Situated in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat on the Côte d'Azur in France, and within walking distance of Beaulieu-sur-Mer, the Royal Riveria is a small luxury hotel with a noble pedigree.

Whether you prefer to call it the Côte d'Azur or the French Riviera, the Royal Riviera Hotel in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is sure to leave you feeling trés chic. With an impressive edifice over a century old, the Royal Riviera was restored to its former glory in 1999. Its rooms and suites number just under a hundred, with views overlooking the sea or the extensive, lovingly tended gardens. With one of the area's only private sandy beaches, guests can enjoy the Mediterranean from the comfort of loungers, or jump right in with water sports and boats for hire. If you'd rather, enjoy the view from the poolside Pergola restaurant, the elegant Panorama restaurant, or the exotic Bar Le Cap. Meals are available as half-board or a la carte, making your choices as endless or as easy as you wish. Royal Riviera's location is the height of convenience, with Beaulieu-sur-Mer a most pleasant 30-minute walk away, and Nice, Eze, and Monaco all within a short car ride. Visit: www.royalriveria.com.
