Luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants in the French Riviera

Holidays in the French Riviera 

Discover the never-ending joys of life on the French Riviera. From the Monte-Carlo Casino to the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, via the Cannes Croisette and Saint-Tropez marina, the Côte d'Azur is home to some of the most emblematic places in our imagination. History, nature, art, and gastronomy combine along France's most famous coastline, where, nestled in the garrigue, you will find picturesque villages that have fascinated artists and writers throughout time. We invite you to discover authentic towns named La Croix-Valmer, Le Castelet or Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, that will leave you contemplative in front of fairy-like landscapes. The medieval village of Èze is a genuine oasis of peace, characterised by the poetic beauty of the surrounding nature, filled with olive trees, oak trees, and cypresses. The old town of Antibes is a delightful place with its colourful houses, local market and vibrant marina. Saint-Paul-de-Vence, one of the most beautiful villages in France, can be discovered in a maze of narrow streets dotted with antique shops and art galleries. A travel to the French Riviera inevitably leads to Grasse, the world capital of perfume, where the scents of lavender, jasmine and Centifolia rose awaken your senses. The beaches on the coastline and the seabed of nearby islands promise a timeless escape, enhanced by a stay in our luxury hotels on the French Riviera.  

Luxury hotels on the French Riviera 

From a charming country house to a contemporary residence, refinement remains the key word for our luxury hotels in the French Riviera. Set on the seashore, perched on a cliffside, or nestled in the heart of green hills, our properties embody the elegance of legendary French savoir-faire. In our luxury hotels, steep terraces reveal sculptures worthy of a museum, or Mediterranean gardens plunging down to the pool. From your room terrace, the rocky coastline occupies centre stage and the changing light tints the coves purple and red. For the interiors you will find here, pleated silk walls, mirrored surfaces and marble finishes brightened by fresh bouquets. There, the classic meets the exuberant with gilded frames, velvet seating and impressive chandeliers. In our 5-star hotels on the French Riviera, the decoration of the rooms and suites ranges from sober Provençal to subtle contemporary, sometimes with a hint of exoticism. From valet parking to concierge services, our teams at our luxury hotels in the French Riviera are as attentive as they are discreet. After a day out discovering the region, treat yourself to a relaxing massage at the Spa, followed by a refreshing mint, honey and lemon cocktail. 

Fine dining restaurants on the French Riviera, the best of local flavours 

It is in the fine dining restaurants of our best luxury hotels on the French Riviera that you will fully experience how rich the Provencal terroir truly is. Generally run by our renown chefs, our tables take you on a journey from the Mercantour mountains to the Mediterranean, with subtle Italian influences. The emphasis is placed on local produce, often from our organic vegetable gardens set up in our charming hotels. At lunchtime, take a seat on a terrace shaded by linden and chestnut trees and treat your taste buds while enjoying a breathtaking view of the sea.  

On the menu of our fine dining restaurants on the French Riviera you will find the timeless dishes of the South with a twist, as well as creative signature recipes. Let yourself be tempted by a sea bream ceviche, pumpkin and herb stuffed ravioli or turbot caught the same morning, served with a typical garnish. When the sun embraces the horizon, candles light up the tables to offer you the most romantic of dinners, topped with regional wines selected by our passionate sommeliers. As for dessert, in addition to the creations of our pastry chefs, we supply our restaurants and luxury hotels on the French Riviera with regional cheese from local farms. 

The best hotels on the French Riviera, a taste of the dolce vita  

An ode to art and culture, that is how you could define a holiday on the French Riviera. Relais & Châteaux concierges invite you to discover, from our luxury hotels, the numerous museums that the region has to offer.
