About
The Hôtel Beau Soleil occupies one of the most iconic spots in Pornic, at 70 quai Leray, right opposite the Vieux Port and at the foot of the castle. It is the only hotel in Pornic in this exact location, with views of up to 180 degrees over the harbour, the sea and the seaside villas of Gourmalon. This 3-star hotel has 16 rooms. Its small size and its old building make the stay very different from an out-of-town hotel: the main appeal is being able to walk along the quays to the restaurants, the castle, the old town or the station without a car. The hotel offers several categories with very different views. The Standard Ville overlooks the old town. The Standard Port and the Superior face the Vieux Port. The Superior Family overlooks the castle. The Océan and Junior Océan categories combine views of the Vieux Port, the castle and, depending on the room, the sea. Prices start from €77 for a Standard Ville and go up to €170 for a Junior Océan. In 2026, rooms for one or two people cost €77 to €250, and €119 to €274 for three or four people.
