Parking note. Problematic — Parking is expensive (€100 charge), requires valet assistance to open barriers, and guests find it unpractical and poorly communicated at check-in.

Local knowledge

Request a room away from the 7th floor rooftop bar if you want quiet evenings—the bass carries down multiple floors.
Confirm parking costs and whether your room includes beach access before booking; both incur separate fees.
Book the sushi omakase at The Gold (7th floor) with Chef Orges in advance; it's frequently sold out.
