Grand hôtel Perros-Guirec ★★★★

What’s not to love about a stay at the four-star Grand Hôtel Perros-Guirec, a beautiful, fully-restored 1914 building with Art Deco flair overlooking the white sandy Trestraou Beach and the wild Atlantic ocean? As soon as you enter the lobby, you’ll be welcomed by a sweeping staircase and chic retro décor.
