Overlooking the Grande Plage of Biarritz for 170 years, the Hôtel du Palais – once the residence of Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie – is one of the stories from around the world collected by The Unbound Collection by Hyatt. Created in 2016, the collection is comprised of hotels unique in their kind, anchored in fabulous settings with rich histories that inspire travellers in search of authentic, memorable experiences. Among the French highlights in this collection, the Hôtel du Louvre in Paris was also built under the aegis of Napoleon III. Its ideal location between the Louvre and the Garnier Opera House is an invitation to discover the City of Light like a real Parisian. On the Côte d’Azur, the legendary Martinez Hotel in Cannes, enthroned on the Croisette since 1929, embodies the spirit and timeless elegance of the French Riviera.

Elsewhere in Europe, the Párisi Udvar Hotel in Budapest, which once hosted a shopping arcade inspired by the Passage des Panoramas in Paris, and the Great Scotland Yard Hotel in London, former headquarters of the emblematic Metropolitan Police force, are also distinctive destinations for a getaway lasting a few days or more.
