Le Touquet, once affectionately known as Paris-Plage, is an elegant seaside town on the Opal Coast where the sea, charm and style come together. Picture long sandy beaches, grand art deco façades and villas tucked away between pine trees and dunes. The atmosphere blends French savoir-vivre with a touch of British elegance. Days are filled with tennis or golf, horseback rides along the beach, walks through the dunes or quiet forest trails. Watersports lovers are in the right place here, the coastline stretches for nearly 10 kilometres. But Le Touquet is more than just the sea. For decades, artists, writers and notable figures have been drawn here, from Winston Churchill and Marlene Dietrich to Sean Connery. They came for the casino, intimate exhibitions, festivals and vibrant nightlife. A refined escape close to home, where you both unwind and indulge.
At your first dinner in the hotel restaurant, we treat you to a complimentary aperitif. In your room, a warm VIP welcome awaits you, fully in Caractère style.
Celebrating your honeymoon? Then a delightful extra is waiting: sweet treats in your room, a chilled bottle of champagne and, if available upon arrival, an upgrade to a higher room category.

British author Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond, drew inspiration from Hotel Barrière Le Westminster during his many stays. On 13 April 1953, he returned to the hotel and signed the contract for his 007 series in the hotel bar. The table he sat at is still there today, a quiet tribute to the moment the world’s most famous spy was born.
The rooms are decorated in a classic yet contemporary style and equipped with modern comforts.
Our personal favourite? The Prestige Room. Spacious, elegant and overlooking the park, the kind of place where you instantly unwind.
The hotel doesn’t have an outdoor pool, but the beach is only about 500 metres away.
Access to the spa with indoor pool, hammam and fitness area is included. Treatments and massages can be booked and paid for on site. With its location, the hotel is the perfect base to explore the Opal Coast and French Flanders.
Children of all ages are welcome.
Best table? Outside on the terrace, with a view of the lighthouse, easily the finest spot when the weather is good.
