In the middle of the 19th century, when the wife of Napoleon III, Empress Eugenia de Montijo discovered Biarritz, she fell in love with it and its 6 kilometers of sandy beaches. She decided it would be the perfect place to build a sea-side palace to be used as a summer residence. The palace that she built is today known as the Hôtel du Palais.
The construction of this immense palace started in 1855, however, when the dynasty fell apart in 1870, the future of the Hôtel du Palais became uncertain. The government seized most of the valuables and finally in 1880, the Empress left Biarritz and the palace was sold. Shortly afterwards, it was transformed into a luxurious hotel-casino.
Unfortunately, after World War II, the hotel had to close down for some time and it was only with the help of the mayor, who organized a campaign to raise money for the rehabilitation of the building, that it could be reopened.
