Premier Spas & Romance - Summer/Autumn 2008 - (Page 12) Biarritz, France SPAS Hôtel du Palais Once the summer mansion of Napoleon III and his wife, Eugénie de Montijo, today Hôtel du Palais serves as a worldclass retreat for well-heeled travelers in search of a sophisticated holiday and an unforgettable spa experience. A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, the grand Hôtel du Palais stands sentinel over a stretch of glistening beach in Biarritz, one of the most dazzling resort destinations in Europe. France is the birthplace of many innovative beauty products and treatments, and, fittingly, Hôtel du Palais is home to the newly opened, lavish Imperial Spa, which offers a host of restorative treatments with trusted products by Guerlain. This 31,000square-foot facility comprises an indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, two saunas, two steam rooms, eight treatment rooms, a fitness center with the latest cardio-training equipment and a beauty salon with a Leonor Greyl Hair Care Institute. Soothing treatments include massages—sports, lymph-drainage, Shiatsu and Ayurvedic are just a few of the available varieties—and facials, as well as exfoliation, body wraps, back facials, body contouring treatments and waxing. Products by Guerlain ensure an effective spa experience that imparts long-lasting results. When they’re not being pampered at the Imperial Spa or lounging on the beaches of Biarritz, guests of Hôtel du Palais can indulge in a variety of activities on site or nearby. The hotel offers shopping at its signature boutique, and golfers can perfect their game at the on-site pitching green. There are 10 golf courses nearby, as well as horseback-riding facilities, a casino, a bull-fighting arena and THE SPA’S SALON EUGÉNIE opens from the terrace onto the ocean (above). This historic hotel was once the summer home of Napoleon III and his wife Eugénie de Montijo (left). 12 PREMIER SPAS & ROMANCE | Summer/Autumn 2008
