Regina Experimental Biarritz

停車位還比較足，裏鎮中心有兩公里距離，離燈塔很近，出門不遠就是海灘，海景不太明顯，比亞里茨大概第二或第三的酒店，停車位還比較足，裏鎮中心有兩公里距離，離燈塔很近，出門不遠就是海灘，海景不太明顯。

Très bel hôtel avec une décoration art-deco qui ne peut que nous laisser sous le charme de cet établissement.

Great service, comfortable room with spectacular view. It’s a 10min walk to the beach and 15 to town. Going it’s downhill (not a significant slope) so if you’re not into walking consider taking the bus to and from (there is a stop in front/near of the hotel). Dinner at The Frenchie (hotel rest) was phenomenal. Food was beautifully presented and the staff would explain every little detail. I would ask them to work on the wine pairings as they were a bit rough. Sommelier and wait staff super duper. Don’t be offended if they ask you if you prefer to speak English. It’s part of the service protocol! Easily would have given a 5 ⭐️ if it weren’t for the bathroom. There’s nowhere to put your hand towel and/or your toiletries. I would suggest the hotel invest in a couple of shelves and extra hooks as there is plenty of room to work with. Wonderful stay. Thank you #amextravel

We come regularly to Biarritz and normally stayed at Radisson. We decided to try Refina experimental, eventhough is a bit out of city center. Actually goes quite fast to walk into the city so we didnt regret our choice. Nice deco and modern touch. We tried the spa which was very professional. Also tried there excellent healthy herbal teas from Mana Bella (which you. can also buy there). Very attentive and service minded staff. We also tried the restaurant Frenchie which was excellent. All in all we truly enjoyed our stay in this hotel. Will come back.

Gorgeous, sumptuous hotel! We spent 10 fab nights here and even in bad weather we could sit in the most fabulous hotel bar and read and relax. Beds are good and the design of the place is just a feast for the eyes! It is a little way out of the main town - about 1km but there is a free bus every half hour N11 although it ends at 7.30pm. We never found any problem getting a taxi back up later in the evening. Loved the pool area and the attendants brought lovely lunches and cocktails on request. We are twice in the restaurant which was exceptional and the one breakfast we had was extensive and lovely too! All of the staff were focused on giving great customer service! Just lovely really and would definitely return.

We stayed in mid September, choosing this hotel from reading reviews, its quiet location and outside pool. Reception staff were all excellent, very friendly and helpful with suggestions and answers to our holiday questions. The hotel building is a stunning art deco design with a spectacular huge central atrium containing many sofas and tables, a bar area that leads into the restaurant area. We sat outside for breakfast ( weather permitting !) and the breakfast quality and varied selection of hot and cold food was superb. The golf room was lovely with views of the near-by golf course with countryside views in the distance. The room was a good size with an excellent bathroom, 2 basins, separate toilet,( + large flat walk-in shower). Lots of storage for clothes, a safe and fridge. Many room options in this hotel- the front facing sea- view rooms are brilliant for example. A large outside pool sunbathing area is an advantage for this hotel. The luxurious sun beds are the most comfortable we’ve used. The hotel location as reviews mention is at the top end of a very long hill from the centre. It takes about 10-15 minutes. 2 walking options; one is to walk along the main road path all the way or secondly to walk down the path for about 5 minutes then take one of the steep wide steps on the right of the main path down to the beach/ promenade and continue walking on a wide flat beach promenade all the way to the centre. ( one note - there is an area near the Hotel du Palais when the promenade goes under the hotel and where the waves come up to this path and the sea does make this part wet when the tide is high and sea is rough). The walk back uphill is a slow hard walk along the main road path or again use the flat promenade then take the steep steps up to the main road path again where you walk for the last 5 minutes to the hotel. The locals mostly cycle using electric bikes - you know why after walking around! There is an excellent free bus (N11) that stops outside the hotel and goes directly into the centre ( the return bus stop is outside too). It’s perfect except that it doesn’t run very late in evening. Getting the local taxis in Biarritz is near impossible - not many and they don’t always turn-up. Also they’ve resisted other competition from Uber etc ( even less of these & again not reliable) so that is a major negative for us in this town. We used the excellent buses and train services ( e.g. direct bus to Bayonne & train to Saint Jean de Luz) . The uphill location could be difficult for some people but the quiet location and the hotel facilities and proximity to the lovely walk to the lighthouse area close by are advantages to smaller central hotels. A luxury hotel with excellent staff. Highly recommended.

Beautiful art deco building with sympathetic, classy renovation. Incredible sea views, a little out of the main town with killer hill on return which didn't detract from our enjoyment.

Beautiful hotel sympathetically renovated in deference to its art deco roots. Up a STEEP hill - end of negatives. No expense seems to have been spared in trying to achieve a luxury guest experience from the decor, in keeping with the art deco theme and the dramatic seascape surrounding the building. Golf course view rooms are good but the sea view is spectacular. Beds are fabulous, tableware tasteful, Alessi kettles, Sjostrand coffee machines, L:A BRUKET toiletries - Classy! Breakfast good and varied. Like all great hotels the staff are amazing, majority are young and excellent at their jobs particularly the cleaning staff and guest experience/reception - so kind ☺️. Merci a toutes et a tous.

There was no bellboy at check in and the elevator from the parking to the lobby was not working so the 90-pound lady receptionist and yours truly had to become weight lifters. The air conditioning didn’t cool the room at all. We received a small refund at check out but that didn’t make up for our disappointment.
