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 place to have lunch or simply enjoy 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 p.m. and 6 p.m.). In the evening, for an aperitif, the venue 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 staff who are attentive to your needs.
Bar Gordon Bennett, Hotel Réserve de Beaulieu sur Mer
Come for just a coffee in this magical spot where you will forget the time… overlooking the sea and above the pool of this famous hotel, this place remains unspoiled because 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 so is the meal. A true place of relaxation and beauty.
Le 360 Lounge Bar, Hotel Raddisson Blu, Cannes
By day or by night, come and unwind as a couple or with friends in this chic and magical place. The terrace overlooks the whole bay of Cannes and faces the Lérins Islands, for absolute relaxation.
La Terrasse du Méridien, Hôtel Méridien Nice
Facing the Bay of Angels, 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 places on the Riviera. Here you forget everything to enjoy an exceptional moment. Facing the sea, calm and serenity, luxury and sensuality. In summer, evenings with DJs. 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; prices are at the high end. 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 », Jean Cocteau once said… this legendary hotel has welcomed the greatest stars. For a drink or a meal, this place is a haven of serenity and undeniable chic. Very romantic for two, or festive with friends or family, you will spend a magical moment.
