Hôtel Richelieu is a beautiful old hotel that was built in the 1860s. It has lots of great amenities, and is in the heart of the activity in Arcachon. The hotel is showing its age a little bit, but it is well maintained, clean, and well-appointed.

Exceptional service. The staff was lovely. The view from our room was amazing. A beautiful location and perfectly settled into a very fancy shopping district. So glad we stumbled along this hotel.

There was construction in the street so no hotel parking was accessible. We had to pay at a public parking 10 min walking from the hotel.

Terrible parking experience & ordered to vacate hotel guest parking whilst taking a cafe coffee 5m from my parked vehicle directly in front; having driven 400km
Was told 2 minutes you go !!!
This is a no go hotel with reception problems & it shows in the aggressive staff attitude as to telling you what to do.
I avoided breakfast & departed early morning yet they still tried to charge breakfast at checkout
I would not stay here ever again

We have stayed on all kinds of accommodations on our travels. We can honestly say that this hotel is our favorite on this trip. Our room was ready and AC was on when we checked in 3 hours early. Jessie on the front desk was very welcoming and helpful. Our room has all the touches of a luxury hotel. We seldom recommend hotels but we can say that you get your money’s worth staying here. Location is perfect, you can walk to restaurants and the pier . Our room had a sea view and sunset was amazing. All the staff were very friendly and ready to help. Keep up the good work.

Tres bon buffet pour le petit déjeuner.

The room was clean, with hood amenities, refurbished and modern although a bit quirky - toilet straight onto the room and not in the bathroom - and exiguous entry to the room.
The hotel is well located in the center of Arcachon and overlooking the jetty for a sea view room.
Unfortunately, the area attracts a lot of young people who decided to party in front of the jetty the whole night long and no one to stop them...

The hotel is ideally located in the city center, by the beach. The room was quite spacious and with a nice little balcony. Comfortable bedding and good bathroom. Breakfast was great, with fresh bread, croissants and juice, for a very reasonable price.
Be aware that the hotel doesn’t hold luggage due to Covid restrictions. Inconvenient but understandable, except that it would have been nice to be warned at check in - during which staff forgot to wear a mask, although there is a protective glass -, to write it on a sign (other hotels provided the service during our trip), to update their conditions on the booking websites or at least to help us find an alternative since we were stuck with our bags at check out.

We had great stay and even returned a few days later for an additional stay. We had a quadruple room with all amenities we needed. All very clean, lovely entrance, just a few steps to the beach and perfectly located in Arcachon. You may even have a free parking lot in front of the hotel. Our best hotel on our France road trip!

Great location, priced well and close to the beach. Parking is tight and limited but that is not a problem with a small car. Parking available close by for a fee but if you dont mind walking 8 minutes free parking is available in the Parc Mauresque or near the school on Cours Tartas.

We are a family of 4 and had a lovely 1 night stay in the quadruple room. The beds were very comfortable, the room was beautiful and the staff were extremely helpful. The only negative was the parking situation as there are only 10 spaces in the hotel car park (which was small & tricky to access) and Arcachon is a very busy town with limited places to park. However, we were given a ticket by the hotel that allowed us to park for €15 per 24 hours in a nearby multi-storey car park. Having said that the location of the hotel is perfect (right next to the beach) and within easy reach of various shops, cafes and restaurants.

Gorgeous hotel on the seafront and in the hear of town close to shops and restaurants. My sea front view room was very well appointed, with a balcony I could sit on. The bed was super comfortable and it was great to wake up to a view of the beach and sea. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Loved the location right in the heart of the action and it was right next to the beach. The air conditioned room was comfortable and nicely decorated! Wished there was a refrigerator in the room though for the yummy things we found at the farmers market but were not yet ready to eat. But I would stay here again for all the other reasons listed above.

We stayed just one night. The hotel is very nice and conveniently located and the staff are very pleasant. The room was a bit small but for 1 night it was fine. The problem was that we were there on a wet and windy day/night and they have shutters on the outside of the windows which rattle in the wind and are very noisy whether up or down. So no sleep was had because the noise of the shutters kept us awake. No wonder they supply earplugs in the room! Also the bed wasnt very comfortable and seemed to slant down to one side.
