Sofitel Biarritz Le Miramar Thalassa Sea & Spa

A little off the beaten path, but right on the beach and next to the grand hotel in Biarritz. Beautiful views and large rooms.

Very disappointing, the hotel is in desperate need of entire renovation, tiles are falling off the balcony, hinges of glass balustrades are rusty, paint is peeling. Carpet in the corridors is badly stained. The hotel is certainly showing its age and it does not seem to have been touched up or renovated in many many years. The room and bathroom decor is very dated. The furniture is showing it’s age through scratches, torn and stained fabrics in both rooms and public dining areas.Pool needs a complete revamp. On the upside though the staff are very pleasant and accommodating, service is excellent, however, they seem to be very apologetic about the state of the entire hotel. For the price The Hôtel charges which is between 600 to €700 per night it is absolutely ludicrous to what is being offered in five star hotels in many parts of the world. I would certainly recommend to avoid until the hotel will be thoroughly renovated within the next two years as I was told. Subsequently my wife and I checked out much earlier than we had planned.

Weather made the stay fabulous Hotel on pretty beach yet room a bit tired We were given an upgrade to a handicapped room.. not appreciated

We had a fantastic time in Biarritz and thought our stay at the Sofitel was exceptional. Our room had a beautiful ocean view with luxurious amenities, breakfast was delicious and the staff extremely helpful. The location could not have been better.

The Sofitel Biarritz is a modern hotel with a full service spa and a beautiful pool on the shore. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The breakfast buffet is excellent. All of the staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly. The hotel is conveniently located to all shops and restaurents in town. I will definitely stay there again when in Biarritz.

We went there mostly for the spa area. Outdoor swimming pool fantastic; indoor pool soso. Our classic was very comfortable though not too modern. Very little view of the sea. Bathroom very dated and is the only thing that does not feel 5 stars. Breakfast very good though at 30 euros was a bit much. Parking is obligated and is at 30 euros.

Superb hotel for a complete relaxing break away. The Spa is perfect for rejuvenating a very tired mind and body. Saltwater outdoor pool... heated. Perfect. Gym and SAUNA are good. Small but grand for hotel workout. The indoor saltwater pool is Great. Warm and relaxing with Jacuzzi. Rooms are large. Floor to ceiling windows. We had a view of the hotel courtyard and the sea. The beds are extremely comfy. King size. The espresso machine was a bonus. Well needed every morning! Biarritz is Great. Quirky little town with specialty shops and pinxto bars. Steak restaurants a plenty. Great wine and we even found 1 craft beer pub. Sigh.... happiness.

Really good service, location, food and drink. What you expect from a top hotel, would revisit for sure

we hadn't planned on visiting Biarritz, but are so happy we did! was an added stop on a big group trip from Bordeaux to San Sebastian (to escape our haunted castle accommodations a day early, but that's another story). Sofitel was available last minute. Nice facilities and room, though perhaps starting to show some signs of aging. Didn't use the pool, as it was raining, but it looked nice and would be lovely next to the sea on a sunny day (there is also an indoor pool/spa but didn't get to check it out). Good location, about 15-20 min walk from the town and bars/restaurants. service was good - friendly front staff, and concierge gave excellent restaurant recommendations. we also had an issue with a nonfunctioning AC and the staff, while unable to get it to work or find another room in the middle of the night, did their best and brought a large fan as well.

The hotel was definitely over priced, but It is in a perfect location to the beach and town. The service was great and we love the pool area and comfortable beds. The exterior could use a facelift but would recommend hotel.
