Pros:

Location was away from the city center but in walking distance. The Bell eloquent building was recently renovated and very beautiful. Dinner at Frenchies was divine! Rooms were very comfy.

Brilliant. We all loved Biarritz and the Regina Experimental was perfect.
Pros:

One of the best hotel breakfasts ever! Superb quality pastries, range of juices, healthy options, perfectly cooked omelettes. Rooms were adjoining and v comfortable, quiet.
Beautiful hotel lounge area. Staff attentive, professional, friendly.

Cons:

The broken lower lift on arrival. Gave a poor first impression (and then we loved everything else about the hotel)!

Pros:

Beautiful hotel with brilliant views. Staff were friendly and hotel gift shop was brilliant.
Could only be improved by having steamers or irons in the room.

Atlantic Grand Hotel Flair
Pros:

We spent three nights in Hotel Regina. Room was clean with excellent view from third floor to the lighthouse (Phare de Biarritz). Heated pool in front of the building is great to have a quick cooldown before you head to the city center (by foot 15min or take the free bus shuttle in front, every 30min). Breakfast was good with plenty of choices, the room came with coffee machine and water heater. Even though it has parking available around the hotel, it is advised to reserve parking with the hotel to have one of the spaces in front. We can not comment on the Gym or Spa facilities since we did not use them. Front staff was friendly and supportive. And the atrium inside the hotel premise is breathtaking.

Overall we enjoyed our stay, Biarritz is not the cheapest place to be and so is the Regina, but where else to grasp the spirit of this nice French city in a hotel with a clear elevated service and a reasonable pricing? For us it was Regina.

Quick stay
Pros:

Our stay here was part of a larger trip and a transition night. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool area is lovely and the view from our room delightful. The Regina has a wonderful open atrium area. The hotel itself is a grand old lady but she could use a bit of updating and modernizing. A good stop overall.
