Best Hotels in Nice with Family Suites and Apartments
14 family-friendly hotels with family suite in Nice . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Nice is a city break more than a resort, and central hotel rooms are often small, so the room layout decides how comfortable a family stay feels. Our list covers fifteen hotels with family suites, family rooms or apartments. In Vieux-Nice, Palais Saleya Boutique Hôtel has apartment-style suites of 37 to 110 square metres with kitchenettes, next to the Cours Saleya market. Maison Lamartine in the Musicians Quarter gives every studio a kitchenette and a washing machine. On the seafront, Maison Albar Le Victoria offers family suites with a separate living area and a private beach section on the Promenade des Anglais, while Hotel Le Saint Paul on Mont Boron has rooms for four above the pebble coves.
Nice spreads along the curve of the Baie des Anges. The Promenade des Anglais runs the length of the pebble beach, Place Masséna links the modern centre to Vieux-Nice, where the Cours Saleya hosts a daily market, and Castle Hill rises between the Old Town and the port with a park and views over the bay. Cimiez, on the hill to the north, is quieter, while Mont Boron to the east has small coves. The tram links the airport to the centre, which helps families arriving with luggage.

🛏️Why a family suite makes Nice easier with kids
Nice works for families who want space because its best family rooms sit close to everything children enjoy: the pebble beach, Castle Hill and the Old Town lanes. Palais Saleya and Maison Lamartine add kitchenettes for bottles and simple meals, Maison Albar Le Victoria and Hotel Le Negresco bring five-star family rooms on the seafront, and Hôtel Petit Palais in Cimiez adds an outdoor pool in a walled garden.
Apartments and kitchen suites change the rhythm of a family stay in Nice. Palais Saleya Boutique Hôtel, in Vieux-Nice on Rue du Marché, has suites of 37 to 110 square metres with separate bedrooms and full kitchenettes, sleeping families of four to eight, and the Ponchettes beach is a flat 300-metre walk through the pedestrian Old Town. Maison Lamartine in the Musicians Quarter puts a kitchenette, a proper fridge and a washing machine in every studio, with a separate sleeping nook and highchairs in stock. Maison Durante in Gambetta adds a kitchen corner in its deluxe rooms, with the airport tram two streets away.
For a seafront address with more polish, three five-star hotels have family rooms on or near the Promenade des Anglais. Maison Albar Le Victoria in the Carré d'Or offers family suites with a separate living area, hammam access and a private beach section with loungers and parasols for guests, plus connecting rooms for two families travelling together. Hotel Le Negresco, the pink-domed palace on the Promenade, places its family rooms in the side wings and scores 9.3 from nearly 1,500 reviews. Anantara Plaza Nice, two minutes from the Promenade, has a rooftop pool over the bay and bike rental included.
A pool is rare in central Nice, so it is worth knowing where to find one. Hôtel Petit Palais in Cimiez has an outdoor pool in a walled hillside garden, family rooms for two adults and two children, parking in front of the hotel and the Old Town ten minutes away on foot. Hôtel La Pérouse, set against Castle Hill above the Old Port, has a small rooftop pool over the bay, sea-facing family rooms and an underground garage that fits larger cars. Nemea Appart Hotel Nice Arenas, near the airport, has a heated indoor pool and kitchenettes, though its 7.6 guest score is the lowest in our list.
Budget and practical comfort point to a handful of four-star and three-star options. Hotel Le Saint Paul on Mont Boron is a beachfront three-star with rooms for four, a terrace restaurant with kids' meals, a shaded garden and free parking, and it scores 9.0 from more than 2,800 reviews. Hotel Ambassador Nice, renovated in 2024, is 200 metres from the beach near Place Masséna, with soundproofed family rooms and board games at reception. Hôtel Le Soleia on Boulevard Victor Hugo has bunk-bed family rooms and a breakfast that opens at 6.30am, useful for early day trips along the coast.
Parent's take
For a family stay in Nice, I would choose Palais Saleya Boutique Hôtel. Its suites of up to 110 square metres give children their own bedroom and a kitchenette for simple meals, and the location is hard to beat: the Cours Saleya market at the door, the Ponchettes beach a flat 300-metre walk away and Castle Hill just behind. For a pool instead, I would pick Hôtel Petit Palais in Cimiez.
Our Top 14 Picks
Hotels in Nice with family suite, sorted by guest rating.
Hôtel Petit Palais
Cimiez
Wonderful
703 reviews
A 4-star with the rare luxury for central Nice of an outdoor swimming pool in a quiet hillside garden in Cimiez, ten minutes' walk to the Old Town and a fast drive onto the A8. Family rooms accommodate two adults plus two kids easily.
From
€200/night
Why families love Hôtel Petit Palais
The pool tipped this for us. After a Marineland day the kids do not want another twenty-minute walk to the beach, and the Petit Palais pool is in a walled garden so the only sound is birds. Family rooms on the upper floor have terraces. Parking is in front of the hotel which makes loading a swim bag at 8am painless. The breakfast buffet is small but the croissants are good.
