La Réserve de Beaulieu
Old-money Belle Époque elegance that has been kept genuinely fresh rather than museumified. Think autographed celebrity photos on the walls, sherbet-orange pool parasols, and staff who know guests' names. Small enough to feel residential, polished enough to feel palatial.
Ask for a room with a direct sea view and balcony — the price jump is worth it
Why It Matters
One of the French Riviera's original grand hotels, continuously operating since 1880. Home to Le Restaurant des Rois — 1 Michelin star, Gault & Millau 17/20 — and a spa now operating under the La Prairie brand. Member of both Leading Hotels of the World and Relais & Châteaux. Michelin Guide rating of 19.1/20 for the hotel.
La Réserve de Beaulieu started life in 1880 as a seafood restaurant on the Côte d'Azur — the name comes from the large basin dug to store fishermen's catch. Guest rooms arrived in 1905, and the property has been a French Riviera institution ever since. Today, under the Delion family since 1997, it's a 39-room palace with a pink-and-white Florentine façade, marble-clad lobby, Italian-influenced interiors, and a Michelin-starred restaurant sitting right on the water between Nice and Monaco.
Where You'll Stay
12 room types available
Classic Garden Room
Looks onto the hotel's interior garden with partial sea glimpses. Same refined decor and service as the marina-facing classics. A quieter, more sheltered option.
Classic Room Port & Hills
The entry-level room, looking out over Beaulieu-sur-Mer's marina and the hills behind. Cozy rather than large, with fine furnishings and a marble bathroom with shower. Second-floor rooms have a balcony. Good option if you want the hotel experience without paying for a sea-facing room.
King-size+ · 33 sqm
Deluxe Room Garden & Sea
More generous proportions with garden and sea views. A proper Deluxe tier upgrade within the main building.
Deluxe Terrace Garden & Sea
The Deluxe category with the added bonus of a private terrace. Garden and sea views, perfect for a morning coffee outside.
Garden Pavilion
A 57 sqm duplex adjoining the main hotel building, set in the garden. Queen bed, elegant living room, bathroom, and a small terrace. Quiet and private. Can connect to the Villa Mistinguett for multi-room groups.
Queen-size · 57 sqm
Junior Suite
At 60–61 sqm, spacious for this category. Sea and marina views, a lounge area for watching films on the 4K TV, a balcony, and a proper bathroom. One of the best value-for-money options at the hotel if you want serious space without going full suite.
King-size+ · 60 sqmJunior Suite Tower
Located in the hotel's tower, offering elevated sea views. A junior suite format with a small lounge area and all the signature amenities.
Sea View Suite
Three prestige suites, each 56–64 sqm. Serious sea views from the balcony, a marble bathroom with bathtub and/or shower, an elegant sitting room, and the full palace amenity package including Nespresso. The benchmark suite at La Réserve.
King-size+ · 60 sqmSuperior Room Garden & Sea
A step up in both size and view. Garden and sea views from larger windows. Same high-end furnishings and Guerlain amenities throughout.
Terrace Sea View Suite
Like the Sea View Suite but with a larger private terrace for outdoor lounging with full sea views. Perfect for warm evenings.
Villa Mistinguett
The crown jewel. A 116 sqm duplex villa named after the 1920s Music Hall star who was once a guest here. Ground floor has a 90 sqm living room opening onto a sunny terrace. Upstairs via a spiral staircase (or private elevator): a double room with marble bathroom with shower and hammam. The terrace is nearly 100 sqm — big enough for a dining table, gazebo, and open-air jacuzzi. Can connect to the Garden Pavilion for groups. The most private, most theatrical option at La Réserve.
King-size · 116 sqmVilla Victoria
A standalone villa suite adjacent to the main hotel. Full villa privacy with all the services of La Réserve. Named in honour of Queen Victoria, who frequented the Riviera and this stretch of coast.
