A hotel by the sea in Saint-Jean-de-Luz

It is a haven of peace and refinement, placed with elegance at the foot of the sumptuous beach of Saint-Jean-de-Luz. The ocean bay is revealed from the terraces and windows of the Grand Hotel Loreamar Thalasso & Spa. For the pleasure of the body, the spirit and the eyes, it is an oasis of well-being that we invite you to discover: Built at the very beginning of the 20^th century, at this time when sea bathing seduced the first tourists in search of pleasure, relaxation and care; the hotel underwent a first rehabilitation following a fire. It then went upmarket in the 80s, to undergo a final renovation in 2017, completing its beauty, revealing all the character of the architectural elements of the past. Appreciate the assets of yesteryear: the coffered ceilings, cabochon marbles, the large wooden staircase... The whole is discreet, sober and all in luxury and subtlety.