Hotel Le Negresco
Promenade des Anglais
Wonderful
1,483 reviews
The legendary 5-star pink-domed palace on the Promenade des Anglais, with valet parking and family rooms in the side wings, plus arrangements for early breakfast in the room when families head to Marineland for opening time.
From
€200/night
Why families love Hotel Le Negresco
Yes the Negresco is grand and yes you can absolutely arrive with two damp kids and a swim bag and nobody at reception bats an eye. The valet brings your car around in five minutes which matters when you have an hour drive ahead. Family rooms are the side-wing ones; ask for the Belle Époque side rather than the modern wing if you want the view. Breakfast can be packed for the road on request.
Maison Albar - Le Victoria
Carré d'Or
Wonderful
548 reviews
A 5-star boutique in the Carré d'Or shopping district with an underground garage, family rooms with interconnecting options, and concierge support for booking Marineland tickets and pre-arranging the route.
From
€200/night
Why families love Maison Albar - Le Victoria
The location is two streets back from the Promenade so you walk to the beach in five minutes but skip the noisiest stretch. Underground parking is a relief for an SUV with a roof box. The connecting family rooms exist on request and the concierge actually researches Marineland queue times before you commit to a date. Service is calm rather than fawning, which is right for kids.
Hôtel Le Soleia by Inwood Hotels
Carré d'Or
Wonderful
803 reviews
A modern 4-star design hotel on Boulevard Victor Hugo with a partner garage two minutes' walk away, family rooms with bunk-bed options for kids, and an early-bird breakfast service that opens at 6.30am for water-park days.
From
€200/night
Why families love Hôtel Le Soleia by Inwood Hotels
We picked this because of the bunk-bed family rooms; younger kids love them and they free up enough floor space to dump a swim bag without it being underfoot. The partner garage is around the corner with reserved overnight rates, much cheaper than public lots. Breakfast at 6.30 means you make Marineland opening without the kids feeling rushed. Quiet street with no scooters.
Maison Lamartine
Musicians Quarter
Wonderful
350 reviews
Maison Lamartine offers studio apartments with a small kitchenette, which changes everything for families with bottles, purée, or a picky eater. Each apartment has a separate sleeping nook, a washing machine, and a proper fridge. Cots go in the main room and the hotel keeps a stock of highchairs.
From
€373/night
Why families love Maison Lamartine
The kitchenette saved our trip. We were travelling with a 10-month-old still on a specific brand of purée, and being able to heat it properly in a real kitchen meant no cold dinners on the floor of a hotel room. Staff delivered the wooden cot before we arrived and left a welcome note with the closest late-night pharmacy highlighted on a map. Pure class.
Hotel Le Saint Paul
Mont Boron
Wonderful
2,810 reviews
Hotel Le Saint Paul is a 3-star beachfront hotel on Boulevard Franck Pilatte in Mont Boron, with the terrace restaurant directly above the pebble coves. Family rooms sleep four with a queen and two singles or bunks. The garden provides shade when the beach gets too hot, and the parking is free, useful for families driving the Riviera.
From
€269/night
Why families love Hotel Le Saint Paul
Le Saint Paul earned its 9.0 rating with location more than luxury. The family room was simple but clean, and the balcony looked over the Bay of Villefranche. The pebble coves below are quieter than central Nice beaches because most tourists do not walk to Mont Boron. We swam every morning before breakfast on the terrace. Our kids loved the garden between the pool and the road, where we could let them run while we packed for the day.
Palais Saleya Boutique Hôtel
Vieux-Nice (Old Town)
Wonderful
874 reviews
Palais Saleya Boutique Hôtel sits in the heart of Vieux-Nice on Rue du Marché next to Cours Saleya market. The property includes apartment-style suites from 37 to 110 sqm with separate bedrooms and full kitchenettes, sleeping families of 4 to 8. The beach at Ponchettes is a 3-minute flat walk through the Old Town pedestrian zone.
From
€450/night
Why families love Palais Saleya Boutique Hôtel
We took the 70 sqm two-bedroom apartment for six nights with two kids aged 7 and 10. The unit had a real kitchen with a hob, oven, dishwasher, and a fridge big enough for a week's groceries. Cours Saleya market sits 30 metres from the door and we did breakfast and picnic lunches from the stalls. The kids slept in the second bedroom and we read on the sofa until midnight without waking them. The 3-minute walk to the beach with bags loaded was easy.
Hôtel La Pérouse Nice Baie des Anges
Castle Hill
Excellent
777 reviews
A 4-star perched against Castle Hill above the Old Port, with sea-facing rooms, a small rooftop swimming pool above the bay, and an underground garage that fits family-size cars without the height worries other Nice hotels have.
From
€200/night
Why families love Hôtel La Pérouse Nice Baie des Anges
The rooftop pool is small but the view runs the whole Baie des Anges and the kids love it. Sea-facing family rooms are real, ask for the corner one. The underground garage was the relief: full clearance for the roof box and direct lift to the room, no walking wet bags through reception. The walk to Marineland involves a twenty-minute drive followed by a manageable car park, so save energy for inside the park.
