Hotel De La Marine in Arromanches-les-Bains

The hotel's restaurant has received Michelin Guide recognition and serves French cuisine made with fresh local produce. Guests can dine on the outdoor terrace that faces the sea, offering sunset views over the artificial Mulberry Harbour. A lemon tart and pistachio crème brûlée are among the desserts praised by visitors.

Hotel De La Marine sits directly on the beachfront of Arromanches-les-Bains, with panoramic sea views of the English Channel. It is next to the D-Day Museum and within walking distance of the remains of the artificial Mulberry Harbour. The town also offers access to Bayeux Botanical Garden, a 10-15 minute drive away.

The hotel offers 28 recently renovated rooms with satellite television and views of the sea or the town square. Rooms are spacious by European standards and include configurations that accommodate families, such as triple rooms. The absence of air conditioning is compensated by ocean breezes from the beachfront location.

The hotel provides flexible room configurations for families, including triple rooms with comfortable beds. Kids' meals are available in the restaurant, and the staff offers complimentary tourist brochures for planning outings. The reception team is noted for helping with luggage and arranging taxis to Bayeux for tours.

Arromanches is a central base for visiting D-Day landing beaches, museums, and cemeteries, including the British Normandy Memorial a 15-minute drive away.
