Great holiday and short stay
Reviewed By timbinhamCould not fault the service and the friendliness of staff. Thank you for making our stay so memorable. We will definitely be back. We had a great room on the fifth floor that looked over to the promenade and the sea. Even at dinner the staff were able to give us one of the front tables that overlooked the water making for a truly memorable night. Thanks to all the staff at the Hyatt Regency, great service all round.

Hotel to avoid unless if you have a good view
Reviewed By SBFMIHôtel quite old. The room is very small, with poor view. It is also badly isolated from the noise. The breakfast is good with large choice of food. The staff was average. I asked a car for airport drop but they were not able to book. I had to do it by myself…
3. Hotel Royal-Riviera
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1193 reviews
Perched in the peninsula of Cap-Ferrat, with plunging views of the Provencal gardens and the Mediterranean, the 94-room Hotel Royal-Riviera provides the intimacy of a private villa with the luxury and glamour of a palace. L'Orangerie villa's 16 rooms and suites each offer a large terrace overlooking the garden or the pool, or a balcony. Guests may dine in the restaurant "La Table du Royal" or on its outdoor terrace, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, or during the season at the poolside restaurant “Jasmin Grill & Lounge”, facing the famous Villa Kerylos. The hotel is 15 minutes drive from Monaco and Nice and 25 minutes from Nice International Airport. With the exception of a seven-week period when the hotel is closed during the winter, the hotel is open all year-round. The Royal-Riviera is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World.
Pretty location, not quite 5 stars
Reviewed By Lakeview91Pros: -Conveniently located between Monaco and Nice -View from ocean view rooms is very good (we stayed in the main hotel building with a complete ocean view room and balcony). This was our favorite part of the stay and saved our experience. Had we not had a view, the rest of the details would have pushed me to want to stay elsewhere because we expected a 5 star experience. Sunrise and sunset were absolutely stunning and we enjoyed both coffee and wine on our balcony every day. Photo of our view attached. -Friendly restaurant staff -Quiet and private -Clean, but worn -Always able to get a nice taxi at a moments notice -The building facade is charming -Private beach front Cons: -The hotel grounds do not compare or come close to their 5 star competitors, such as the Four Seasons or La Réserve. We will be staying at either of those next visit. -Ocean views from the pool are obstructed by the main restaurant. La Réserve has a much better pool and poolside restaurant, and so does the Four Seasons. -Rooms, lobby, restaurant all need updating - furniture, architectural elements, bathrooms all are very outdated.. from the hardware, crown mounding, rugs, furniture, etc… it’s all worn. When you want to stay in a 5 star hotel, these details matter. -Light on staff, especially by the pool Other considerations: -The hotel is just on the edge of Cap Ferrat and is closer to Beaulieu-sur-Mer (right over the border). Not a con, just something to note. -Breakfast was good but way overpriced for the quality and available options -Royal Riviera’s website advertises very well and made us think we would get a 5 star experience, but it’s definitely 4 star.
4. Hotel Barriere Le Gray d'Albion
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 474 reviews
Ideally located in between the sea and the shopping artery of the most prestigious stores of Cannes, the Hotel Barriere Le Gray d’Albion is a trendy haven of peace with a warmly atmosphere. Renovated in a contemporary style, the Hotel Barriere Le Gray d’Albion resembles the Cannes’ atmosphere: bright during the day and shiny at night. Discover the sunny delights in its two restaurants: taste the most subtle alliances at “La Terrasse du Gray” or typically Mediterranean flavours at the restaurant of the private beach on La Croisette. And for sport sessions, enjoy the intimacy of the brand new fitness centre of the hotel. The private beach of Mademoiselle Gray Plage Barrière will be open soon. Due to private events or congresses, the beach is likely to be closed. During these periods, the hotel will be pleased to offer you alternative solutions at our partner beaches. We thank you in advance for your understanding.
Fabulous location, superb rooms
Reviewed By editorgoodlifefranceLove the designer rooms and slept like a baby in the king size bed, like being cocooned. The views over the old town from the balcony were simply magical and the staff go out of their way to make you feel valued. Just steps from La Croisette and the old town, great location.
5. Hotel La Perouse

