This hotel is perched above the Quai des Etats Unis, on the hill of the old chateau. Following the advise of another post on la-cote-dazur.com, I requested either room 504 or 501. I received 501, which has a large, very private deck. Views of the sea and the coastline. Excellent decor, ammenities and furnishings. The shared pool, sauna, and hot tub are excellent. Fitness center is small, but with walking Nice, who needs it.
The staff was helpful and really friendly. All spoke English. Breakfast and room service were excellent.
The hotel is a short walk from the flower market in Nice, which has numerous resturants.
This is an expensive hotel, but comparable to a Four Seasons or Ritz in any major US city. Stay here for a special occasion.

We visited Hotel La Perouse in October this year for our honeymoon and loved every minute. We stayed in one of the deluxe rooms which was fairly small but with a fabulous and spacious balcony over-looking the sea. The staff were all brilliant, they couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly and the service was excellent. We had fresh fruit and sparking water brought to our room every day.

The location was brilliant as well. It is right next to the old town which I think is the nicest part of Nice. You literally walk out the front door and are on the sea front. Also, whilst the road is really busy and quite noisy, La Perouse is like a little oasis of calm and quiet. As it is quite high up the noise is somehow shielded when you are inside. The pool is gorgeous – quiet, peaceful and spacious with fresh towels every day. The pool toilet is the cleanest and most luxurious toilet I have ever seen!

We plan to go back and had a fabulous time.

Having just spent six nights in Nice and putting quite a bit of research into my hotel choice I am pleased to say that La Perouse provided us an excellent base. The location is quiet and unrivalled, the pool area tranquil, and the staff are friendly and helpful, especially those at reception. The rooms are great. The food is just lovely as well. We had the breakfast every day and there is a massive choice – bread, ham, croissants, bacon, eggs, yoghurt, cake, cereal, fruit etc. We also ate in the hotel a couple of times because the restaurant is good – service and food is excellent, although there isn’t much choice on the menu. 2 mns away from the Vieux Nice, which we enjoyed every other evening.
