It is easily recognisable by its façade, its many windows and its magnificent rotunda topped by a dome that continues, every day, to tickle the sky at the first light of day.<br><br>The foundations of the former Grand Hotel were laid in 1859. At the time, the central building housed 120 rooms, 1 restaurant and a lounge. In 1896, the hotel was raised by two floors and had two pavilions. Inside, a ballroom, reading room and conversation room were added to the lounge and restaurant already present. The number of rooms increased to 350 with almost as many employees. It took nearly 40 years (1896) before being able to discern the shapes of a building similar to the one we know today. The remarkable character of its façade and roofs earned it its registration as a Historic Monument in 2000, along with the Grand Hotel and the Casino of Cabourg.<br><br>Now transformed into an apartment building, the former Grand Hôtel de Houlgate offers its residents a place of choice with close access to the beach, the miniature golf course and the town's casino.<br><br>What do Edward VII, Prince of Wales, Princess de Broglie, Princess Orloff and the King and Queen of Naples have in common? All of them stayed in the former Grand Hôtel de Houlgate. But the crowned heads were not the only ones. Marcel Proust also stayed there during his childhood in 1884.
