The most beautiful family suite hotels in France

1. Hôtel Barrière L'Hermitage La Baule, pure family luxury by the sea

Facing Europe's longest beach, the iconic Barrière L'Hermitage hotel spa in La Baule (on the Leading Hotels of the World list) combines fresh air, seaside spirit and the art of tribal living. In this legendary palace, generous family suites (from 50 to 100 m²) open onto the Atlantic, subtly blending Belle Epoque ambience and 5-star comfort. Several interconnecting rooms complete the offer to suit all configurations.

The family-friendly hotel leaves no stone unturned for its youngest guests. Its kids' club, Studio by Petit VIP, included in the stay, is designed as a service in its own right, a space where children aged 4 to 12 are pampered and stimulated with artistic workshops (sculpture, photography, cartooning), role-playing and foreign-language activities. Toddlers are catered for at Babiwi (10 weeks to 5 years), while 13-17 year-olds find themselves at Teen's Camp, with a range of dedicated activities including sports challenges, sharing moments and adapted activities. Meanwhile, parents enjoy the luxury in complete peace of mind!

Other family advantages: the hotel is located just across from La Baule beach, for rejuvenating days at the seaside with your family, and has two swimming pools (indoor and outdoor) for young and old alike. Meals are served at the group's legendary addresses: Ciro's, a La Baule restaurant with its feet in the sand, Le Pavillon and its charming garden, Le Bar de l'Hermitage and its cosy lounge... A must-visit address that redefines family seaside luxury.

And a few adorable surprises await young guests on site: plush toys, Minois welcome products, bibs, bathrobes and slippers..

Teens have their own space at Teen's Camp. And the little ones are pampered at Club Babiwi, designed for gentle stimulation.
