Renovated throughout, this former palace built in the “Belle Epoque” faces the sea in the middle of the Promenade du Soleil in Menton. With views of the sea or park, its 92 rooms offer modern comfort with decor recalling the Riviera’s hours of glory when the lucky few danced the foxtrot and charleston in the ballroom. Royal Westminster, 28, avenue Félix Faure, Menton (04 93 28 69 69)
