Grand Hotel de Cabourg, Luxury hotel on the Normandy coast in Cabourg, France.
The Grand Hôtel de Cabourg is a large multi-story hotel with a pale yellow facade and a dark gray mansard roof, its roofline carrying the gray capital letters "GRAND HOTEL". Dormer windows with small black iron balconies line the roof, and below them arched windows with iron balconies sit in a regular grid above red awnings forming a series of arches. Flagpoles stand in front of the building, rebuilt in 1907 by architects Lucien Viraut and Émile Mauclerc.
A first luxury hotel was built in 1861 beside a wooden casino erected in 1854; the casino was rebuilt in stone in 1867. In 1907 the Grand Hôtel and the casino were rebuilt together by architects Lucien Viraut and Émile Mauclerc. The façades and roofs have been inscribed as a monument historique since 10 June 2014.
Marcel Proust stayed at the hotel regularly between 1907 and 1914, in room 414 on the fourth floor, and used it as the model for the Grand-Hôtel de la Plage in Balbec in À la recherche du temps perdu. The building has also appeared on screen, in films such as La Boum (1980) and Intouchables (2011).
