Hotel des Elmes  

On France's Catalan coast in Banyuls-sur-Mer, right on the beach beside Elmes Creek. The hotel is the only property directly on the shoreline in this area and sits steps from the Aquarium and close to Cave l'Etoile and Jardin Mediterraneen du Mas de la Serre. A beachfront, family-friendly base for exploring the coast.

Thirty-one air-conditioned rooms offer garden or sea views and simple, contemporary décor. Rooms feature Tempur-Pedic beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, minibars, LED TVs and private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads. The terrace restaurant serves deep-blue sea vistas for a relaxed, slightly edgy coastal vibe.

Soak in a spa tub or hot tub, sweat it out in the sauna, or hit the fitness center. Enjoy beachfront access and terrace seating to wake up to sea-breeze mornings and alfresco lounging. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected.

Meeting room capacity for events and a business center on site, backed by roughly 200 m² (2153 sq ft) of conference space. Computer station and complimentary Wi‑Fi available. Onsite self-parking is offered (charges may apply).

La Littorine is a beachfront restaurant serving French cuisine with ocean views and a bar for drinks. There's also a coffee shop/café on site, and buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:30–10:00 for a fee. Alfresco dining on the terrace is a highlight.
