Tourists visiting the coast appreciate being able to easily access information about schedules and tide times at their vacation destination.
The partnership between the Les Marées brand and the Hotel Le Mercedes in Hossegor is a natural fit.
Le Mercedes, a hotel on the southern coast of the Landes
In the heart of Hossegor, the iconic Hotel Le Mercedes stands as a landmark of Art Deco, offering its guests much more than just a simple stay on the coast. With its striking architecture and unbeatable proximity to Hossegor’s attractions, it boasts the best location in town. Shops and beaches are just a stone’s throw away, and Hossegor’s canal and marine lake lie right at its doorstep. The hotel has a loyal clientele, both regional and international. The hotel has recently expanded beneath the pine trees to offer a new wing with 17 rooms featuring all modern amenities for both leisure and business travelers. It also features a fully equipped meeting room, accompanied by a spacious covered outdoor terrace. Locally, it serves as a gathering place for surfers and rugby players…
The Collaboration Between Les Marées and Le Mercedes
The hotel has partnered with Les Marées to integrate tide calendar functionality into the establishment’s aesthetic. The nine-year collaboration with Les Marées, a specialist in tide calendars, enriches the guest experience by combining elegance with maritime utility.
A Fusion of Style and Functionality
Hotel Le Mercedes offers a personalized tide calendar in every room, while the centerpiece for each season takes pride of place in the breakfast room, giving guests a clear view of the rhythms of the Atlantic Ocean.

Benefits of Providing Guests with Tide Tables at a Coastal Hotel
Awareness and Preparation
A tide table is a very valuable tool for tourists who engage in water activities such as swimming, surfing, or fishing. To enter or leave the port of Capbreton, it is necessary to check the tide schedules and tidal coefficients. By providing this information, the hotel ensures that its guests are well-prepared for their days out, thereby maximizing their safety and enjoyment.
Focus on the Guest Experience
This service adds value. It not only reflects attention to detail but also a deep understanding of guests’ needs. It enhances customer service.
Encourages Planning
Guests appreciate the freedom to plan their activities around the tides, without having to rely on hotel staff or their phones 😊. The comprehensive overview of ocean movements and the calendar’s design allow guests to anticipate and plan ahead.
Overcoming the Language Barrier
The curves are educational and easy to understand regardless of the customer’s nationality. They are much more useful than a table full of numbers or a lengthy explanation. Customers who don’t speak French can easily understand the curves and the information, since the calendar is educational. It overcomes the language barrier.
The Calendar Adds Meaning to Wall Decor
Decorating with a tide calendar makes perfect sense on the coast. Decorating with a simple, clear, and aesthetically pleasing illustration is even better. Parents and grandparents also take the opportunity to use it as a teaching tool to help young children understand the tides.
Coastal-style decor
The Les Marées brand also offers illustrations or photographs printed directly onto wood that pair perfectly with the tide calendar. The wood prints add a very natural touch to room decor and create a harmonious palette of pastel tones.
