“I think this is a fabulous pick in Menton, a blend of French and Italian charm, with a beachfront location that's hard to beat and easy access to transport links for jaunts to Italy or Nice. The hotel's Jean-Cocteau theme provides an artistic ambiance; plus, there's a pool for relaxation and a garden for alfresco meals. For a stylish stay on the Côte d'Azur, this one stands out.”

The breakfast room decor looked beautiful. The staff helped me find a good table to bring my small dog. Parking on site was definitely a plus, it was very convenient. The staff at the front desk was cute and helpful!
