Hôtel Gabriel is a cosy boutique hotel in the heart of Menton, set in a classic Riviera building on a quiet street just behind the seafront. It’s an easy, relaxed base for exploring Menton on foot, with the old town lanes, beach, gardens and cafés all close by. Rooms are bright and comfortable, and a nice touch is that they all come with a private balcony, which makes mornings and late afternoons feel very “Riviera”. The hotel keeps things simple in the best way. There’s a welcoming bar for an apéritif, a calm breakfast setup focused on local and seasonal products, and a team that’s happy to share tips for beaches, restaurants and day trips. It’s ideal if you want Menton’s charm and coastline right there, without staying somewhere busy or impersonal.
