Inwood HotelsMaritime boutique townhouse
The townhouse runs like an easygoing beach house two streets from the bay, built for casual afternoons over aperitifs and board games.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Here, a hotel has a chance to be part stylish urban boutique, part laid-back beach house; Arcanse by Inwood Hotels takes this opportunity and makes the most of it.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Plage d'Arcachon sits two streets away, and the town train station is a short walk down the avenue.
The rooms
Rooms take inspiration from ship cabins with custom woodwork, while the two-bedroom apartment adds a private terrace facing the bay.
Restaurant
Le Repere
Wicker pendants hang above curved blue banquettes, where mornings begin with fresh croissants and a sweet and savory buffet.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
