Your hotel in downtown Menton
Menton and the Belle Époque
Nestled between the curves of Cap Martin and the Italian hills, Menton overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, backed by the foothills of the Alps. Its microclimate, famous since the 19th century, allows exotic gardens, orange and lemon trees to flourish, attracting those in search of mild weather and sea air.
Our hotel, located in the city center on the Promenade du Soleil, welcomes you facing the sea. A building steeped in history, a garden facing the sea, and all around, the charm of a city with palm trees, pastel facades, and the scent of citrus fruits...
The Balmoral, a place steeped in history
Built in 1859 under the name Hôtel Victoria, the Balmoral is one of the oldest hotels in Menton still in operation. Its Belle Époque façade, discreet moldings, and wrought-iron balconies tell the story of a time when aristocrats came to spend the winter on the Riviera.
Renamed the Balmoral, it was redesigned by architect Félix Vérola, who added a columned attic and sculpted pediment, before being modernized in the 1930s with an elegant rotunda dining room. Popular with aristocrats, it has welcomed Archduke Albert of Austria, Prince Jaime of Bourbon and the Cáceres family from Venezuela. A witness to a golden age, this hotel in the center of Menton still welcomes guests today with the same promise: an exceptional location with a family atmosphere and a human touch.
