Hôtel Barrière Le Normandy Deauville
Deauville, France · Groupe Barrière · Core Luxury
Eugène Cornuché, once the owner of Maxim's in Paris, opened this Anglo-Norman palace in 1912 with architect Théo Petit, pairing it with the rebuilt Deauville casino he launched the same season. Half-timbered façades wrap an apple-tree Cour Normande; an indoor corridor still walks you straight into the casino. Coco Chanel opened her first fashion boutique on that courtyard in 1913, and the hotel keeps a suite named for Claude Lelouch's 1966 Palme d'Or film A Man and a Woman, shot on the premises.
- 271 rooms
- Opened 1912
