L’Hermitage Hotel in La Baule has received “the art of living in heritage” treatment. The mythical palace has been renovated but retains its authenticity, featuring a combination of casual elegance and refinement. A homely and coastal spirit breathe new life into this beach-situated “Atlantic gem”. So chic! Standing on the beach, opposite La Baule bay, Hôtel Barrière L’Hermitage invites you to experience a legendary lifestyle uniting the big blue sea and little extras. Embellished by Chantal Peyrat, the soul of the building remains intact. It offers a homely, relaxed atmosphere by the sea. Decorated in sand and sea shades, the 200 rooms and suites which overlook the ocean and the salt marshes are connecting and some can be turned into apartments.

The Studio by Petit VIP welcomes your children for fun and environmentally-friendly workshops. Get ready to reinvent the sandcastle! As for food, the Eden Beach is dedicated to seafood and La Terrasse specialises in salads, grills and shared cuisine. If you love music and cocktails, Les Evens bar is open until 2am. For well-being, there are two seawater swimming pools, a spa with sauna and steam room, a fitness room and a yoga room. You can borrow bicycles and even learn to play golf and tennis.
