The famously picturesque French Riviera has long been home to fabled hotels loved by movie stars and golden-heeled guests alike. Along this glamorous coastline, the luxury benchmark now continues to evolve. Contemporary interiors have reinvented Belle Epoque palace hotels that come complete with Michelin-starred restaurants and private beach clubs where guests can arrive by yacht.
The best resorts might stand out for their futuristic wellness sanctuaries or Olympic-sized pools, as castles atop medieval villages, for their boutique romance or for impressive views. For downtown people-watching, it’s hard to beat our pick out of the top hotels in Monte Carlo and Saint-Tropez, while, elsewhere, some of the coastline’s historic grande dames are back in vogue after top-to-toe revivals. Read on to discover the best French Riviera resorts.