The hidden trasure of Nice, facing the Mediterranean Sea in a peaceful atmosphere, even if we are in the very center of the city
A Riviera jewel
Reviewed By John HWe have just spent another wonderful break at this incredible hotel. With splendid views along the Promenade des Anglais and across the Mediterranean La Perouse continues to provide a wonderful experience. Our room provided all the necessary comforts and was well maintained. The patio restaurant was outstanding: breakfasts and dinners were relaxing and very enjoyable experiences. All the staff in the hotel were cheerful and helpful but I should like to emphasise how the atmosphere created by all the people working in the restaurant greatly enhanced our experience. We look forward to our next visit.

Good Stay except Poor Breakfast
Reviewed By BerlinG-ParisFWe stayed here for 1 night in 2017 and chose this hotel for our 3 nights before our cruise. The location was perfect. We took the Line B tram from the airport to the Jean-Medecin stop. The hotel is about 100m/y west of the underground stop. Our cruise left from the last stop, 3 stops east of here, so it was very convenient! We arrived early, before 11h. Due to my status, they found us a room in about 30 minutes. We had been upgraded to a high level king but got a high level with 2 twin beds. It worked out just fine as the beds were almost double (full) size. The room had a desk, some chairs, a closet with safe, but I don't remember any drawers. There was shelf space so not a big issue. The bathroom had a nice tub plus sink, toilet, and bidet. The provided bathroom amenities were above average as well. Our view was only of the neighborhood. We were facing south, but there are so many taller building that I don't know if it's possible to have a water view. The room more than met our requirements, and we were very comfortable. The beds were just the right firmness, and it was quiet even though we were just across from the elevator. They have swapped locations for the check-in and the restaurant. Now, the check-in is in a brightly lit area with some seating. The restaurant is in the darker part of the ground floor with a bar all the way around the corner through the restaurant. Despite the sub-par breakfast, I am giving an overall 4 because they allowed us an early check-in and a late check-out on our cruise day. Breakfast was awful. They had scrambled eggs, sausage links ruined by tomato sauce, mushrooms, things British eat in the morning but Americans don't (baked beans, for example) plus rice and the first morning but not the last 2, decent bacon. When I asked for bacon, I got a non-caring response! It was the best thing on the buffet! Most of the hot dishes, especially the eggs, were lukewarm at best, unless you arrived just after they were restocked, since there were no heating devices under the trays. There were many pastries, but they just didn't seem fresh as one would expect in France. Day old, perhaps? There were 2 coffee stations so that worked. Bottled water was provided, and I drank at least one bottle a day. I had included the price of breakfast in my reservation, so I am not sure how much breakfast was, if not booked in advance. It did not include eggs made to order, which were extra! If we were to return, I would include breakfast again, but I would hope for warmer hot food, fresher pastries, and better service. With the new IHG status tier, some will earn free breakfast at all locations. I would be curious to know if this is going to include omelet and eggs made to order for those of such status. They will probably still be an upcharge. It's time to rethink your breakfast operation!
7. Club Med Opio - Provence
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3158 reviews
In the hills above Cannes, the Valbonne plateau reveals a preserved Provence, whose landscape is covered with olive groves and pine forests. The recently renovated Village offers soft coloured rooms in Provencal-style accommodation dotted around small streets and shaded squares. Opio en Provence is both family and sports-minded, with its 9-hole golf course, 3 swimming pools and tennis courts. It also places emphasis on the quest for tranquillity which can be found in the relaxing Club Med Spa.
Fantastic for families - couple of niggles!
Reviewed By FarAway591979Overall, a fantastic holiday. Pros - Countless activities for all of us aged 5-70. Great heated pools & food is some of the best buffet food we've had. Lovely setting for restaurant terrace overlooking pool and view. Loved having interconnecting rooms with kids. Plenty of staff. Zen pool was heavenly. Circus area & school is amazing for all ages (4+). Live music and cocktails in the evenings was great. Cons - rooms very small & a bit scruffy (fine for us, though), the huge corporate group that virtually took over the hotel for a few days really spoilt some mealtimes and pool time as they were an enormous group, meaning very noisy in restaurant & pool & difficult to get sun loungers & and queues for buffet food. The entryway to the main pool had foot pools to go through which really needed a clean. Impression given that more than one restaurant but really only one (with two different seating areas) so would have been nice to have some variety. Admittedly could go to Golf restaurant for lunch though (although not as suited to kids as not much choice). Shop very overpriced (bring your own pool inflatables)! Sometimes a bit of confusion about where to pick kids up from kids club as ours only wanted to go for a couple of hours a day - I think it should be made a bit of easier to dip in and out of.

