About

Nestled on the Emerald Coast, Hôtel Castelbrac reveals itself in a maritime setting overlooking the bay of Dinard. The hotel, classified as a Palace by Atout France, is ideally located near the beach and local attractions, offering a complete immersion in the region's beauty.

History & Heritage

Hôtel Castelbrac, a Palace recognised by Atout France, is named after a famous explorer, Commander Charcot, whose boat, 'Pourquoi Pas', inspired the hotel's flagship restaurant.

Architecture & Design

The architecture of Hôtel Castelbrac is marked by its integration into the coastal landscape. While precise details regarding the facade and style are being confirmed, we know that the last major renovation was designed to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the building.

The In-House Experience

The hotel offers 24 keys, including 23 rooms and one luxurious suite, spread between the Villa Lord Hamilton, the Observatory, and the Capitainerie. The concierge, befitting a Palace, provides bespoke services to meet all guests' needs.

Dining

Hôtel Castelbrac also stands out for its remarkable gastronomic offerings. The **restaurant Pourquoi Pas**, led by starred chef Julien Hennote, presents modern cuisine adorned with bold flavours. Next door, the **Aquarium Bar** pays true homage to Jules Verne. The **Charcot Lounge**, on the other hand, invites guests to a warm Tea Time atmosphere. The **Pourquoi Pas Restaurant** highlights local seafood, available as the dish of the day.

The spa at Hôtel Castelbrac consists of a swimming corridor, a hammam, and various body treatments. The establishment offers a range of therapies, from full-body massages to scrubs, all accessible by reservation only.
