    A short guide to Biarritz

    Home to whaling since the 12th century, Biarritz became a fashionable resort frequented by European royalty in the 19th century. During this time, Empress Eugenie built a palace on the beach, which today is the Hotel du Palais. Biarritz hosts an annual surf festival. It is also home to two waterfront casinos and has a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly centre.

    The Tonic Hotel is nicely situated in the centre of Biarritz a stones through from the beach and Casino. One problem which should be addressed, if you are going for a weekend break, the hotel restaurant closes on Sunday and Monday. This is not mentioned in the hotel details

    Hotel à recommander. Très agréable. Le cadre est de bon goût, la chambre que nous avons eu spacieuse et confortable. Un seul point à revoir ou préciser : le parking gratuit ne comporte qu'un nombre très limité de places. S'il est complet, l'hôtel dispose d'un parking payant. Cela n'était pas précisé dans la présentation de l'hôtel. Heureusement, l'hôtesse a été très commerciale et nous a offert le parking payant (15€/nuit). Le séjour a été agréable, nous y retournerions volontier.
