There's much more to France than Paris—from the fairy-tale châteaux of the Loire Valley to the lavender fields of Provence, and the French Riviera's celebrity-studded beaches. World-famous gastronomy and fine wines provide the perfect complement to the country's alpine views and architectural masterpieces.

Could not fault the service and the friendliness of staff. Thank you for making our stay so memorable. We will definitely be back. We had a great room on the fifth floor that looked over to the promenade and the sea. Even at dinner the staff were able to give us one of the front tables that overlooked the water making for a truly memorable night. Thanks to all the staff at the Hyatt Regency, great service all round.

World class hotel on the Bay

Reviewed By eatlocal1ofakind

This is a beautiful hotel located on the beach facing the Channel. They have terrific restaurant with view, service and top notch food. The windows face the sea. Be sure to get a room that faces the water. Watch the sunrise, the sunset, the wind surfers, and the tide coming in and out. A very manageable walk along the water to the village of St Malo or on the side streets lined with wonderful restaurants.

Reviewed By kkbirds

No really. I've stayed in 4-5 hotels in Arcachon now, and this is my new favourite! I questioned if I wanted to spend the extra for a sea view and I'm SO glad I did. Really great to sit on that terrace and stare at the sea while working, having morning coffee, etc. Rooms are large, beds are comfortable - dark and quiet for sleeping. Lots of little touches like bottled water by the bed, outlets / plugs in the right place, good toiletries, soft towels, fridge (for chilling rose wine of course :) Staff are lovely, breakfast was good. Parking is 17 euro a day and underground if you need it. LOVE! I'll be back.

Lovely Saint-Malo Hotel

Reviewed By trvlr50

This hotel is well situated facing the ocean allowing for a nice walk on the beach, a stroll into town or a great workout along the ramparts. I would highly suggest booking a room on the top two floors. We were on the second floor and although our visit was not during a busy time/season, I can see where things could be noisy during the summer. The street below is well traveled. I am giving this hotel 4 stars because while very nice, there is room for improvement. Room size was nice with enough space to hang and store clothing and bed was very comfortable. Our room had a separate toilet area but it was almost impossible to use it and be able to close the door. Badly designed and could be difficult for others. Also, they have not upgraded their hairdryers to unattached free-held units. The attached wall unit with the power button you must constantly hold while drying is tiring and archaic. I did appreciate the non-slip tile in the shower. Lastly, don’t waste your money on the breakfast. The offerings are very pedestrian and the croissants were tasteless. Regarding their on-site lounge and restaurant, both are well worth a visit. Wonderful cocktail offerings in the lounge which offers great views. The restaurant turns out innovative, flavorful, creative dishes and the service is impeccable.

Pretty location, not quite 5 stars

Reviewed By Lakeview91

Pros: -Conveniently located between Monaco and Nice -View from ocean view rooms is very good (we stayed in the main hotel building with a complete ocean view room and balcony). This was our favorite part of the stay and saved our experience. Had we not had a view, the rest of the details would have pushed me to want to stay elsewhere because we expected a 5 star experience. Sunrise and sunset were absolutely stunning and we enjoyed both coffee and wine on our balcony every day. Photo of our view attached. -Friendly restaurant staff -Quiet and private -Clean, but worn -Always able to get a nice taxi at a moments notice -The building facade is charming -Private beach front Cons: -The hotel grounds do not compare or come close to their 5 star competitors, such as the Four Seasons or La Réserve. We will be staying at either of those next visit. -Ocean views from the pool are obstructed by the main restaurant. La Réserve has a much better pool and poolside restaurant, and so does the Four Seasons. -Rooms, lobby, restaurant all need updating - furniture, architectural elements, bathrooms all are very outdated.. from the hardware, crown mounding, rugs, furniture, etc… it’s all worn. When you want to stay in a 5 star hotel, these details matter. -Light on staff, especially by the pool Other considerations: -The hotel is just on the edge of Cap Ferrat and is closer to Beaulieu-sur-Mer (right over the border). Not a con, just something to note. -Breakfast was good but way overpriced for the quality and available options -Royal Riviera’s website advertises very well and made us think we would get a 5 star experience, but it’s definitely 4 star.
