Occupying a Belle Epoque villa and former aquarium with sweeping views of a sailboat-dotted bay, this hotel with 25 accommodations burnishes the credentials of Dinard as one of the chicest beach towns in France. Paris-based interior designer Sandra Benhamou gave the hotel a ’30s retro look with a seaside color scheme of sand, gray, sea foam and green, and the best rooms are the suites, most of which have showers that double as steam rooms. Amenities include a seafood restaurant, seasonal patio for light fare, library, chapel, Aquarium Bar, outdoor lap pool with sun terrace, small gym and spa suite. Guests can also visit the Mont Saint-Michel and other sights aboard the Fou de Bassan, the hotel’s elegant hand-built motor launch.

Attractive décor; idiosyncratic design; friendly service.
The lack of a tub in our suite; the exorbitant 24 euro daily charge for parking.
The restaurant at the Hôtel de la Vallée, a five-minute walk away along a paved path, is a perfect choice for lunch or dinner when you don’t want to drive.
Lowest Rate: Superior Room, $310; Editor’s Choice: Prestige Room with Terrace, $480.
