Top Luxurious Hotels
The hotels on the French Riviera are some of the most luxurious in the world -- here are a few of the crème de la crème.
Hôtel La Pérouse - Nice
The Hôtel La Pérouse may be smaller than some of the other luxury hotels on the Riviera, but it's the perfect place to stay while in Nice. The hotel is located near the chateau, slightly more hidden away than some of the behemoths you'll find on the beach. You will still be close enough to both the Old Town and the beach to get there on foot, and upon coming back to your hotel, you will be treated to exquisite views over the bay from your balcony or terrace, or from the restaurant terrace beneath the lemon trees.
Hôtel Beau Rivage - Nice
If you'd rather spend your time in Nice at the beach, this is the hotel for you! The Beau Rivage is the only hotel in Nice to have its own private beach, complete with chaise lounges for rent. This hotel was once the favorite Riviera location of writers Fitzgerald and Chekov, so bask in the nicois sun and channel these men while you sip a cocktail.
Hotel Juana - Juan-les-Pins
This hotel is located right near a pine forest - appropriate considering the name of the town, which references these beautiful trees. With a view of the Lérins islands, this hotel is ideally situated for some rest and relaxation.
Chevre d'Or - Eze
The Chevre d'Or - Golden Goat - is the hotel with perhaps the most stunning view on all of the Riviera. The hotel is located in the mountains behind Cap Ferrat and Nice, in the mountain village of Eze. The hotel was built within the walls of the medieval village, and so the small, intimate hotel offers all of the charms of this time period's architecture while still providing all the modern conveniences, including three top restaurants.
Hotel Les Roches - Le Lavandou
This hotel gets its name from the rocky inlet where it was built. Its beautiful setting has made it sought after by international filmmaking crews looking for a set that shows off the captivating beauty of the Riviera. With individually decorated rooms featuring antique furniture and gorgeous artwork, you're sure to enjoy your stay here.
Le Cagnard - Cagnes sur Mer
For a truly Provencal experience, try staying in this 13th century castle-turned-hotel. With a limited number of rooms, this hotel, which used to be a part of the Grimaldi fort, offers a unique experience, including dining in the castle guard room and a sea view from the ramparts of the old fort.
