The most sought-after address on the Atlantic coast: a panoramic Starck-designed terrace lit by lanterns at sunset, a DJ at the outdoor bar until 2am in season, non-stop tapas service and views over the Banc d'Arguin. A jet-set crowd of celebrities and wealthy Bordeaux and Paris families. A standing offering of the hotel rather than a dated programme: parties are announced as the summer unfolds.
Restaurant/bar booking all but essential in summer via lacoorniche.com or by telephone (+33 5 56 22 72 11); bar-terrace access subject to capacity; private hire available