Hotel Ambassador Nice
Carré d'Or
Excellent
187 reviews
Hotel Ambassador Nice is a fully renovated 4-star on Avenue de Suède in the Carré d'Or, 200 metres from the beach and one block from Place Masséna. Family rooms fit two adults plus two kids in 24 to 28 sqm with soundproofed walls and blackout curtains. The hotel keeps a board-game library at reception for rainy afternoons.
From
€357/night
Why families love Hotel Ambassador Nice
The Ambassador family room is one of the better-priced 4-star family options in central Nice. The 26 sqm unit had a queen for parents and two singles for kids, all in one room but well-laid out so the kids' bed area felt private. Soundproofing matters here; the room was silent at midnight even with traffic on Avenue de Suède. Close to the beach (3-minute walk) and to Place Masséna for tram access. No kitchen, but breakfast is included most rates.
Maison Durante
Gambetta
Excellent
420 reviews
Maison Durante offers the best value for families in central Nice. Rooms on the courtyard side are genuinely quiet, family rooms sleep four with a proper cot slot, and the tram to the airport stops two streets away. A small kitchen corner in deluxe rooms lets parents prep bottles or purée without leaving.
From
€210/night
Why families love Maison Durante
I would book Maison Durante as the sensible family base in central Nice. Ask for the courtyard side, which is genuinely quiet, and a family room that sleeps four with space for a cot. Deluxe rooms add a small kitchen corner, handy for warming milk or preparing purée. A supermarket is two minutes away on foot, the airport tram stops two streets away, and the Promenade is within easy walking distance.
Hotel La Villa Nice Promenade
11 Rue Saint Philippe
Excellent
100 reviews
Hotel La Villa Nice Promenade is a 4-star hotel on Rue Saint Philippe, a single block from the Promenade and 10 minutes by foot from Vieux Nice. The hotel rents city bikes at reception and stores them indoors overnight. Family rooms have two double beds.
From
€297/night
Why families love Hotel La Villa Nice Promenade
La Villa Promenade gets the location right for first-time Nice cyclists. The hotel sits about 100 metres from the entrance to the Promenade bike lane, so the moment you collect a bike you're safely off-road. The reception staff know the bike routes well and mark a 30-minute family ride on the city map at check-in. The lobby has a children's corner with books in three languages.
Anantara Plaza Nice Hotel - A Leading Hotel of the World
12 Avenue de Verdun
Excellent
100 reviews
Anantara Plaza Nice is a 5-star Belle Époque hotel on Avenue de Verdun, two minutes from the Promenade des Anglais. The rooftop pool overlooks the bay, and the spa, fitness centre and breakfast salon take up the original 1908 ballrooms. Bicycle rental is included in the daily rate and the concierge organises guided rides.
From
€913/night
Why families love Anantara Plaza Nice Hotel - A Leading Hotel of the World
Anantara is the polished family choice in Nice for parents who want full luxury alongside kid logistics. The bike rental fleet has high-quality city bikes and child seats with 24-hour notice. The pool deck has a separate kids' section staffed in summer, and the spa offers a children's massage menu for ages 8 plus. Connecting rooms are limited so book early. The walk to Vieux Nice takes 8 minutes through Place Masséna.
Hotel Le Grimaldi by Happyculture
15 rue Grimaldi
Excellent
100 reviews
Hotel Le Grimaldi by Happyculture is a 4-star boutique on Rue Grimaldi in the Carré d'Or, with bicycle rental in the courtyard and a continental breakfast included. Rooms use the original 1900s parquet floors and most family rooms have a small balcony.
From
€286/night
Why families love Hotel Le Grimaldi by Happyculture
Le Grimaldi is the right pick for families who want personality over chain-hotel uniformity. The bikes are well-kept and the courtyard rental setup works well, even at peak summer. Family rooms run a bit small but the location is excellent: 6 minutes by foot to Place Masséna, 8 minutes to the Promenade. The breakfast has a kids' option with juice and pastries that arrives at the table.
Nemea Appart Hotel Nice Arenas Aéroport
Arenas, Airport Area
Good
1,572 reviews
Nemea Appart Hotel Nice Arenas Aéroport is a 4-star aparthotel in the Arenas business district, 5 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes from central Nice by tram. Each apartment includes a kitchenette, fold-out bed, and en-suite bath. The hotel has a heated indoor pool, sauna, jacuzzi, and underground parking.
From
€135/night
Why families love Nemea Appart Hotel Nice Arenas Aéroport
The Nemea Arenas is the only aparthotel in Nice with a real heated indoor pool, which mattered when we had three rainy days in early May. The 1-bedroom apartment with kitchen worked well for an airport-side stay before driving up the coast. Tram line 2 to central Nice takes 15 minutes from the door. The pool restricts kids to certain hours, but we always found a window for an hour of swimming. Quieter than central Nice, and the parking made the rental car easier.
