Hôtel Castelbrac

Castelbrac, soul heaven
Castelbrac was built on a cliffside as close to the sea.

“La Villa Bric à Brac”, which became the Castelbrac Hotel in 2015, reveals an exceptional history. Built by the English Faber family who founded Dinard, the villa has seen succession for 130 years, starting with an English colonel, a hero of the Crimean War - Robert William Hamilton. Then came the cream-of-the crop of the French National Scientific Research Museum of Natural History - Commander Jean-Baptiste Charcot. The pride of the founders of this seaside resort and marine station, the great history came through the gates of Castelbrac. More than a hotel, it is a place of memory and renewal.
From the Superior Room to the Prestige Terrace Suite, all our rooms open into the sea and offer the same comfort and top-of-the-range equipment. Most of them have a private terrace, some are also available for people with reduced mobility. Others rooms have a private corridor, which allows to communicate between the different rooms, which is perfect for families.
