Hôtel Royal Riviera

The Royal Riviera is located in St Jean Cap Ferrat, France, one kilometre from the Cote d'Azur town of Beaulieu sur Mer, four kilometres from the centre of Nice, and eight kilometres from Monaco. Beaulieu sur Mer station is one kilometre away.

This hotel was built in 1904 and blends a neo-classical façade with many period Art Deco touches. It is set right next to its own private beach, which is open between May and the end of September.

Gardens of palm, olive, and cypress trees enclose the secluded sundeck. There is also an outdoor pool, plus a fitness and wellness centre, which includes a gym, sauna and steam room, hair and beauty salon. Massages and therapeutic spa treatments are also available. Evening film showings run for kids.

Authentic Provencal dishes are served at the Royal Riviera's main Panorama Restaurant, and in the summer the Pergola restaurant alongside the pool offers salads, light meals, and Mediterranean specialities. Bar le Cap has a full-length terrace overlooking the gardens.

The hotel has fully-equipped conference and banqueting facilities, and a translation service. The water sports centre on the Royal Riviera's beach organises a range of activities like water skiing, jet skiing, and boat hire.

The 94 guestrooms are on four floors, and all feature contemporary, naturally-toned decor and furnishings. They include air conditioning, satellite television with movies on demand, complimentary wireless Internet access, and safes. Marble-topped bathrooms provide bathrobes, and complimentary toiletries.
