Author tip

If you can drag yourself from the sanctum of your room, within the hotel complex you'll find two brasseries, a gastronomic first-floor restaurant, a glitzy, brightly lit 'fashion avenue' wall to wall with boutiques (Versace et al), and an enormous day spa.

Curious fact

The Grand Hotel building was designed by the same architect as Bordeaux's Grand Théâtre (Victor Louis, of Chartres Cathedral fame), which directly faces the hotel.
