We had never heared of La Baule prior to making the booking and where so glad we have been. The hotel is excellently situated directly on the beach with its own private pool. i have seen other comments about the hotel and would have to disagree. The public rooms are grand and fitting for the hotel. the bedrooms we had... more

Found previous reviewer's comments fair. It is very expensive for individual travellers. Corporate customers must get very good rates - there were three large groups there when we left after a four day stay. Staff were excellent throughout the hotel. They were well trained up to international hotel standards. This was evidenced by the "Saturday Night Experience" - a leak... more

I've got a lot to say about this hotel. I hope to help people not make the same mistake we feel we did. Probably about $1000 worth. My husband and I just returned from a wedding in Brittany. We stayed at the Hermitage for 6 nights. I chose this property because it is the grande dame of them all, the... more

Staff- Excellent Lobby -very good Reception -good Restaurant -good but way over priced Swimming pools poor Bar-excellent but with eye watering prices Service- first class Location- Magnificent. All in all the... more

I have recently returned from a weekend break to this hotel. We had a decent sized room, but the room only had a very small window so not much natural light. The bathroom was of a good size. The public areas of the hotel are nice and quite stylish in a classic manner. We ate lunch in the bar area... more

Stayed for 1 night on 27 July. Had booked a "Double Deluxe sea view" at a price of EUR 555 (approx USD 750) room only (one of their most expensive room category). The room was one of the smallest (approx. 10 sqm) I haver seen in years of travelling all around the world. Absolutely amazing considering the price. Wanted to... more

Easy to find the hotel. It is located next to the beach. Large building, very elegant lounge, it has a nice bar and restaurant. Still staying at the positve experiences, it has a lovely rstaurant on the beach too, good wine list, great food and obviously pricey. It is not the wothiness of the hotel but there are plenty of... more

Stayed at L'Hermitage for a conference and have to say that they did a superb job. The rooms were clean and comfortable with stunning views of the enormous beach. For a 5 star they may be a little tired and the baths a little small. My shower was powerful but had no holder and I had to hold it. However... more
