Hôtel de Silhouette
Across the street from Les Halles market, this four-star boutique hotel hides a shaded garden behind its street front, with a courtyard restaurant, a garden bar and stylish rooms a short walk from the beach.
The story
Hôtel de Silhouette sits in Biarritz's Quartier des Halles, surrounded by cafés, shops and the food market, with the beaches and the clifftop walking path within easy reach on foot. Behind the building, a garden with a laid-back French countryside feel serves as a quiet retreat from the busy streets. It has a garden bar for a book and a drink, a tree-shaded courtyard restaurant for breakfast and lunch, and occasional live art and music. Rooms pair classy, modern decoration with well-chosen gadgets: Dyson hair dryers, Smeg kettles, Marshall speakers and Ortigia toiletries. Newer suites sit in the Maison, a separate building moments from the main hotel with its own secure entrance and lounge, fitted with palm-leaf ceiling fans and waterfall showers. Some rooms have balconies or terraces looking over the town's rooftops.
