La Guitoune

An iconic French holiday resort, Plya Sur Mer has long been a family favourite. Charming, with gorgeous views onto the sweeping Atlantic Coast, this is one of the most beautiful regions of France. Discover this idyllic setting and stay in the eclectic La Guitoune hotel, famous during France’s interwar heyday. Daringly reinvented by the designer, Bambi Sloane, the hotel has kept the period charm, with a modern update. Think lobster carpets, leopard rugs and brightly coloured walls, all in a uniquely architected property.

Nevertheless, the hotel doesn’t compromise on comfort and elegance for style. After a busy day exploring the local area and soaking up the Atlantic sunshine, the colourful kitschy rooms are the perfect place to return to. Sloane has paid intense attention to detail, utilising motifs dating from 1940s, and archived posters, harking back to this vintage French era. Embrace the quirky, stylish design and revel in the pops of colour, all paying a brilliant homage to the hotel’s illustrious past.

Revel in the fantastic design of the communal areas, such as the delectable restaurant and bar, where you can enjoy an array of delicious foods. In the fantastic restaurant, you can sample the lobster roasted in butter in the classic bistro style, a regional favourite. The hotel also offers tapas style dining throughout the day, which you can enjoy in the restaurant or on the terrace. Of course, a trip to France would not be complete without some delicious desserts, and at teatime you can enjoy an array of delicious pastries, ice creams and sorbets, perfect as an afternoon treat.

Enjoy a trip to a quirky reimagining of the French heyday, and marvel at the stunning design of this fun and elegant hotel, in the gorgeous Pyla Sur Mer.
