The Top 36 Hotels Near CASAeBOTTEGA

The hotel sits directly on the Casino square, which means the view from certain suites is essentially Monaco's most theatrical postcard. This is a grand palace hotel in the old European sense, renovated carefully enough that the Belle Époque bones still show without feeling like a museum. Alain Ducasse's Le Louis XV is downstairs, Cédric Grolet does the pastries, and the rooftop pool exists for people who have already seen everything else.

Perched inside a medieval clifftop village halfway between Nice and Monte Carlo, this hotel is essentially a collection of absorbed stone houses scattered across Eze, which means your room might overlook the Mediterranean or the mountains depending on luck. The outdoor terraces and two hillside pools make the most of that altitude. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys, and on a clear day the view stretches to Cannes.

Perched at the top of Èze village, some 400 meters above the Mediterranean, Château Eza is a boutique hotel that trades on its altitude and its intimacy. Fourteen rooms vary by size and outlook, from medieval village views to open sea. There's no spa or gym, just a lounge bar and a Michelin-starred restaurant with a terrace that makes the case without trying. A quiet alternative to the grander, louder palaces along the coast.

A pink Florentine villa tucked between Nice and Monaco, La Réserve de Beaulieu holds a Michelin Key and has been around forever, doing the French Riviera grand-hotel thing with 39 rooms and no apparent intention of apologizing for the chandeliers. Belle Époque bones survive intact alongside marble bathrooms and a La Prairie spa. The Mediterranean-view rooms with private terraces make the upgrade conversation very short.

The grand-hotel experience of the Côte d'Azur, as conjured in another century, is still intact here on the Cap-Ferrat peninsula. This Belle Époque hotel mixes the original building with the newer Villa Orangerie, and rooms in the former look straight out to sea. Gardens, a pool, a private beach, and a THALGO spa fill the daylight hours, while the poolside grill and a gastronomic restaurant cover the evenings. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.

The zigzag silhouette on the Monte Carlo skyline belongs to this Fairmont, a 1970s modernist tower that has aged from awkward into something approaching landmark. It's a large luxury hotel, renovated to a polished, if conservative, finish, and the rooms that count are the ones with wraparound sea views. Nobu occupies the building, a rooftop pool terrace sits above it all, and a spa done in white and sky blue handles the aftermath of the good life.

No gilded taps here, which in Monaco qualifies as a design statement. Columbus is a hotel that quietly sidesteps the principality's usual arms race of marble and excess, going instead for clean lines, restrained neutrals, and a residential calm. Suites have actual sitting rooms and balconies over the gardens or sea. The Place du Casino is still close, so you're not exactly roughing it, just sleeping somewhere that doesn't shout about it.

Three historic buildings in the Riquier district near the Old Port, decorated as if Matisse and Picasso had a say in the paint colors. This design hotel runs on the Mama Shelter playbook: rooms graded Small to XXL, pink-tiled bathrooms, whimsical carpets, and a central bar open all day. Weekend DJs migrate to the pergola-shaded rooftop when the weather cooperates, and summer unlocks an outdoor pool, a relative rarity around here, ringed with rainbow daybeds.

A honeycomb motif woven through the interiors is the quiet nod to the name, "the bee," but nothing else here is quiet. These boutique apartments in Nice's old port district go full Pop: raw concrete, naked timber, and primary colors cranked to maximum saturation. Each unit comes with a Carrara marble bathroom, a proper kitchen, and a Bang & Olufsen system. The garden outside supplies herbs to a nearby Michelin-starred restaurant, which feels like a very good neighbor to have.

Built into a cliffside above the Baie des Anges on a site that was once a prison, La Pérouse is a hotel that earns its position the hard way. Most of its sixty-three rooms face the sea, and the brochure apparently tells you in no uncertain terms to book a sea-view room. A pool sits at the cliff's base, ringed by lemon trees, and candlelit terrace dinners happen when the weather cooperates. The old town is a short walk away.

