Accommodation at Hotel Barriere Le Westminster

Opened in 1928, the hotel was named after the Duchess of Westminster, and was a meeting place of the great and the good of Paris, Northern France and even Britain in its early days. None of the glamour has been lost today, as the Westminster is still one of the most desirable hotels in Le Touquet.

The 115 bedrooms are beautifully appointed, and are designed to marry the principles of traditional style and modern functionality. Striking pieces of period furniture are dotted throughout the hotel, including a number of chairs designed by Jules Leleu, a master of the Art Deco period.

This special hotel is a classy central option for a golf holiday, where you will enjoy the grandeur that first put Le Touquet on the map.

Hotel Westminster has its own swimming pool, while the nearby beach is the place to try a wide range of water and adventure sports.

The meeting point for Tony Blair and Jacques Chirac during the Franco-British summit, Hotel Westminster has welcomed some famous names in its illustrious history; notable visitors include the Prince of Wales in the early days, while subsequently Marlene Dietrich, Winston Churchill, Sean Connery have stopped by.

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.
