Hôtel Barriere Le Grand Hôtel Dinard: A Belle-Époque Palace on the Emerald Coast

Hôtel Barriere Le Grand Hôtel Dinard has watched over the bay of Dinard since 1859, a belle-époque palace on the Emerald Coast of Brittany, gazing across the water to the ramparts of Saint-Malo. Long a favourite of British high society, it retains the elegant seaside spirit that made Dinard one of the first resorts of the French Atlantic.

The dining follows the tides. Le George V serves exquisite regional cuisine and perfectly prepared fish with views of the bay under chef Wilfried Lacaille; the wood-warmed 333 Café offers gourmet dishes, afternoon tea and vintage champagnes; and in summer Les Terrasses du 333 Café open onto spectacular views toward Saint-Malo.

For a grand, seaside Brittany stay, Le Grand Hôtel Dinard is a standout.