A Belle Époque building a short walk from the Promenade des Anglais, reworked by David Collins Studio into a five-star hotel with an earthy, minimalist interior that somehow makes the ornate bones feel calm. Rooms come with coffered walls and sleek bathrooms; suites get terraces over the water. The rooftop bar with curved leather banquettes and sea views is where everyone ends up, and the private beach club looks like a postcard someone mailed from 1962.

Belle Époque bones on Nice's main boulevard, but step inside and the Boscolo has gone full Mediterranean minimalism, with spare sunny rooms occasionally interrupted by an ornate rococo headboard, as if the renovation ran out of nerve at the last moment. The spa leans almost futuristic. The restaurant handles fresh seafood against weathered floorboards, and the bar has become a reliable stop on the local nightlife circuit with the old town a short walk away.

The Art Deco facade on the promenade des Anglais is original; everything behind it was rebuilt from scratch, which is a neat trick if you can pull it off. This hotel sits right on the waterfront in Nice, with sea-view rooms, generous bathrooms with separate tubs and showers, a colonnaded courtyard pool that functions as its own social event, an indoor pool, and a casino. The crowd tends toward people who knew what they were booking.

The slate-topped dome and Belle Époque moldings place this family-run hotel squarely in Nice's musicians' quarter, the neighborhood named for composers including its own street. Inside, the aesthetic goes Art Deco: gold accents, chocolate browns, high ceilings with original details intact. A rooftop bar opens in the evenings for city views, and guests can use the pool, sauna, and spa at the Splendid nearby. Breakfast leans organic and local.

The rooftop pool is pink, which tells you most of what you need to know about this boutique hotel. A couple of streets from the beach, Hôtel Amour trades Riviera grandeur for something looser: colorful rooms with a mid-century bohemian streak, a restaurant with a Parisian café sensibility, and a private beach club for when the pool gets old. Nice suits it perfectly, a city that's never quite bought into its own glamour.

A Michelin-starred country inn tucked into Mercantour National Park, where the summer terrace looks straight up at the peaks and winter dinner happens under timber rafters beside a fire. The chef grows much of what he cooks, makes his own pasta, bread, cured meat, and ice cream, and runs a daily carte blanche menu built around whatever is ready. The wine list leans natural, the service leans cheerful, and there are snug guestrooms if leaving feels like the wrong idea.

The Leroy Brothers are Post-Internet artists who turned a Provençal farmhouse into a luxury boutique hotel outside Saint-Paul-de-Vence, which sounds like a premise for a punchline but produces something quietly compelling. Suites mix stone and rustic beams with contemporary furniture and the collective's own work on the walls. Dinner goes out on the terrace with valley views. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key, and the hosts will happily send you to the neighbors' galleries too.

Five rooms in a mountain village inn at the foot of Mercantour National Park, each with a private terrace and views that make you forget you packed a laptop. The team spent over a year reviving a building that had been empty for decades, furnishing it in vintage and custom pieces. The kitchen, which holds a Michelin star, runs a daily-changing menu built around local producers and the inn's own permaculture gardens.

A 14th-century fireplace anchors the Guard Room of this hotel, tucked inside a medieval hilltop village above the Côte d'Azur. Each of the 28 rooms is individually named after an artist connected to the region, with hand-painted details and heavy drapery softened by heated floors and stone sinks. The restaurant's retractable roof opens to sea views over a glass of Bandol. Renoir drew inspiration here; Bardot and Garbo came to hide. The tradition holds.

A sixteenth-century residence turned boutique hotel tucked inside the walled village of Saint Paul de Vence, halfway between Cannes and Monaco. Rooms lean small by modern standards, which is the house's way of reminding you it predates the concept of the executive suite, but printed fabrics, antique furniture, and balconies over the valley compensate generously. The restaurant's vaulted dining rooms have murals, frescoes, and a fountain. Closed November through March.

