Le Bristol Hotel

Hôtel Bristol Le Touquet Paris-Plage sits in the town centre, a few metres from the beach and within easy reach of the courses around this established French seaside resort. This three-star hotel has 47 rooms in a renovated early twentieth-century building, giving a golf break a relaxed base between rounds and evenings in town. Golf du Touquet’s La Mer and La Forêt are among the courses paired with stays here, while Hardelot, Belle Dune and Wimereux provide several worthwhile options for a longer trip.

La Mer is the round for players happy to work the ball in the wind. The par 72 measures 6,275 yards across dune ground, where sound distance control on approaches matters as much as driving. La Forêt provides a change of mood, threading through pine woodland more than a century old and enjoying greater protection from the coastal breeze. At Hardelot, Les Pins follows Tom Simpson’s 1934 woodland routing, while the par 71 Les Dunes uses the natural folds of its terrain. Belle Dune adds links-style golf, and Wimereux stretches to 6,726 yards for a par 72 with Channel views.

Accommodation ranges from 16 to 18 square metre Economy rooms to Executive rooms exceeding 22 square metres, with doubles and twins throughout. The Family Suite sleeps four in separate double and twin bedrooms accessed from a shared corridor. Every room has Wi-Fi, satellite television, a desk and private bathroom, and some have balconies. Bar l’Ascot, the fireplace lounge and the seasonal patio terrace suit a quiet drink after golf, while breakfast can be served in the room. Reception runs around the clock, and limited private parking, including an EV charging point, needs reserving ahead. Calais is less than an hour away for Eurotunnel travellers.