Elegant and spacious rooms and suites, most of them with private terrace and sea view.

The International Nice Airport is just a 5-minute drive from the hotel. The infrastructure of the Radisson Blu Hotel Nice is ideal to keep fit thanks to the health club with fitness room overlooking the sea including sauna, hammam and fitness equipment.
Great hotel with nice view
Reviewed By Adina123The hotel is very nice located and it’s offers beautiful views over the Promenade.The room are nice, clean and the cleaning services is very good! The breakfast is nice and the food is good! The staff from the reception (especially Mr Catalin) is great! They provide us all the necessary informations and they were very kind in answering to all of our questions! (And more!!!) The distance from the hotel to the old town is around 4-5 km … By bus (the station it’s in front of the hotel) or by taxi (around 35 euro one way) . From the airport you can take the tram and the station is behind the hotel (very convenient - 1.5 euro/person compared to 40 euro if you choose to come by taxi). The pool situated on the top is relaxing. Nice hotel with great staff and beautiful views!
9. Hotel Suisse Nice

The Hotel Suisse is ideally situated between sea and sky. Constructed along Italian-style architectural lines, it enjoys a unique location. For a stay in Nice on the French Riviera, enjoy the comfort of the various rooms and their stunning panorama. With their clean, stylish lines, the suite and the rooms ensure comfort and well-being and offer a breathtaking view of the Baie des Anges. First thing in the morning, enjoy a full buffet breakfast in our lounge. In some rooms you will be able to enjoy it on the terrace. Then, you'll be able to head out to the beach, which is only a few metres' walk away (preferential conditions on the private beach of our partner). Just minutes from the city centre, the hotel allows you to easily explore the charms of the historic centre of Nice or the port. Upon your return, share a moment of conviviality in the bar as you sip the cocktail of the day.
Lovely hotel in Nice
Reviewed By Liz RThis was our fourth stay at this hotel. I can say that I find no faults with this hotel. The staff are helpful and extremely professional. The rooms are very comfortable and provide all amenities - tea, coffee, hairdryer, mini bar. The breakfast which is included is excellent with a large selection and the freshest pastries. The view of the Baie des Anges is gorgeous and you can hear the waves with the windows open. The rates are very reasonable. I have stayed in more expensive hotels which don’t come near the Hotel Suisse in all round excellence.

Facing the sea, at n°1 on the Promenade des Anglais,the hotel is located above the famous Ruhl Casino. In thevery heart of the city, you will enjoy Massena pedestriandistrict as well as the typical Old Nice. As far as practicalmatters are concerned, a car park with direct access islocated below the hotel (fee-paying service).
Excellent location
Reviewed By marypT7199LNOverall we had a great experience. Staff were polite and helped out with phone adapters and a late check out. Room was big and had a lovely view of the sea. Was a bit tired in places but so what, you are on the promenade. The hotel also has a deal with a private beach that gives a discounted rate. Nice has been absolutely lovely.