The all-white rooms and modern murals make clear this fifty-room hotel isn't playing the medieval-romance game, even sitting a short drive from one of the most storied villages on the French Riviera. Saint-Paul-de-Vence draws the art-minded to the Fondation Maeght, and La Vague gives them somewhere contemporary to land: a Scandinavian-inspired spa, a pool ringed with chaise lounges, and a bistro that feels more like a city cocktail bar than country France.

Art Deco bones and a Mediterranean view from a private balcony set the tone at this boutique hotel on the Cap d'Antibes coast, which has been on this exact spot since the interwar years it never stopped dressing for. The renovation kept the visual restraint that separates a contemporary tribute from a theme park. Seasonal restaurants handle both winter dining rooms and summer rooftop terraces with Italian and Spanish-leaning menus. The beach at Belle Rives is steps away.

A green light blinks at the end of the wooden jetty, and yes, the Fitzgeralds were here. Scott allegedly wrote "Tender is the Night" somewhere between the champagne and the swimming. The Art Deco villa is now a luxury hotel, still run by the same family, with gilded chandeliers, mosaic floors, and frescoed walls that take the Jazz Age very seriously. Rooms lean elegant and modern; the terrace tables face the sea and encourage the kind of afternoon that gets away from you.

A Provençal stone farmhouse and its old sheepfold, converted into a quietly stylish small hotel outside Le Rouret. Olive and fruit trees frame a little pool, and the rooms split between the two buildings manage to feel both contemporary and genuinely farmhousey. The village is a short walk, where the hotel runs two restaurants of its own, so leaving the property for dinner hardly counts as leaving.

Raphael Navot's curves run through all 50 rooms of this Riviera hotel, the natural materials and soft Provençal palette doing a lot to soften what could easily have tipped into showboating. It's a thoroughly modernized Thirties building, all sinuous lines with no hard sci-fi edges, and the views over Mistral Square's treetops toward the sea are the kind that make checkout feel genuinely cruel. The rooftop bar handles apéritifs to nightcaps with mountains behind you.

A converted farmhouse perched in the hillside village of Mougins, seven kilometers from the Cannes chaos, with views across the surrounding hills and a Clarins spa waiting below. Le Mas Candille is a small luxury hotel, 46 rooms, all antique touches and quiet opulence, with a Californian-inflected design sensibility that sits oddly well in Provence. Two heated pools and an Italian restaurant round things out.

Rooms here are compact by design, because the point is really the palm-fringed pool deck, the organic breakfast buffet, and a rotating calendar of cultural events that keeps the common spaces lively. This lifestyle hotel on Cannes's outskirts was renovated using mostly recycled materials, and the rooms come with kitchenettes and vintage mini-fridges sized exactly right for a bottle of local rosé. Larger suites add private terraces and original artwork.

A mid-century facade on the quieter end of the Croisette, a short walk from the Palais des Festivals and one private beach club away from having an excuse to skip it. This is a luxury hotel that earns its Riviera credentials not by being eccentric but by being impeccably itself: contemporary-classic interiors, a restrained hand with the gilding, and the kind of tastefulness that Lucien Barrière hotels tend to enforce like a house rule.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

The rooftop pool deck sits above the noise of the Croisette, which is more or less the point. This boutique hotel in central Cannes runs thirty rooms and fifteen suites, all built around canopy beds and enough in-room technology to keep you occupied on rainy days. The Palais des Festivals is a short walk; the Spa by Phytomer is downstairs. For anyone who finds the grande dame palaces a bit much, this is the smaller, quieter alternative.

An eighteenth-century bastide on a cypress-and-olive hillside above Grasse, close enough to Cannes to feel connected but secluded enough that the Rolling Stones once hid out here from the taxman. The Provençal rooms have terracotta floors, antique furnishings, and oversized bathrooms; outside there's a heated pool and, charmingly, a bowling rink. The restaurant, run by Jacques Chibois, is the main draw for most guests.
