Hôtel La Pérouse, Nice, Côte d'Azur, France
A former prison carved into an impressive limestone cliff at the eastern end of the Promenade des Anglais watching over all of Nice, Hôtel la Pérouse is definitely the place for soaking up some of the area's most fabulous views, and enjoying a little more peace and quiet than the hotels set further west.
Those wanting to get out and explore will love that it's nestled between the port and the old town, just seconds from the beach and the Castle Hill Elevator; and lounge lizards will adore the sunny rooftop terrace and heated pool shaded by lemon trees.
