Best Family Hotels in Nice (2026)

La Perouse

Nice is probably one of the best places on the Côte d'Azur for a family holiday. Its beaches are sandy and welcoming, with great facilities, and the old town has plenty of charm (and ice cream shops). Easily explored on foot, you'll find lots of family-friendly cafes, restaurants and activities. The Cours Saleya Market will keep you very happy if you’re self-catering with the kids, while there are some excellent museums and galleries if the weather has an unlikely ‘off day’, including the Matisse & Picasso Museum and the Marc Chagall National Museum. It has a good range of family-friendly hotels, including charming B&Bs, self-catering apartments and properties with easy beach access.

For a boutique stay

Palais Saleya

  • Palais Saleya is a boutique hotel that occupies a renovated 18th-century palace in the heart of Nice. Suites are dressed in a contemporary style with bold design pieces and bright prints. All suites offer separate living spaces, and spacious self-catering apartments are available for families. A unique and stylish hotel.

For a pool

La Perouse

  • La Perouse is a charming and discreet hotel set back from the Promenade des Anglais with classic Bay views. Well-positioned for the port, markets and downtown, and the beach is just across the road. There's a lovely patio restaurant and pretty bedrooms, the best of which boast a private terrace. However, it's the large pool that kids (and adults) will really appreciate.

For a central location

Hotel Nice Excelsior

  • Hotel Nice Excelsior is a four-star hotel situated in the heart of Nice. Kids will love the fun décor in the rooms, which draws inspiration from the neighbouring Nice-Ville train station (there are family rooms too for extra space). A charming hotel perfect for those travelling with kids who will need to rest their little legs throughout the day.
  • Another option for easy city exploring is Les Suites Massena. This is a plush modern hotel featuring spacious suites (roll-out beds are provided for kids). Rooms have a Scandi-chic style with natural materials set against soft grey hues, and the best have free-standing baths.  A superb little find.

Still not sure where to book?
