Hôtel Barrière Le Royal Deauville in Deauville

Extraordinary hotel in an exceptional city. A grand hotel with a magnificent history that offers a perfect blend of the classic and the modern. This hotel stands apart for many reasons but two of them are the careful attention to detail at every turn 9 the smallest item was anticipated and available. The staff was attentive and smiling. Warm friendly welcome with bellmen and reception staff. Escorted to our room with wonderful vies of the forever beach. The room was large, expansive with a grand bathroom with a 'to love' shower. Meticulously clean. Breakfast was first rate and well above many other fine hotels with great variety and foods to please everyone. The bar area, the piano music and the drinks perfectly fit the tone of this 5 star hotel. Surrounding the hotel is the very French but oh so welcoming tone of Deauville with Tourville just a short walk away. Excellent local restaurants with strong recommendations from the concierge - loved dinning with locals and few if any tourists at Marion Restaurant and Le Countair de table for two examples. The gem however is the Hotel Normandy. A grand hotel that befits its name and with its sister hotels the Royal and Hotel de Golf, this is a hotel well suited for both corporate programs and high end leisure clientele . 5 star in all respects

it's what I called the perfect place to stay in Dauville, very luxurious, the rooms are absolutly stunning with a délicat linen and towels, the design is subtils and very chic! the staff always there to help, smiling and very welcome. Don't hésitâte to have your breakfast there it's a lot to choose from, and really good and fresh.

A beautiful hotel and the rooms were wonderful. The staff were extremely friendly, professional and friendly. The location was perfect for walking and enjoying the scenery. I would highly recommend staying at this lovely hotel.

Very nice stay in this luxury hotel, kind service and good facilities. Just the freezing of euros 200 per day for possible extra costs is a little bit excessive...

Staff is incredibly helpful. Superb location, just one block from the expansive beach. Rooms and amenities are superb

A fabulous property. In a wonderful location convenient for the town and racetrack. Staff excellent. Good all round. Expensive but quality.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Le Royal as a break from our busy sight seeing itinerary in Paris this July. We soon fell in love with Deauville and its people. The staff is by far the hotel’s greatest asset after location. Kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming, they were a highlight of our stay, especially Fabien at the Concierge desk who offered the very best recommendations on where to eat. I would let him point you in the direction of every meal and cocktail so you can avoid the tourist traps. It was clear that the hotel had once been a beacon of elegance and its rich history permeated every aspect of our experience. When we first arrived, I admit to being disappointed to find the hotel wore clear marks of her age. Distressed paint, aging carpets and dated bathrooms were prevalent and unexpected given they were not reflected in any of the online photography. As an American, distress and age in a building are usually a sign of lack of care and upkeep, but it’s clear that is not the case at the Le Royal, a building whose long history might be reflected in her appearance but whose long commitment to excellence and elegance overshadows the chipped paint. Expectations are so often the thief of joy, and so I suggest you set yours accordingly and then look past these little details to imagine life here during its heyday so you can enjoy both the hotel and the town’s many charms. One other thing worth noting is that we’d come in search of a beach holiday, but the weather was less than accommodating, so pack your swimsuit but make backup plans for how to spend your time. For us, when the sun failed to make an appearance, we enjoyed exploring Deauville and the nearby medieval towns. With its distance just a 2 hour train ride away from Paris, it’s a great place to break from busy city life

We had a great stay at the Barriere Royal. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating. As we are kosher they not only were able to heat up our food for us but picked it up for us since the establishment wouldn’t deliver. The spa was great, breakfast was delicious and expansive. It is right off the beach and walking distance to all the great shopping. The hotel does feel like it needs a refresh - much of the decor is old. Also I was disappointed to have been charged such a hefty fee to get a beach chair given that it is a beach hotel.

I had an excellent stay at the Ryal Barriere. First, I did have a room with AC but it was unrenovated, to be fair. I do think the renovated rooms are prettier but perhaps AC is missing based on some other reviews - they do have both though so it's worth asking. I don't think I lacked anything functionally in an older room. It was very large with a beautiful sea view. The bed and bedding were divine, one of the most comfortable I've experienced. The bathroom amenities are luxurious. Caramels on your pillows as part of turndown service. The staff go out of their way to make sure you are having a good visit (and you don't feel constantly judged or watched). The hotel gives you complementary headphones so you can use at the gym (or elsewhere); I found the gym (as well as sauna and steam room) to be relatively uncrowded. Fabien and Jody and everyone else at the concierge desk are amazing. Mgmt gave amazing welcome gifts, my only request to mgmt there is please don't assume everyone wants wine (or can travel with it)...give people a choice.
