Frommer's Review
This is the most famous hotel in Deauville, with a legendary chic that dates back to the Edwardian age. The Anglo-Norman design includes half-timbering, dovecotes, turrets, and gables; the 1912 building resembles a cozy but stately English country house. A renovation in 2002 updated all the rooms, public areas, and security systems. Because of its extensive facilities for children, including a nursery and babysitting (10€-13€/$13-$17 per hour, per child), it attracts upscale families with children -- although that doesn't interfere with the hotel's image as a chic nest for Francophone celebrities. During the Deauville Festival of American Film, it attracts French stars, the press, and jury members. Originally built to house well-heeled gamblers from the nearby casino, it continues to draw the gambling crowd today. Bathrooms are sumptuous.
