This guide covers 15+ hotels and places to stay in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur — Hôtel Negresco, Hotel Martinez Cannes (Hyatt) and Villa Gallici top the list. Every recommendation carries its practical details: typical costs, the best time to visit, and what to know before you commit.

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur is France's most sun-drenched region, stretching from the Rhône delta in the west to the Italian border in the east. It encompasses the world-famous French Riviera (Côte d'Azur) — Nice, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez — the ancient Provençal heartland of Aix-en-Provence and Avignon, Marseille's rugged port culture, the violet lavender plateaus of Valensole, the turquoise-water Calanques, and the dramatic Gorges du Verdon. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, the region is France's premier year-round destination.
