Rooms + Suites

Elegant Breton decor complete with seaside-inspired furniture.

All 200 recently renovated guest rooms and suites at L'Hermitage La Baule feature expansive windows facing the ocean and surrounding countryside, for an intensely replenishing stay in a stylish seaside resort. Sea blues and sandy whites are woven throughout elegant Breton decor complete with seaside-inspired furniture and light breezy fabrics. We especially adore the Sea Prestige Junior Suite; a nautical atmosphere and a panoramic view make this 538-square-foot suite truly gorgeous. With a stunning bedroom, bathroom, and bright lounge area with a sofa bed, it can accommodate up to four people.
Pool + Spa

Ideal for energizing morning laps or a moment of calm after a workout.

At L’Hermitage, swimming is a refined art. Nestled in the heart of the hotel, the indoor pool offers a soft, tranquil setting. Connected directly to the fitness center and heated year-round, it's ideal for energizing morning laps or a moment of calm after a workout. When the sun rises over La Baule, the year-round outdoor pool transforms into a true retreat. Surrounded by an elegant terrace, it’s perfect for lounging in the sun or taking a refreshing dip in the heated water.

Tennis and golf for all ages and levels.

Equipped with cardio-training equipment, the Hôtel L'Hermitage fitness center is open twenty-four hours for hotel guests. A sauna and hammam complete the wellness experience—an invitation to unwind in style. A stone’s throw away, the Tennis Country Club Barrière La Baule – one of the best clubs in France – combines fitness and relaxation with twenty four tennis courts, two beach tennis courts, and four padel tennis courts.

Additionally, the nearby Golf International Barrière La Baule features three golf courses and forty-five holes, a training center for all levels, a Club House overlooking the greens for lunch or a drink, and a Pro-shop. The training center, The Barrière Golf Academy, is run by Julien Xanthopoulos and offers a wide range of formulas adapted to all ages and levels, with varied programs for both beginners and those wishing to perfect their game.
Restaurant + Bar

Perfect for lingering apéritifs and never-ending dinners.

Facing the Atlantic Ocean, Ciro’s La Baule, sibling of the original Ciro’s in Deauville and newly opened Ciro’s in Cannes, offers refined, seafood-inspired cuisine directly on the beach. In an elegant setting blending lacquered wood, brass, and deep marine hues—designed by Friedmann & Versace—the atmosphere evokes the refined world of a yacht club. With breathtaking views of the bay, this culinary delight is a must for lovers of gastronomy and exceptional panoramas. Le Pavillon, set within the lush winter garden, enchants with seasonal French fare both indoors year-round and al fresco in the summer. A timeless garden with lingering apéritifs and never-ending dinners, dishes here celebrate the magic of the Guérande region.

An extension of the hotel's grand lobby, the Les Evens Bar expertly marries the traditional look of a big hotel bar with comfortable modernity. Enjoy the aromas of a grand cru wine as you sink into a small, cozy salon, and admire the décor in the mirrors that reflect the beautiful wooden bookcase. This is the ideal place to meet for a pre-dinner rendezvous or to end the night after a stroll along the ocean.

  • Who's it for?
    Perfect for families and couples alike, L’Hermitage offers an endless array of activities, wellness, shopping, sports, and of course culinary excellence. We love pairing it as a duo with Paris or even a trio with Paris and the Loire Valley.

    Just three hours from Paris by train, L’Hermitage’s enviable beachfront location, just steps from the shore and a short stroll or cycle to the town’s charming harbor, invites both discovery and relaxation.
