Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“This secret treasure cuts into the cliff (an elevator takes you up to reception), and the best rooms—including Raoul Dufy’s favorite—not only have views of the azure sea, they also look down into an intimate garden dotted with lemon trees. All rooms have a breezy, bright inviting style that makes you think twice about leaving them for a drink at the patio bar or a dip in the cliff-side pool.”

Frommers review:

“Once a prison, La Pérouse has been reconstructed into a spectacular and unique Riviera hotel. Set on a cliff, it’s built right in the gardens of the ancient château hill, with a secluded swimming pool almost carved out of the rock to the rear.”

Lonely Planet review:

“A prime seaside location and boutique hotel style put La Pérouse in a league of its own. Built into the rock cliff-face of Colline du Château, it evokes the spirit of a genteel villa. Lower-floor rooms face a citrus-tree-shaded courtyard and pool; upper-floor rooms have magnificent sea vistas.”

Telegraph review:

“The scene-stealing location of this small, luxurious, Mediterranean-chic hotel must be the best in Nice. It was carved into a steep limestone cliff in the 1930s, between the old town and the port, and overlooking the Baie des Anges. Most guests can drink in the big blue stare of the Mediterranean from their terrace.”

Comfortable stay in stylish old-money Riviera hotel with sea views and Nice old town right on your doorstep.

Fantastic location right on the sea front and in the old town with its cafes, bars, shops and restaurants. Very stylish and comfortable room. Amazing views.

Scaffold at the front of the hotel due to renovation detracted a little from the otherwise perfect experience.

Excellent. The train from Nice takes you everywhere and there are so many restaurants to choose from

The bedroom, view and location were great.

We only had a shower in the bath. We could have requested a room with a walk in shower but didn’t know what we were getting. The rest of the bathroom very nice. We would have liked a more welcoming reception area with comfortable chairs.

Comfortable stay in a nice location.

Very comfortable room and nice staff.

The decor in the reception area and corridors is awful and makes a bad impression as you enter the hotel. The smell of food was overwhelming from the restaurant into the rooms from early in the morning. You had to take two different lifts, one on the ground floor and another on the first floor, to reach my room on the second floor.

We had a wonderful stay. The property was beautiful and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special.

Just be aware that because the hotel is built into the mountain that it takes a bit to navigate getting to the room. (Multiple elevators).

This vibey oasis was the perfect place to spend a few nights while on our honeymoon.

We loved the location of La Perouse. It was a perfect point to start from when venturing out to explore Nice while being an amazing spot to end the day at. The view from the Solarium was the perfect place to watch the sunset and relax too.

We weren't expecting all the twists and turns in the hotel to get to our room but we quickly learned the layout.

A perfect stay to experience the old town of Nice for a few days with a friend.

Loved my stay here. Wonderful touches I particularly liked was the turn down service, quality of toiletries and linen. What made the stay was every single member of staff you have contact with. They provide a happy upbeat role in making your holiday the best it can be.

There was nothing I didn’t like.

It was a great stay would recommend. The staff was wonderful and the view was worth the price.

The view from out room was outstanding. The staff was wonderful. Everyone was kind and cheerful and helped with planning a trip to Monaco. The location was great for walking to the old city. The restaurant was very good as was the delicious breakfast.

The lobby looks a little make shift and we were a bit put off when we first arrived but our stay got better when we began to enjoy the whole hotel. It was difficult to drive to because the street it's on becomes one way. Just follow Apple Maps.

Excellent ! Highly recommended and will come again next in Nice !

Everything from professional staff throughout from cleaning , baggage assistance , wait staff at restuarant & bar and front desk , to excellent restaurant food ( exceptional in taste and value ) , bar facilities , clean sparkling pool , location , exceptional customer service . We enjoyed the hotel facilities so much that it made exploring Nice a very comfortable and most enjoyable experience .

All was perfect , if I had to suggest anything it would be a bar at the roof level . Gosh , that would make it even more difficult to leave the comfort of the hotel but perfect for drinks with an amazing view .

Welcomed by very friendly and helpful staff who let me check in early. Room was comfortable and clean with a good sized bathroom. Terrace with views over the ocean was stunning. Restaurant is in a little courtyard which is very nice.

Lots of stairs and different lifts need to be used to get to your room (especially if you are in a room on the top floors), which was not a problem for me but something to keep in mind in case you're not comfortable using lifts or walking many stairs.

Almost no view from the room and the pool (though themselves are quite beautiful). Bathroom is a bit old.

Very good

In the heart of the old town. Near the beach. A neat hotel with the retained charm of the old days. The room is cleaned twice a day.

Although you enter from the main promenade, the main building is behind, so you have to change between two elevators to get to your room. The room feels damp. They don't have beach towels.

Good location

The location was perfect. Our room, the Mediterranean suite had a lovely terrace overlooking the city. The staff were correct and very pleasant.

The hotel smelled. I don’t know why the boast about having been renovated, it had this stale old cheap hotel smell.

Luxury and total perfection, strongly recommend.

The location is fabulous. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. There are nice touches all around the hotel and rooms that show great care. Strongly recommend even though the price point may be a bit high, totally worth it! And not snobby either.

Nothing. Loved it.

Fabulous hotel in Nice

This gorgeous boutique hotel is situated overlooking the sea while at the same time being within easy walking distance to the old town of Nice and the beautiful beach promenade. Apart from the functional tastefully decorated rooms, fabulous restaurant (and breakfast!!) I think the staff interaction stood out for me in this hotel. From the time I booked the correspondence from management was excellent and so helpful. I was able to book transport between the hotel and neighboring towns and nothing was too much trouble. When we arrived we were made to feel very welcome and during our stay every member of staff was so friendly and professional. I would definitely stay here again when I return to Nice.

Perfect location Perfect service except one single hotel manager

Perfect location for sight seeing in and around Nice Right at the doorstep of Old Nice with the massive Nice beach in front of this hotel Mega attentive service from all the staff from the cleaner to concierge to restaurant waiter and waitress to reception except the manager who always keep a distance with us Restaurant and breakfast are superb, great quality of food and very attentive service. One of the waiter is full of passion and energy to offer customers the best

The hotel is mega old and have been renovated to modernise as far as it can but still the architecture cannot keep up with the modern hotel There is a lack of practical space, wall sockets, desk space, etc… forget it if you are on business Sadly the hotel manger deliberately don’t want to speak to us. Only asking her staff if we are being looked after. While she chooses to entertain the customers who she wants to interact with. Unlucky or luck if she does not speak to you, who knows. There is a clear discrimination somewhere. Very sad for such a successful business.
