A bubble of happiness at the Hôtel Barrière, Le Westminster in Le Touquet

This summer, in July, we were lucky enough to stay at the Westminster hotel in Le Touquet as a family: my wife, our son Achille, aged 10, and even our little dog June, an adorable Dachshund. We simply adored this hotel, which ticks all the boxes for a successful stay.

As soon as we arrived, we were warmly welcomed. Our son had a special treat waiting for him on the sofa bed in his room (which was very comfortable, by the way): a lovely jigsaw puzzle, sweets, a little cuddly toy from Bonpoint, and chocolates.

And even our dog June wasn’t forgotten: a lovely basket, two little bowls, and a bag of made-in-France treats were waiting for her on arrival. The room had a superb view of the park and every comfort was provided.

The breakfast is without doubt one of the best we’ve had in a hotel. Homemade pastries, a generous selection of fresh juices, a well thought-out gluten-free buffet… Special mention for the sweet brioche, a real delight!

The kids’ club is a real plus. The two activity leaders looked after Achille wonderfully. He loved spending time there, but also taking advantage of the games room with table tennis and table football – a real lively place for children (and parents!). We also took advantage of the indoor swimming pool, which was small but very pleasant, although adults only from 7pm.

The Westminster is perfectly situated opposite a magnificent park, ideal for family walks, outdoor games and, of course, walking our dog. Le Touquet is a resolutely family-friendly destination. Many French, Belgian and English families with children stay here. The hotel’s clientele is elegant, but not pretentious.

Everything is within walking distance of the hotel: the baby pony centre (500 m away), the tennis courts (250 m away), the Kids Clubs on the beach, ice-cream parlours, chocolate shops, pretty boutiques… You feel perfectly safe here. It really is a town on a human scale, lively all year round, with entertainment all year round.

We also took advantage of the hotel’s free bicycle loan service. It’s a real pleasure to cycle around the town and the surrounding area in complete freedom.

This stay clearly exceeded our expectations. The hotel is extremely comfortable, recently renovated, and the staff are young, attentive and always smiling.

Le Touquet is an ideal destination for a break, a long weekend or even a real summer holiday. It has it all: the art of living, gastronomy, family activities, sport, relaxation… Thank you to the entire Westminster team for this enchanting interlude. We can’t wait to come back.
