Location & what to see
Menton stretches between the Mediterranean and the first foothills of the Alps, on the Italian border. The town combines a seafront promenade, subtropical gardens and an old town with colourful façades. The Carnolès neighbourhood, where the hotel is located, faces the coast and retains a residential atmosphere. Borrigo Beach is 10 m away; you can alternate between swimming, walks along the seafront and visits around town.
Palais Carnolès, the former summer residence of the Princes of Monaco, houses a museum and is 80 m away. Its citrus garden features a collection of fruit trees emblematic of the region. Carnolès railway station, 700 m away, serves the coastal line to Menton, Monaco and Nice. In central Menton, the Musée Jean Cocteau and the old town's narrow streets make for a cultural outing; the museum is 1.7 km away. Monaco and its Oceanographic Museum are 6 km away, making them suitable for a day trip.
The mild climate makes it possible to enjoy the coast for much of the year. Summer suits days at the beach but attracts more visitors; spring and the shoulder season are good for walks in the gardens and visits to the historic centre. In February, the Fête du Citron brings Menton to life with citrus sculptures and parades. You can spend the morning at Palais Carnolès, the afternoon by the sea and the end of the day in the old town's narrow streets.
