Grand Hôtel Thalasso et Spa

On France’s Basque coast in the heart of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, steps from St‑Jean‑de‑Luz Beach and the Bay of Biscay. Walkable to the Church of St‑Jean‑Baptiste, Maison de l'Infante and the lively port. A pet-friendly beach hotel conveniently close to Biarritz (BIQ) and San Sebastián airports.

This Victorian 5-star hotel offers 52 air-conditioned rooms with minibars, espresso makers and flat-screen TVs. Expect pillowtop beds with premium bedding, private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads, bathrobes and slippers, plus in-room safes and complimentary Wi‑Fi.

A full-service thalasso spa anchors the property—massages, body treatments and facials—alongside an indoor pool, sauna, steam bath and a fitness center. Concierge and tour desk services, on-site parking and an elevator keep things easy. Kids get a playroom, and you’re a short stroll from sandy, sea-breeze mornings.

Three meeting rooms (conference hall available), a 24-hour front desk, dry cleaning and laundry services, and complimentary newspapers in the lobby. A roundtrip airport shuttle is offered for a surcharge and complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps meetings connected.

Aho Fina is the beachfront restaurant serving French cuisine with ocean views. There’s a bar/lounge for evening drinks, 24-hour room service, and buffet breakfasts served daily from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM for a fee.
