Best Beach Hotels in Nice

Seaside charmer, Nice, has been a popular beach destination since the 18th century. Glamorous, but not as exclusive as some of the towns on the Côte d’Azur, the capital of the region is easy to get to, easy to explore on foot, and relatively easy to find an idyllic stretch of sand to yourself in. The beaches have excellent facilities, and are lined with friendly bars, cafes, and, mostly, seafood, restaurants. But if you book into one of Nice’s beach hotels you’ll have facilities laid on by your hotel. One of the upsides of the town's long-term popularity is that it has an excellent range of accommodation, from B&Bs to guesthouses, boutique hotels to villas, hotels and resorts, and there are beach-adjacent properties in all categories. So there’s a real wealth of choice when it comes to beach hotels.
