful! I wanted to go to the hotel for a drink by myself, but the security guard told me: "You're not allowed to take pictures of the cars." Knowing I was just there for a drink, I found that disrespectful. Then, upon entering, a very nice lady directed me to the Napoleon lounge, where I met the woman who ran the bar. I told her I was there for a drink, and she turned me away, saying: "That's not possible, get out!" I don't understand, because they let me into the hotel, then directed me only to turn me away for no good reason. The staff needs improvement!
