After all these years, there are still a few surprises left on the Côte d’Azur — the famous grand hotels carry on as they always have, but there’s the thrill of occasionally discovering a place like La Pérouse. Cut into a cliffside overlooking the Baie des Anges, this one-time prison is now one of Nice’s most remarkable hotels, offering easy access to the beach and the old town, as well as stunning views of the sea from most of its sixty-three rooms and suites.
Provence style is the rule in the guest rooms, outfitted with antique furnishings and soft country colors, each with a balcony or terrace to take maximum advantage of the views. The location and the atmosphere are charming enough, but the view is the thing — even the hotel’s own brochure issues a strongly worded recommendation in favor of choosing a sea view room.
At the bottom of the cliff sits the hotel pool, surrounded by a shaded garden surrounded by lemon trees, and in the fair-weather months the hotel’s restaurant serves dinner on the terrace by candlelight. You’re seconds from the beach, if that’s the sort of diversion that appeals, and it’s a short walk into Nice’s historic district if you’re up for a bit of a wander. Proof positive there’s more to the Côte d’Azur than just the old favorites.
