Hotel de l’Ocean is a well-located hotel with a modern France-meets-New-England style. Travelers are drawn to this boutique mid-range hotel for its excellent location in charming Place Sainte Eugenie, right by the seafront. The sweeping La Grande Plage is a five-minute walk in one direction, with the tiny cove of Plage du Port Vieux in the other. The stand-out feature at this three-pearl hotel is the smart brasserie, which has a terrace that spills out onto the square -- an ideal spot for seafood dinners and wine soirees. The 26 cozy, beach-themed rooms are all individually designed to create a homey feel, although there are inconsistencies with facilities -- like air-conditioning and Wi-Fi -- between rooms. Travelers looking for more classic period charm may want to consider Hotel Saint-Julien instead.

The 17-room Hotel Au Bon Coin is an upper-middle-range, family-run boutique hotel with a cozy, modern feel. While it's situated in a residential area, it's still within walking distance of popular beaches, restaurants, and tourist sites. Homey, individually decorated rooms feature contemporary bathrooms and amenities like flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee service, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel has a cozy lounge and breakfast room, a small bar, and a rooftop whirlpool, but few other property features. Downsides?

This quaint mid-range family-run hotel features clean and cozy English-style interiors and exteriors, including an inviting lobby bar area as well as a charming courtyard patio. Features are limited, but a breakfast buffet is served in the mornings (for a fee) in a pleasant dining room. The 21 guest rooms are a bit small in size, but they're clean and tastefully clad in English-style decor. They have flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi, plus many have small balconies.

The 75-room Amarys Inter Hotel Biarritz is a budget airport hotel. This two-and-a-half pearl hotel is simple, clean, and functional, and offers a convenient base for business travelers, as well as leisure travelers needing a stopover close to the airport. Motel-style rooms are clean, and surprisingly quiet given the proximity to the airport, but lack air-conditioning. The most notable features of the hotel are its restaurant -- the food gets good reviews from most previous guests -- and the extensive free parking. The hotel is a good value, but it isn’t the place to stay for a week’s vacation. For something closer to the action, Hotel Au Bon Coin is one of the most affordable options that's within walking distance of Biarritz’s beaches.
