Hotel Du Palais

Few hotels possess the provenance of Hotel Du Palais, constructed in 1855 by Napoleon III and enjoyed as his summer palace on the Atlantic coast for 16 years. Today, the hotel's 136 luxury guest rooms and 22 suites still feature sumptuous second-empire decor and Napoleonic crests on the bath towels, along with the modern conveniences of air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, bathrobes, minibars, and complimentary wireless Internet. The palatial Le Spa indoor pool and the distinctive oceanfront pool with its crescent of cabanas instantly identify this landmark.

Hotel Du Palais facilities for business meetings and corporate events include a boardroom, three salons for 30 to 90 guests, the 300-capacity Grand Salon Imperial, and a 500-capacity rotunda. Culinary incentives include the Michelin-rated Villa Eugenie and the seasonal waterfront Hippocampe.
