Grand Hôtel Richelieu

In the center of Arcachon, the Grand Hotel Richelieu stands right by the shore, giving guests immediate beach access and sweeping views of the ocean from many of its rooms.

The accommodations blend modern touches with timeless charm—each space features air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and select pieces of antique furniture, all styled in a contemporary way. Complimentary Wi-Fi keeps you connected throughout your stay.

Mornings begin with a generous buffet served in the dining room, setting you up for the day ahead.

Perched along the waterfront and just steps from Place Thiers, the hotel sits a mere 50 meters from both the casino and the convention center. Traveling couples, in particular, hold it in high regard, giving the location an impressive 9.7 rating for two-person getaways.
