Every five-star hotel on the French Riviera
The official Atout France register classifies every hotel below as five-star; rooms and dates come from its record, checked on 16 September 2026. Hotels with a Hotel5only portrait are linked.
Palace is a distinction awarded separately from the five-star classification; this column follows Atout France's list of Palace hotels, updated on 2 June 2026. See every Palace hotel in France.

Choosing a five-star hotel in the French Riviera
Choose your part of the Riviera
Our French Riviera collection brings together hotels in Var and Alpes-Maritimes. This is an editorial grouping for browsing, so start by choosing the part of the coast you want to explore. A trip built around Nice and Cannes differs from one centred on Hyères, Saint-Raphaël or the Saint-Tropez peninsula. Pick a main base before treating the whole collection as a single itinerary.
Look beyond the seafront
The Riviera also includes places away from the seafront. In Var, Hyères combines the Villa Noailles arts centre with the landscape of the Giens peninsula, while the Estérel gives Saint-Raphaël a different setting. Inland villages add another kind of outing. Decide whether art, coastal walks or village visits should shape your days, then group nearby activities rather than moving between distant ends of the region.
Check the final transport connection
Regional trains and buses can be combined for a trip without a car, but the final connection matters. Check how you will travel between the station, your accommodation and the places you plan to visit, particularly for hill villages or peninsula trips. Use the regional journey planner for your travel dates, and check the return service before committing to an evening away from your base.
The French Riviera hotel inventory
There are 26 five-star hotel records in this selection, spread across 21 locality labels. The 26 records with room counts range from 5 to 410 rooms, totalling 1,906 registered rooms. These figures describe the source inventory and are not live availability. This collection uses hotels in Var and Alpes-Maritimes. Its boundary is an editorial browsing definition, not a separate official hotel classification.
Build a shortlist you can check
The profiles in this selection link the hotel identity to its classification source. Save the addresses that suit your trip, then confirm your exact dates, room category, meal arrangements and cancellation conditions with the hotel or booking provider. Look beyond the town label when comparing locations: the actual address and your intended journeys matter more than the order in this directory. Hotel5only currently provides discovery and source information; it does not sell rooms or display live rates.
Questions before you book
Which areas does this Riviera collection cover?
Var and Alpes-Maritimes; this is our browsing scope, not an official definition of the Riviera.
Can I visit without hiring a car?
Potentially. Combine trains and buses, checking local connections and return services for your chosen itinerary.
How many five-star hotels are listed in the French Riviera?
This page currently contains 26 records from our Atout France-based catalogue. The total describes our source snapshot and may change after source review; it is not a live availability count.
How should I compare hotels in the French Riviera?
Begin with the address and the room category that fits your trip, then compare the inclusions and conditions of the offers you find. Use the official classification as a sourced category, and read any guest reviews with their provider and date. There is no combined Hotel5only ranking on this page.
