The Top 35 Hotels Near Sarri

-
A glass modernist tower rising from a rocky cliffside above Monaco, the Maybourne Riviera is a Forbes Five Star hotel that earns its dramatic entrance before you've unpacked. The group also runs Claridge's, which tells you where the bar sits. Sixty-five rooms were each designed in collaboration with artists and architects, and the infinity pool is literally carved from the cliff. Coco Chanel once built a villa nearby, so the neighborhood has form.
-
The resort is built to resemble a peninsula jutting into the Mediterranean, which is either audacious or on-brand for Monaco, probably both. Pierre-Yves Rochon designed the interiors to be unabashedly glitzy without quite tipping into excess, and the public spaces have the palatial scale that this address demands. Rooms are comparatively restrained. The lagoon pool has a sandy floor, the spa is vast, and a private helipad handles guests who prefer not to sit in traffic.
-
A cobblestone drive lined with Italian cypress leads you past an unassuming gate to a Belle Époque mansion that has nothing to prove and knows it. This independent luxury hotel sits just off the waterfront, outside the SBM conglomerate that runs most of Monaco, which gives it a quietly different atmosphere. Jacques Garcia handled a full renovation, and his preference for rich fabrics, ornate antiques, and marble baths suits the place perfectly. It holds a Forbes Four Star and two Michelin Keys.
-
Belle Époque excess is the whole point here, and the Hermitage leans into it without apology. This grand hotel sits on a cliff above the harbor, close enough to the casino to feel glamorous but far enough to avoid the worst of the foot traffic. Rooms run large by any standard, done in soft Mediterranean tones with balconies facing the sea. The attached spa has a seawater pool and the kind of treatment menu that fills an afternoon easily.
-
Technically on the French side of the border, this old-school SBM resort sits on a wooded mini-peninsula with sea views that do most of the heavy lifting. The 1930s bones are intact, the pool deck still carries the ghost of grander poolside social theater, and a free shuttle connects you to Casino Square in ten minutes for anyone who finds tranquility suspicious.
-
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.
-
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.
-
A 28-room boutique hotel perched at the tip of its own five-acre peninsula between Monaco and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cap Estel is the Riviera for people who find the Riviera exhausting. Period antiques and Louis XVI chairs share space with bright minimalist whites and blue; terraces look straight out over the Mediterranean. Dining, the beach, a spa, an indoor pool, a cinema, a piano bar: there's genuinely no reason to leave, which appears to be the whole point.
-
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 private funicular carries you down to the beach, which tells you something about the scale of this Forbes Five Star, Michelin three-key resort on Cap Ferrat, tucked between Nice and Monaco on 17 pine-shaded acres. The white marble lobby runs to Murano chandeliers and Lalique crystal, yet the staff manage to make it feel unhurried rather than intimidating. Guests rarely leave the grounds, and given the pool club, the gardens, and the general air of consequence, that's hard to argue with.
-
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.
-
A 17th-century convent on the Cimiez hillside above Nice's old town, converted into an 88-room hotel where the nuns' cells now come with lime-plaster walls and Italian antiques, and occasionally a La Cornue range cooker. The cloister gardens slope toward a lap pool with Med views, and the subterranean spa draws on Roman bath logic. The restaurant leans into Riviera produce with minimal drama. Ranked 27th on the World's 50 Best Hotels list and holding a Michelin Key.
-
The pink dome is visible from halfway down the promenade, which suits Le Negresco just fine. This grand hotel on the Promenade des Anglais has been hosting royals and film people for as long as anyone can remember, and the rooms still look it: bold colors, lavish ornament, art spanning several centuries on the walls, doormen in uniforms that could stop traffic. Modern comforts are tucked in discreetly, so as not to spoil the atmosphere. It holds a Forbes Four Star.
-
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 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.
-
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 hilltop above Vence where a Knights Templar commandery slowly became a château hotel, still relatively small in scale despite a modern wing and scattered villas. Colors run soft and Provençal throughout, but the real design move is the windows: the views seem to take in the whole of the Côte d'Azur. There's a La Prairie spa, a private beach club on Cap d'Antibes, and a summer restaurant set inside an olive grove. Holds a Michelin Key and a Forbes Four Star.
-
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.
-
Four acres of parkland just below Saint-Paul-de-Vence, with stone farmhouses, olive trees, and 76 rooms dressed in antiques and soft southern colors. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys. It's an old-school resort that leans hard into the fantasy of the private Provençal estate, marble baths and all, while staying close enough to the Côte d'Azur that a beach day is easy and far enough that the Riviera crowds feel like someone else's problem.
-
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.
-
Four treehouses perched over a garden of roses and oak branches just outside medieval Saint-Paul de Vence, this boutique stay is the kind of place where the hardest decision is whether your cabin gets the teak soaking tub or the four-poster draped in mosquito nets. Natural wood, private terraces, an ecological pool, and a barrel sauna fill the gaps. Breakfast arrives poolside or, when it rains, directly to your door. The French Riviera is right there whenever you're ready.
-
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.
