The 5-star Hotel Regina, an illustration of Biarritz's Belle Epoque architecture, transformed by our Eiffage Construction teams

The Hotel Regina is ready to welcome its guests in a brand new setting after 6 months of work carried out by our Eiffage Construction teams. This 5-star hotel, located between the lighthouse and the Biarritz golf course on the cliffs of the Basque Coast, is a masterpiece of the Belle Epoque. The aim of the renovation work, carried out under the guidance of decorator Dorothée Meilichzon, was to restore the panache of this emblematic hotel in a revamped Art Deco style.

Following demolition and clearance work carried out between October and December 2022 by a company commissioned by Experimental Group, the owner of the premises, our teams carried out the renovation of this top-of-the-range hotel by French interior designer Dorothée Meilichzon between January and June 2023.
 
On the programme: 72 rooms renovated in a revisited art deco style, as well as a restaurant, a spa/hammam and the creation of a 160m² meeting room, a boutique and a new cocktail bar in the atrium.
 
In addition to the usual work inherent in renovating a period building, our teams were involved in a number of technical aspects, inviting them to update their techniques and know-how, such as :

  • Limewash paint;
  • Textured plaster applied with a spoon;
  • Mortx microcement;
  • Replacing all the carpets;
  • Working with Japanese straw (a typical wall covering made from a weave of straw glued to paper);
  • Tiling of various sizes and layouts;
  • All the cornices and spandrels in staff;
  • Custom-made sculpted frescoes in staff;
  • Wall coverings in zellige (a type of Moroccan ornamental mosaic).

On the technical side, our teams replaced all the electrical and sanitary equipment, as well as the landing doors. The
