Don’t hesitate to stop for a drink in the grand hotels. Contrary to what one might imagine, they are very welcoming places.
Here are the most beautiful hotel terraces on the Côte d’Azur:
Hotel Belles Rives, Juan les Pins

Located in Juan-les-Pins, facing the sea, this terrace is a magical spot for lunch or simply a drink; on weekends, the Thea Time package at 24 euros gives you access to an all-you-can-eat pastry buffet, and refreshing drinks as well (between 3 pm and 6 pm). In the evening, for an aperitif, the place is ideal.
La Véranda, Grand Hôtel du Cap Ferrat

In the heart of a magnificent garden of Mediterranean plants, La Véranda welcomes you every day for an exceptional moment of relaxation. Warm, attentive staff.
Bar Gordon Bennett, Hotel Réserve de Beaulieu sur Mer

Come and enjoy just a coffee in this magical place where you will forget the time… facing the sea and above the pool of this famous hotel, this spot is still unspoiled as it is little known.
La Terrasse, Hotel Versailles, Villefranche sur Mer

Facing the bay of Villefranche, with Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat opposite, the view from this terrace is magical! You can simply have a drink, lunch or dinner; the welcome is excellent and the meal too. A true place of relaxation and beauty.
Le 360 Lounge Bar, Hotel Radisson Blu, Cannes

Day or night, come and relax as a couple or with friends in this chic and magical place. A terrace overlooking the entire bay of Cannes and facing the Lérins Islands: absolute tranquility.
La Terrasse du Méridien, Hôtel Méridien Nice

Facing the Baie des Anges, this terrace is one of the most beautiful in Nice. Wonderfully located and easy to reach (Méridien car park), you can simply have a drink or lunch, and stay as long as you like. A moment of absolute relaxation and undeniable charm.
Le Blue Gin Monaco, Monte-Carlo Bay Hôtel

One of my favourite spots on the Coast. Here you forget everything and enjoy an exceptional moment. Facing the sea, calm and serenity, luxury and sensuality. In summer, evenings with a DJ. Chic and trendy.
Horizon Deck restaurant et Champagne Bar, Fairmont Hôtel

Facing the sea, on the top floor of the Fairmont hotel (formerly the Loews Hôtel), this place is well known to lovers of beauty and luxury. Whether for lunch, dinner or simply a drink, come and spend a magical moment surrounded by beautiful people.
Bar Eden Roc, Hotel Eden Roc Antibes

This legendary landmark of the Côte d’Azur has welcomed the greatest stars. This magical place is very exclusive, so go dressed very elegantly; high-end prices. Open from April to October.
Terrasse de la Voile d’Or, Hôtel la Voile d’Or Saint Jean Cap Ferrat

« A cheek against the sea », said Jean Cocteau… this legendary hotel has hosted the greatest stars. Whether for a drink or a meal, this place is a haven of serenity and undeniable elegance. Very romantic for two, or festive with friends or family, you will spend a magical moment.
