The stately Second Empire edifice … it’s lost none of its 19th-century grandeur.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Promenade du Clair de Lune runs just below the gardens, leading walkers along the coastline above the yacht club marina.
The rooms
Deep maritime blues and warm sand tones frame sweeping views across the bay toward the historic ramparts of Saint-Malo.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The indoor pool is heated to 29°C and fitted with hydromassage jets looking out toward the sea.
