Hôtel La Pérouse Nice

At 11 Quai Rauba-Capeu, at the foot of Castle Hill, Hôtel La Pérouse is a four-star property with 53 rooms and suites. Its hillside setting places it between the seafront and the streets of Old Nice.

A lemon-tree garden surrounds Le Patio restaurant. The swimming pool and terraces offer outdoor spaces shaped by the site’s steep terrain. The pool is a hotel swimming pool rather than a natural bathing pool. Views and outdoor space differ between room categories, so confirm a sea view or terrace when booking.

The hotel can appeal to travellers seeking a more intimate property near the Old Town. Reception is open 24 hours. Contact the hotel before booking to discuss accessibility, specific room requirements or dining arrangements.

Visitor reviews

Highlights: Reviews emphasise the spectacular setting of La Perouse, tucked below Castle Hill, with views over the Baie des Anges in the best rooms and from the terraces. Guests appreciate the more intimate atmosphere compared with the large Promenade hotels, the garden, pool, relative calm and immediate access to Old Nice. Positive feedback often mentions the staff, the charm of the address and the feeling of staying in a hidden place while remaining in the heart of the city.

Areas for improvement: Criticism mainly concerns the hotel's vertical layout and the differences between categories. Some rooms offer a stronger experience than others depending on the view, terrace or position. Visitors also mention circulation with steps or lifts, and high expectations around room and bathroom details after renovation. The rate can feel high if the expected view is not part of the stay.

Overall impression: The overall trend remains very positive for travellers who want a romantic, discreet and panoramic address. La Perouse appeals through its hillside setting, terraces and immediate proximity to Old Nice. Reviews suggest choosing a category with a view or terrace to fully enjoy what makes the hotel different.
