What they say

Michelin
This luxury hotel faces a rose-filled park on one side and the mountains on the other, so all of its bright, modern guest rooms offer views.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Boulevard des Pyrenees sits a short stroll away, leading to the castle where King Henry IV was born.

The rooms
Bedrooms look out over the park rose gardens or the Pyrenees, and selected rooms open onto private balconies.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Large arched windows bring daylight into the 15-meter heated pool, which looks out onto the greenery of Parc Beaumont.
The gym and spa
The top-floor gym opens onto a terrace facing the Pyrenees. A Finnish sauna and bubbling hydromassage bath sit below.
Restaurant
Le Jeu de Paume
Chef Alexandre Paget prepares seasonal Southwestern French dishes under tiered chandeliers, and tables spill onto a shaded park terrace.
At the table
Le Grand Prix takes its name from Pau's historic car race, serving evening cocktails on a shaded park terrace.
How it began
The Gaillac family built the hotel in 2004, shaping its concave facade to echo Pau's historic Winter Palace.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
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.
Heritage
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.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
