WHY WE PICKED THIS HOTEL
We picked ALFRED HOTELS Les Halles because it drops you straight into the best part of Biarritz, right by the market and cafés, with the beach still an easy walk away. Built across three village houses, it has a local, townhouse feel, and La Gambette’s terrace under plane trees and string lights makes post-beach drinks and an easy dinner part of the trip.
HOTEL DESCRIPTION
ALFRED HOTELS Les Halles is a relaxed, central stay right in the Les Halles market district. The hotel is spread across three village-style houses with 35 rooms, so it feels more like a little cluster of townhouses than one big building. Step outside and you’re straight into Biarritz life: market stalls, bakeries, cafés, and the kind of streets where you end up stopping for “one quick drink” that turns into the whole evening. It’s designed for an easy city-beach rhythm. You can do the morning market, head down to the sea, then come back to shower and go straight out again. La Gambette, the hotel’s restaurant, keeps things simple for meals and casual drinks. The reception is 24/7, pets are welcome, and it’s a great pick if you want to be right in the middle of Biarritz.
Our take on the stay
Bob
ALFRED HOTELS Les Halles feels plugged into real Biarritz. Market energy in the morning, beach in the afternoon, then back to La Gambette when the streets start to glow.
