MERCURE GRAND HOTEL LE TOUQUET 4*

Unlike many of the traditional Le Touquet hotels, the Mercure Grand is a modern construction, designed and decorated in an edgy, contemporary style. There are 132 spacious bedrooms in total, all of which are well appointed, and are sure to provide a comfortable, relaxing stay during your golf break.

Notable features are satellite television, mini-bar, safe deposit box and internet connection. The hotel is located in the heart of a charming forest, but still provides easy access to Le Touquet's considerable attractions and famous golf courses.

The Mercure Grand is close to the Accor Thalassa institute, where hotel guests can enjoy a heated indoor swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, solarium and a wide range of luxurious beauty treatments.

The Restaurant Grand Hotel has a sumptuous gourmet menu, while the on site Sea Snake Bar is a great late-opening meeting point and watering hole.

Le Touquet's gastronomic options are outstanding; Perard claims to be the home of fish soup, while Flavio's is one of the town's institutions, where specialities include slow-cooked pig trotters and foie gras au sauternes.

If you fancy a flutter, head to Casino du Palais or Casino le Touquet.
