"An hour’s drive from Bordeaux on the Atlantic coast is Pyla-sur-Mer, home to a well-known family-run hotel whose renovations have ensured it stays relevant for a new generation of travelers. Interior designer Bambi Sloan preserved the neo-Basque façade and turned the interiors into a vintage-inspired fantasy, one that wears its modern electronics and comforts lightly. It offers all the attractions you’d expect from a seaside hotel, plus access to the Dune du Pilat, the largest sand dune in Europe. as well as a stylish restaurant and bar, also designed by Ms. Sloan." - Tablet Hotels
