La Perouse

Hotel Le Perouse is, quite literally, built into Castle Hill at the end of the Promenade des Anglais, very close to the gay-popular Castel Plage beach.

This elegant boutique hotel offers contemporary-styled rooms, many with views of the Bay of Angels but without the noise that is typical of most beachfront hotels here.

There's a private pool with sun terrace, a sauna, jacuzzi and gym. The onsite restaurant serves great Mediterranean food. The Old Town and the famous Flower Market are just steps away.
