Regina Experimental Biarritz: a 5-star escape by the sea
x / y
Standing on a cliff above the ocean, along the coast road from Anglet to Saint-Jean de Luz, our luxury spa hotel in Biarritz is an imposing Belle Époque building overlooking the bay, transformed by designer Dorothée Meilichzon as a nod to its history and legendary seaside resorts.
With a monumental 15-metre-high atrium, huge bay windows look out to the sea, an Eiffel glass roof and numerous Art Deco details, Regina Experimental is an emblematic example of Belle Epoque architecture in Basque country. The decor of the 5-star hotel has been completely restored by designer Dorothée Meilichzon, revisiting the luxury of seaside living in Biarritz. Several small lounges now welcome guests under the large glass roof in a softly lit space punctuated by dark greens and reds, blues and sandstone, ceramics and natural tones. Reinventing the score of a 1920s cocktail piano bar, sofas play on the shapes of the Itsasoan footbridge in Guéthary, creating numerous intimate spaces with hanging paper lamps by Ingo Maurer and Anthony Dickens.

About
A hotel comes to life
A seaside resort on the shores of the Atlantic. An air of elegance, a touch of drama, a nod to a bohemian surf lifestyle. Through our doors, in praise of the beauty of the Belle Epoque as seen through the eyes of designer Dorothée Meilichzon. A tower glass ceiling sheds natural light on a grand atrium. Organic shapes echo the outdoors: the curve of the sea, the shape of the Itsasoan footbridge. Behind 72 doors, bedrooms and suites emerge as a tribute to coastal history. Downstairs, a restaurant and cocktail unfold revealing bold reds and crisp whites. Just beyond our doors, the waves of the sea offer a steady soundtrack.
