Normandy-Barrière 
$$$$, Deauville
Fodor's Review:
With a facade that is a riot of pastel-green timbering, checkerboard walls, Anglo-Norman balconies, and rooftop clochetons, the Normandy has long been one of the most beautiful landmarks of Deauville. Attracting well-heeled Parisians ever since it opened in 1912 (many of whom appreciated the underground passage to the town casino), it has kept them coming as its grand salons have been transformed by Jacques Garcia -- France's chicest and most aristo decorator -- and now overflow with needlepointed sofas, fin-de-siècle chandeliers, and opulent silks. The lobby is a Belle Époque blow-out, with soaring oak walls, a forest of columns, and islands of comfy, 19th-century-style armchairs. The courtyard is its outdoor version, with a grassy patio surrounded by a spectacular panoply of turrets and balconies. Request a room with a sea view, and don't forget to ask about the special thalassotherapy rates with full or half-days of mud baths, salt massages, and soothing heated-seawater swims. Breakfast is served around the indoor pool. Creamy sauces are much in evidence in the mouthwatering Norman dishes served up in the restaurant, set in a grand hall which glitters like the salons of Versailles.
