Enter into Dinard's seafaring past at this beguiling seafront hotel, each of whose four floors offers an Art Deco–inspired theme that conjures the building's elegant Belle Époque roots. Cozy, carpeted rooms come with quaint touches like shaded fixtures, original art, and wood furnishings polished to a brilliant finish. Some have unobstructed sea views while others come with a private terrace. All the common areas capitalize on its original features to make drinks in the colonial-theme bar or breakfast in the dining room a pleasant experience.

This landmark hotel—frequented by artists and writers such as Picasso and Breton native Max Jacob in the 1920s—has been completely refitted with cool, light, modern furnishings that blend perfectly with its cove and beach setting. Guest rooms are not large, but 11 of them have great sea views. A garden now adorns the property, and a separate house has been outfitted with three independent apartments with terraces for larger groups and longer stays. Though on the small side, they are private and ideal for families. Didier Lecuisinier's menu, served in the glass-enclosed restaurant, focuses on fresh organic produce sourced from neighboring farms and fishing boats.
