Presentation

Rediscovering La Guitoune, the iconic establishment of Pyla-sur-Mer, you are invited to experience something unique. Recently renovated with meticulous care by architects Ducos and Rougier, and enhanced by decorator Bambi Sloan, this mythical hotel offers an unforgettable stay, combining the charm of yesteryear with modern comfort.

Located just steps from the beach and in the immediate vicinity of the Dune of Pilat, La Guitoune offers an ideal setting for everyone, whether you are on a business trip, family vacation, romantic weekend, or friendly reunion. The establishment has 24 elegantly appointed rooms, some equipped with terraces or balconies, allowing you to fully enjoy the sea air and breathtaking views.

The interiors, designed by Bambi Sloan, are a celebration of vibrant colors and vintage furniture, creating an atmosphere that is both warm and lively. Each space in La Guitoune reflects a rich history, a vibrant tribute to the 40s to 70s, when this hotel was the beating heart of social life in the Arcachon basin.

For moments of relaxation, the two lounges and the large terrace with multicolored umbrellas welcome you. Whether for sipping a cocktail, enjoying a tea, or simply diving into a good book, these spaces are designed so that everyone can find their haven of peace.

Dining is at the heart of the experience at La Guitoune. The restaurant, led by chef David Ezequiel Cohen, offers authentic cuisine, highlighting fresh and local products. You can enjoy seasonal dishes, whether a light lunch or a more elaborate dinner. Service is available from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm for lunch and from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm for dinner, with opening adjusted according to the season.

The hotel bar is another highlight, staying open until 2 am during the summer. It offers a music-hotel experience where tapas and cocktails blend with a varied musical selection, reflecting the establishment's friendly and open atmosphere. It is a perfect place for lively evenings or casual meetings.

The hotel also offers a Tea Time space, where you can relax with ice creams or sorbets during the summer, and enjoy coffee and tea during the cooler months. This attention to detail makes La Guitoune a place where every moment of the day is designed for the comfort of visitors.

For those coming for work or wanting to organize events, La Guitoune offers a private room accommodating up to 30 people, ideal for seminars, meetings, or private events.

The garden and outdoor terraces invite relaxation and delight the eyes, enriched by lush vegetation and the elegant architecture of the region. The hotel is located in an environment that promotes outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and horseback riding.

La Guitoune, with its free parking and practical services such as Wi-Fi, room service, and seminar facilities, meets the needs of modern travelers while preserving the charm and hospitality that have built its reputation.

For those planning to organize larger events, such as a wedding, the hotel offers the possibility of privatizing the bar, restaurant, lounges, and terrace to host up to 100 guests. The proximity to the beach offers an exceptional setting for unforgettable memories.

After a day rich in discoveries or festive evenings, find the comfort of your room, where white dominates, creating a haven of peace contrasting with the colorful common areas. Each room is equipped to ensure optimal rest, with superior quality bedding and modern facilities.

If you have time to venture outside the hotel, Pyla-sur-Mer is full of treasures to explore. The Dune of Pilat, the highest dune in Europe, offers a spectacular view of the region and is a must-see for nature lovers. You can also visit the Arcachon Basin Zoo or practice golf at Max' Golf for enriching local experiences.

For dining, be sure to visit local restaurants where you can savor regional specialties. The restaurant Le Pyla, for example, is renowned for its fresh seafood and sea-inspired dishes.

Whether you come to La Guitoune for the charm of its accommodation, the quality of its cuisine, the originality of its ambiance, or the beauty of its environment, your stay promises to be memorable.
