Its traditional stucco façade, with sunny colors and wrought-iron balconies, invites you to enter. As you discover the unobstructed sea views, Mediterranean patio garden and spectacular rooftop terrace, you will wish to never leave.

Adding to the boutique hotel’s allure is its privileged setting along the eastern end of the Promenade des Anglais. The city’s top attractions are but a few steps away: the beach and harbor, Nice Old Town, castle ruins and historic garden…

La Pérouse is ideally located in a peaceful yet dynamic district, surrounded by rocks, trees and water. Here in the heart of Nissa la Bella, couples and families alike find an abundance of activities and entertainment – or can simply slow down and enjoy the region’s timeless beauty.

THE HISTORY
Overlooking the Mediterranean from its high perch, La Pérouse is a historic structure carved into Castle Hill in Nice. It is in this luxurious seaside hotel, which first opened its doors in 1936, that French and international travelers alike live out their dreams of spending time in the French Riviera.

Facing the hotel, the sunny façade calls to mind the golden light and time-honored architecture of Provence, as well as the region’s craggy geology. Behind you is the endless blue for which the Côte d’Azur is so aptly named. Stepping into the lobby, you immediately feel at home and at ease.

Standing out from the vast properties that dot the Promenade des Anglais, this atypical boutique hotel resembles a grand seaside manor. In this little corner of paradise, first-time visitors encounter repeat guests while the friendly staff sees to everyone’s comfort.

The house is named after Jean-François de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse, paying homage to this intrepid 18th-century French navy officer who led expeditions around the world and welcoming modern explorers – whether they travel by sea or by land.

We thus invite you to find our unobtrusive doorway along the Promenade des Anglais and spend time in this peaceful natural haven, with the very best of Nice right on our doorstep.

Celebrate with us, as our historic hotel has just completed a significant transformation. At the helm of this great adventure was Friedmann & Versace, a Parisian design studio headed by two gifted women. Together they created a signature look where southern France encounters a self-possessed modernity, all while preserving our unique character.

From the décor and color palette to the furnishings and a reimagined layout, a universe of soft light and calm refinement lie in store for you. Welcome to the next chapter of the La Pérouse story.

NICE CARNIVAL
In the month of February, the city comes even more alive when it holds the largest carnival in France. This annual event attracts young and old alike to check out the dazzling costumes and decorations.

For 15 days, including three weekends, a procession of enormous floats travel down city streets. The theme changes each year, and throngs of people flock to Nice to be part of the festivities. The best place to see this spectacle of colors and glitz is the area from Place Masséna to Jardin Albert 1er.

The famous Bataille de Fleurs (Flower Battle) also contributes to the international renown of the Nice Carnival. Mimosa, lilies and other blossoms are tossed from the passing floats, raining fresh flowers into spectators’ outstretched arms.

If you’re planning a trip to Nice during the 15 days of Carnival, make sure to book your hotel well in advance. And don’t miss our special offers to add even more enjoyment to your stay as a couple, a family or with friends.

THE OLD TOWN
To visit Vieux Nice – or Vieux as the locals affectionately call it – is to immediately step into a picturesque Italian village. A small town within the metropolis, this popular destination is lively throughout the year. Its surprising Italianate architecture also draws tourists from near and far.

Old Nice forms a rough triangle: Colline du Chateau dominates one corner, while Place Masséna and Place Garibaldi – among the most beautiful spots in the entire city – anchor the western and northern points, respectively.

As you stroll the narrow streets, your eyes are drawn to ochre-colored storefronts, charming boutiques and food shops selling socca. This unleavened flatbread made of chickpea flour is perfect for on-the-go snacking. Better yet, have a seat at a sidewalk café and order a beverage to go with your goûter.

When you stay at La Pérouse Hotel, it takes no time at all to head down the hill and immerse yourself in this slice of Niçois life at any time of day or night. And while you’re there, you might as well have a bit more socca…

MARKETS IN PROVENCE
When early morning comes to Cours Saleya, just a 5-minute walk along the Promenade des Anglais, the city awakens to a riot of colors. The reason? Flowers as far as the eye can see.

The flower market at Cours Saleya is a must-see for all who are in Nice for the first time. Whether for strolling or shopping, this extraordinary place offers a beautiful start to anyone’s day. No wonder it’s a favorite destination of both tourists and locals.

A visit to the legendary flower market in Nice is a bucolic escape without having to leave the city. As you go from stall to stall, you will also discover an assortment of local and artisanal products.

After filling your senses, treat yourself to a coffee break at one of the many open-air cafes that surround the market. This harmonious miscellany of sights, scents and sound will doubtlessly become one of your most treasured souvenirs of your time on the French Riviera.  The flower market is open Tuesday through Sunday all year long.

CASTLE HILL
La Pérouse Hotel boasts a fantastic vantage point of the Bay of Nice and the city. But for an even higher view, climb the stairs near the hotel entrance – or take the Art Deco elevator – to the top of Colline du Château.

A long time ago, a Greek settlement was located here. More than a millennium later, a castle was erected on the hilltop – then destroyed in 1706. Although the structure is gone, you can still visit the ruins.

With numerous attractions and winding paths, this lush oasis between Port Lympia and the old town attracts many visitors all year long. But the main reason they come is that at 300 feet (92 meters) high, the lookout area – sitting just above La Pérouse Hotel – offers the region’s most breathtaking panoramic view, especially when the sun dips beyond the curve of the bay.

With green spaces and a large playground, the park at Castle Hill is a favorite destination for children and their parents on a family vacation in Nice.

ARCHEOLOGY MUSEUM OF NICE-CIMIEZ
Ideal for an outing with children in Nice, the Gallo-Roman museum of Cimiez is located on the heights of the city. This ancient Roman city allows young and old alike to explore the finds brought to light through archaeological excavations. What a wonderful site for learning more about the civilizations that long preceded us in this region.

The visit includes a walk near the ruins of an ancient arena, an outdoor museum on the baths of antiquity, and an indoor tour dedicated to the artifacts. This thoughtful museum has set up play areas so that children can discover the Roman world for themselves, including by unearthing relics buried in sand.

Cultural activities and exhibitions are scheduled throughout the year. Once you’ve booked a stay in our Nice hotel, the next order of business is to consult the calendar of events of this superb archaeology museum.
