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.

There was construction in the street so no hotel parking was accessible. We had to pay at a public parking 10 min walking from the hotel.
