Hôtel Richelieu is a beautiful old hotel that was built in the 1860s. It has lots of great amenities, and is in the heart of the activity in Arcachon. The hotel is showing its age a little bit, but it is well maintained, clean, and well-appointed.

A very unpleasant experience
Terrible parking experience & ordered to vacate hotel guest parking whilst taking a cafe coffee 5m from my parked vehicle directly in front; having driven 400km Was told 2 minutes you go !!! This is a no go hotel with reception problems & it shows in the aggressive staff attitude as to telling you what to do. I avoided breakfast & departed early morning yet they still tried to charge breakfast at checkout I would not stay here ever again
