About this hotel
General information
Le Royal was built in 1896 in the then-fashionable neo-Norman style, next to a park of old pines. Its interiors are the work of French designer Jacques Garcia: antique and contemporary furniture, warm drapes, mirrors of unusual shapes and flower arrangements bring together classical grace and a sense of home, while the windows frame the park and the ocean. The mood is southern Brittany with a touch of British reserve and belle époque charm.
La Baule is known for its thalassotherapy centres, and one of the best known, Thalgo La Baule, adjoins the hotel. Beyond it there is the Royal-Thalasso Barrière health club, two restaurants and a bar, an outdoor pool and a club for the youngest guests. Two function rooms hold up to 100 people, and the Casino Barrière de la Baule is a few steps away.
