Five superlative places to stay—all new or newly renovated—along France’s most iconic stretch of coastline
Luxury Hotels The best new hotels along the French Riviera start at less than €500
Regardless of what’s driving your next trip, here’s a curated guide to the best places to stay in the Côte d’Azur. Pick one or string them together to experience the breadth of what the region has to offer.This new 46-room hillside property, 20 minutes from Cannes in the medieval town of Mougins, where Pablo Picasso famously spent his final days, is a restful alternative to see-and-be-seen spots along the waterfront.
Visitors arrive through a spacious courtyard dotted with orange trees leading to a central cloister, where they’re greeted with lemon-filled madeleines. Inside, the design plays up the structure’s original charms, including terracotta floor tiles and dry-stone walls; it also makes liberal use of simple reclaimed wood furnishings and lush flower bouquets throughout both the rooms and public spaces.
The star features of this new Riviera destination, however, are the Plage Blanche private beach and the seaside dining at Mareluna, whose dining room extends onto a parasol-lined, sea-facing terrace. Dishes mix Italian and southern French flavours—think ossobuco tortellini with Provençal herbs or cuttlefish tagliatelle. All are courtesy of rising star chef Francesco Fezza, who cut his teeth working for Alain Ducasse at Le Meurice in Paris. Rooms from €612.
