Best Hotels in Nice with Family Suites and Apartments
7 family-friendly hotels with family suite in Nice . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Looking for a Nice hotel where the kids do not sleep two metres from your bed? Five city hotels offer real family suites, separate-bedroom apartments, or aparthotel-style residences with kitchenettes. The shortlist runs from a 3-star beachfront in Mont Boron with family rooms for four, to a 5-star on the Promenade des Anglais with family suites and a private beach club. Every option has either a separate sleeping area for kids, a true two-room layout, or an apartment-style unit with kitchen. Most also sit within a 5-minute walk of the pebble beach, and the Old Town and Carré d'Or selections all give you supermarket access for picnic packing.
Nice splits into distinct family neighbourhoods. Vieux-Nice and Cours Saleya offer market mornings and apartment-style boutique stays in 17th-century buildings. Carré d'Or sits one block from the Promenade and gives you the best beach access for a daypack family. Mont Boron at the eastern end is residential and quieter, with hilltop views and small pebble coves. The Arenas business district on the airport side has the only proper aparthotel with a kids-suitable indoor pool. Each area suits a different age and budget.
🛏️Why a family suite makes Nice easier with kids
Nice hotels charge a tourist tax of 5.50 EUR per adult per night on top of the room rate, which adds up over a 7-night stay. Booking a family suite or apartment for one room rather than two adjoining rooms cuts the tax in half. The same logic applies to breakfast: most central hotels charge 18 to 28 EUR per person, so a kitchenette unit saves 250 to 450 EUR over a week for a family of four.
Walking ranges differ between properties. From Vieux-Nice to the beach is 90 seconds. From Cimiez or Mont Boron, you need either the tram (Cimiez) or a car (Mont Boron). For families with kids under six, walkability matters more than the room itself; a 5-star with a 30-minute commute to the beach loses to a 3-star at the seafront. Three of the five picks below sit within 300 metres of the beach.
Parent's take
If you have two kids over five and a 7-day stay, a 110 sqm apartment in Vieux-Nice or a kitchenette unit at the Nemea Arenas pays for itself by midweek. The kids get their own room, breakfast and lunch happen at the apartment, and you only eat out for dinner. Compared with two adjoining hotel rooms plus daily restaurant meals, an apartment week typically saves 300 to 600 EUR all in.
Our Top 7 Picks
Hotels in Nice with family suite, sorted by guest rating.
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.

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.
Maison Albar - Le Victoria
Carré d'Or
Wonderful
498 reviews
Maison Albar Le Victoria is a 5-star on Avenue de Suède in the Carré d'Or with its own private beach section on the Promenade des Anglais. Family suites include a separate living area, hammam access, and a kid-friendly breakfast buffet. Sun loungers, beach towels, and parasols are included in the rate.
From
€1245/night
Why families love Maison Albar - Le Victoria
The Maison Albar family suite gave us a true bedroom with a closing door plus a separate living room with a sofa-bed for the kids. The 5-star service shows up in the practical details: cot delivered before arrival, kid-friendly breakfast options on a separate counter, and beach towels handed to us at the door. The private beach section saved us 80 EUR per day on lounger rental, and the hammam ran kid-free hours every morning.
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.
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.
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
For the money this is the smartest family booking in Nice. We paid under €250 in peak July for a courtyard-side family room with working air-con, a real cot, and a kitchen corner that heated milk at the right temperature. Two minutes walk to the supermarket, five minutes to the Promenade, and the night desk lent us a thermometer when our little one spiked. Proper service.
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.
💡Practical tips for booking a family suite in Nice
- 1Pick Vieux-Nice or Carré d'Or if your kids are over four. Vieux-Nice is car-free, Carré d'Or has level pavements for buggies, and both put you within 5 minutes of the beach. Skip Mont Boron unless you have a car or kids over ten who can manage hills.
- 2Book a kitchenette unit if your stay is over four nights. Daily breakfast for four at a Nice 4-star runs 80 to 120 EUR. After three days you have paid the cost difference between a standard room and an apartment. Monoprix on Avenue Jean Médecin handles weekly shopping.
- 3Most Nice family rooms sleep four with one bedroom. If you have two kids over six and want everyone with their own room, look at Palais Saleya's apartment units (separate bedrooms) or Maison Albar's family suites with separate living areas.
- 4The pebble beaches of Nice are hard on kids' feet. Bring water shoes for everyone under twelve. They cost 8 to 15 EUR at Sport 2000 on Rue de France or any pharmacy near the Promenade. Saves a week of complaints.
- 5Nice has a tourist tax of 5.50 EUR per adult per night. It is not included in the room rate and is paid on checkout. Budget around 75 to 80 EUR extra for a 7-night family stay; book one family suite rather than two rooms to halve the impact.
