“Formerly rather workaday and scruffy, the streets that surround Biarritz’s covered market hall and fish market (every morning and full of excellent local produce) have become the trendiest in town, full of little bars and restaurants where locals and visitors meet and chat together (try Café Jean for excellent pintxos and glasses of Patxaran). Here a fine old house has been converted into Hotel de Silhouette, with a light filled ground floor that combines reception, sitting area, breakfast room and bar and leads to an unusual feature amongst the town’s hotels: a lovely green garden. Bedrooms contrive to be both functional and funky, with bold wallpapers and splashes of colour. Those in the roof have balconies, and they all have interesting views, either onto the garden or the market. The private parking is a real bonus.”

They say

“Located in historical Biarritz, the Hotel is comprised of 20 fully equipped bedrooms. With its park, it provides a quiet venue in the Quartier des Halles (the covered market), the centre of local life.

We work to meet high level expectations for authenticity, quality, comfort and calm. A private and secure parking area is provided to our guests. Breakfasts, dinners or afternoon teas can be enjoyed on the terrace by the garden.”
