12, rue Tour De Sault, 64100 Bayonne
The Hôtel des Basses Pyrénées is a place where history and modernity meet with elegance. Situated on Vauban's ramparts, in the heart of Old Bayonne, this charming establishment offers a unique atmosphere shaped by centuries and enhanced by thoughtful renovation. Behind its stone walls lie 27 refined rooms and suites, designed to combine comfort and authenticity. The welcome is warm, and every stay promises an immersion into the Basque soul, blending heritage, gastronomy, and art of living.
From the entrance, history permeates the premises. The executioner's tower, a medieval relic that once housed the executioner, gives the hotel its distinctive character. Today, this ancient architecture interacts with contemporary spaces of clean lines, where the original stone blends with modern materials to create a cozy and soothing ambiance. Attention to detail is felt at every moment, from the carefully chosen furniture to the decorative touches subtly evoking the Basque Country.
The rooms offer a true haven where one can relax after a day of exploration. Their personalized decor combines soft tones with noble materials, creating an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. Superior quality bedding, soundproofed spaces, and individual air conditioning ensure peaceful nights. Some rooms offer a privileged view of the ramparts, while the suites, located in the Gallo-Roman tower, preserve the building's historical charm with their exposed stone walls.
Each morning, breakfast highlights local flavors with a selection of fresh, seasonal products. Served in the room, in the lounge, or on the shaded terrace, it invites guests to start the day gently, with regional specialties reflecting the Basque Country's gastronomic richness. Crispy bread, golden pastries, fresh fruits, and aged cheeses make up a generous buffet to enjoy as desired.
The experience extends to the hotel's restaurant, where bistronomic cuisine reveals subtle harmonies between tradition and creativity. In the kitchen, the chef and team elevate local products with precision and care. The large terrace, opening onto a charming square, is a privileged spot to share a convivial moment over a refined dish or an inspired cocktail. The hotel's bar, in turn, invites guests to a more intimate pause, in a cozy ambiance perfect for sipping a drink in peace.
The service, attentive without being intrusive, is an integral part of the establishment's charm. The team is available to meet travelers' expectations, whether it's a recommendation for the city's best spots or a specific request. The reception is open 24/7, and the multilingual staff ensures a personalized welcome for all. For added convenience, the hotel offers a concierge service as well as a luggage storage area, ideal for making the most of Bayonne until the very last moment.

The hotel's location allows for exploring the city on foot and easy access to its iconic sites. Just a two-minute walk away, the Sainte-Marie Cathedral and its cloister provide a remarkable example of Gothic architecture. The Nive River's quays, lined with colorful houses and lively cafés, are perfect for a stroll punctuated by gourmet stops at Bayonne's Halles, where the best local products can be found.
History and culture enthusiasts will also appreciate the proximity of the Basque Museum, which traces the traditions and lifestyle of this character-rich region. The botanical garden, perched on the ramparts, offers a green haven with stunning views of the city. Not far away, the Stade Jean Dauger welcomes fervent rugby supporters for an immersion into Bayonne's vibrant atmosphere.

In Biarritz, the Grande Plage and the Rock of the Virgin offer spectacular ocean views, while the town center's streets invite leisurely exploration between elegant boutiques and gourmet spots.
In terms of gastronomy, Bayonne is full of excellent dining options to enjoy local specialties. For inventive cuisine with Basque accents, the restaurant Chez Txotx offers a fine selection of tapas and pintxos to share. Seafood lovers will be tempted by a visit to Ibaia, while Kapito Café, with its relaxed atmosphere, is perfect for an evening with friends over generous dishes.
