The hotel has a magnificant setting right in the beach with uninterrupted sea views. It would have been a spectacular hotel in its day, but is a little faded round the edges and could be described as shabby chic. However the staff are very helpful, the rooms clean and the food excellent if a bit pricey. The only gripe I... More

For the 18th birthday of our second daughter it had to be a special location in a special hotel. So we went for St Jean de Luz and Hotel Loreamar as a highlight in our three weeks France vacation. The hotel is beautiful, if a bit posh, breakfast and dinner were excellent (and dinner was not even overly expensive), the... More

From arrival to departure we found this hotel to be a delight. Despite arriving approximately 4 hrs before check-in time our room, which had just been vacated, was ready within 30 minutes. Monsieur Gras, the hotel manager, showed us to our room and was very helpful in explaining the working of the electric window shutters, air conditioning etc.. Our room... More

What a great little town St-Jean-de-Luz is and it is enhanced by an excellent hotel in The Grand. It is a launching pad for the Basque/Pyrenees area. Overlooking and right on the edge of the beach this pretty turn of the 20th century hotel brings back all the feeling of a more elegant era. Decor is in keeping with the... More

A bit expensive for the extras available but worth it. Evening dinner, wonderful menu and food superb (but a very whispering dinning room). A pity we had 2 very cold... More

What a fabulous little place St Jean de luz is and the hotel was perfect

We stayed here for two weeks and were expecting to be impressed but sadly we were not. As other reviewers here have noted, the hotel is a little tired and one would certainly expect more form an establishment of this calibre. On arrival, the reception staff was all very friendly, helpful and welcoming but the “manager” (a short, surly, unsmiling... More

Upon arrival the welcome was warm and friendly. My husband was here for a conference and I was escaping the freezing February weather. The clefs d'or concierge was the first thing that impressed me. You know a hotel with this category concierge is serious. I immediately sat down to breakfast as we arrived early morning and was presented with a... More
