Hôtel La Palmeraie

In high-priced La Baule, this is a reasonably priced charmer. Built in the 1930s and renovated in 2008, it's named after eight large palms that thrive in the garden, thanks to the mild climate. Decorated in festive pink and white, La Palmeraie is near a beach and luxuriant with flowers in summer. The rooms are attractively decorated, often with English-style pieces. Each has high ceilings and dignified (sometimes antique) furniture. The only drawback: The soundproof rooms aren't all that soundproof. Half board is obligatory in July and August; the food, however, is hardly in the league of that at the first-class hotels. The management and staff are helpful and even friendly.
