The hotel is located in a beautiful setting by the sea with breathtaking views over the the Bassin d’Arcachon and the dune de Pyla, the highest dune in Europe.
This place is a 1930s Basque-style hunting lodge and oyster farming house from the 1930s, which have been renovated in 2010 by the famous French designer Philippe Starck.
The hotel, the restaurant, the terrace and bar have been reinvented to give an air of luxury and authenticity.
La Co(o)rniche offers 12 rooms nicely furnished and modern decorated with private terrace.
Visitor comments
- "The views! What a wonderful place. Everything is a surprise, the decor, the rooms, the views, the restaurant, the atmosphere... Just lovely and unique! The decor by Starck is worth the trip at least for a drink."- Trip Advisor
- "The location is amazing (the Pyla dunes and the view!) the hotel itself is cool in its 'Starckness' and the restaurant is good." - Trip Advisor
- "Very cool and hip. The view from the terrace was truly glorious as the sun went down and accompanied by cocktails even better" .- Trip Advisor
