Le Splendid is the one to book in Dax if the spa is part of your plan, and it cost only a few euros more than our mid-range pick. Skip it if breakfast is a priority, as some guests say items run out or hot dishes arrive cold.

If you care most about a lavish breakfast, read the guest comments below first. And if you want a 5-star experience, note that this is a 4-star hotel chosen as the best upscale option available in our sample.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits on Cours De Verdun. Guests rate the location 9.2 out of 10. Dax Cathedral is about 0.4 km away, roughly 5 minutes on foot by our straight-line estimate.
Guests also describe the setting as central, close to the river, the pedestrian streets and the train station. We do not have verified distances to the station, so check the route on a map if you are arriving by train with luggage. Parking is not listed in our data either.
What guests say
The spa gets the most enthusiastic comments. Reviewers mention a beautiful area with stone vaults, clean pools and direct access from the rooms. The central location is the other big plus.
Breakfast draws mixed feedback. Guests like the quality and variety, but some say items run out or that hot food is served cold. Breakfast is listed as continental. If you are an early or late riser, timing may affect what is left.
Price and how it compares with our other Dax picks
Our reference price was €99.32 per night for 2 adults, about €199 for two nights. It is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
Here the Luxury pick is unusually affordable. Our Best Value choice, ibis styles Dax Centre, was €95.46 a night and scores 8.1. Our Budget choice, Hotel Thermes Les Ecureuils-Dax, was €82.60 and scores 8.2. For about €4 a night more than the ibis styles, Le Splendid gives you a higher score, a fourth star and a spa.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 3 eligible hotels in Dax, a small sample. Le Splendid ranked first on guest score among them. Our Luxury rule favours 5-star hotels and accepts a 4-star fallback only if it scores at least 8.5, which this one does.
The 2,459 reviews give the score a solid base, and the spa is the clear reason to choose it.
