The Pool at Hotel La Perouse Nice

"There's a pretty poolside restaurant that serves excellent French food, as well as a rooftop Jacuzzi"

"All rooms underwent some serious renovations in 2013 and have a breezy, inviting style that makes you think twice about leaving them for a drink at the new patio bar or a dip in the cliff-side pool"

"Lower-floor rooms face a lemon-tree-shaded courtyard and pool; upper-floor rooms have magnificent sea vistas"

"The best-situated hotel in central Nice, at the foot of Le Château, and with a rooftop pool and fabulous views over the promenade des Anglais and Baie des Anges"

"The sundeck, sauna and gorgeous infinity pool with sea views add to the sense of a hilltop eyrie, a vibe shared by the immaculate guestrooms and secluded dining areas, both inside and out"

"Unlike the neighboring Hotel Suisse, La Perouse features many property amenities, including a hot tub and seasonal swimming pool along with panoramic views of the Bay of Angels"

"Equally stirring, there’s a lovely pool patio restaurant (above) shaded by lemon trees"

"A whirlpool (only heated May through October) and solarium are on the roof, and the hotel boasts a small panoramic gym, as well"
