Hôtel Barrière L'Hôtel du Golf

Set on high ground above Deauville with sweeping views over the Normandy countryside and coastline, this hotel sits directly on the Golf Barrière Deauville estate, making it a genuine stay-and-play golf resort rather than a town hotel with a course nearby. The 27-hole layout is open and rolling, with wide fairways but enough elevation change and wind exposure to keep mid-handicappers thinking about their approach play. The hotel itself has a classic, understated grandeur, with comfortable, well-sized rooms, many overlooking the course or countryside. There is a good restaurant, a terrace bar, seasonal outdoor pool and a spa for downtime between rounds. Deauville's town, beach and restaurants are only a short drive away for evenings when a change of pace is welcome.
