At the start of the XNUMXth century, Désiré le Hoc, Mayor of Deauville, wanted to breathe new life into the seaside resort. With the help of Eugène Cornuché, famous owner of the Parisian restaurant "Maxim's" and director of the Trouville-sur-Mer casino, they built the casino and the prestigious Normandy and Royal hotels on the seafront. This type of building then experienced a remarkable boom on the Côte d'Azur, they flattered a wealthy clientele seduced by the luxury and modernity of the facilities and the diversity of the services offered. From then on, Deauville imposed itself as the resort to be in. The whole of Paris, personalities from the world of arts, letters, politics, the press and sport, arrive in Deauville on vacation: Churchill, King Alfonso XIII of Spain, the Prince of Wales, André Citroën, Françoise Sagan…

Hotel Barrière Le Royal Deauville *****
Established according to a U-shaped plan, the reinforced concrete hotel comprises seven levels and draws up its monumental facade, animated by an axial front section and two lateral front sections, facing the sea. The rigor of the elevation is mitigated by the variety of facings (checkerboard and wood panel), protruding elements (columns, balconies, loggias) and openings (rectangular, arches supporting a semi-circular or lowered vault, etc.).
The crossing entrance hall connects the entrance courtyard to the sea side. It is animated by arched arcades, accentuated by twin pilasters (of the same diameter and grouped in pairs) and piers (partitions between two bays) adorned with foliage wrapped around a stick. It distributes the bar and the dining room decorated in Empire style and open to the sea. The entrance on the courtyard side, punctuated by columns, gives access to the main staircase and two side galleries, inspired by the Galerie des ice cream at Versailles. The bedrooms, all with bathrooms, are distributed by a large central corridor. All the rooms have Directoire style furniture.

Cures Marines Trouville Hotel Thalasso & Spa *****
The first casino, inaugurated on the beach in 1838, quickly became too small, the municipality decided in 1864 to build a larger casino on the place it had just acquired (current place of the building). Finally, the colonial-style municipal casino, built according to the plans of the architect Alphonse Durville, opens for the summer season of 1912. These two main accesses house a flight of steps, protected by a large marquee on the town side and by a peristyle ( gallery of columns) beach side. The facades are punctuated by the alternation of pilasters and bays, depending on the level, and are brought to life on the first floor by balconies resting on stylish consoles and decorated with balusters.
In 1927, the casino was redesigned under the direction of architect Georges Wybo with two large games rooms, as well as a central porch on the sea front. Abandoned for the benefit of the Deauville casino, these spaces were finally transformed into a municipal museum until 'in 1956, then in a marine spa for twenty years. The building was renovated in 1992 for the part operated as a casino by the Barrière group. The other part remained unoccupied until 2015. The Cures Marines were then reborn after two years of work to become a 5-star hotel, the work of interior architect and designer Jean-Philippe Nuel, including a bar, a restaurant , a thalassotherapy center and a spa.
