WHY WE PICKED THIS HOTEL
In the middle of Hyères, a short drive from the beach, with a hotel where the restaurant, bar, pool, and garden give it more depth than a typical town stay.
HOTEL DESCRIPTION
LILOU is set in the centre of Hyères, just below the old town, in a restored historic building that feels more like a stylish Riviera townhouse than a classic resort hotel. The setting is urban rather than seaside, with cafés, local streets and cultural spots close by, while the coast is a short drive away. The hotel has 37 rooms across four floors, and the overall feel is intimate, design-led and calm. It is more about a well-located city stay with character than a full-service wellness escape, with a restaurant, bar, terrace and small outdoor pool adding to the atmosphere.
Our take on the stay
Eliza
Set in central Hyères, LILOU combines a town location with a garden, pool, and restaurant that make it feel closer to a small resort than a typical city hotel. The outdoor space is what really defines the stay.
HOTEL LOCATION
THIS IS GREAT
A garden with a seasonal outdoor pool in the middle of Hyères, which gives the hotel a much calmer centre than most town stays manage to offer
A central address that still feels slightly removed once you step inside, making it easy to explore Hyères on foot and come back to somewhere more relaxed
A restaurant and cocktail bar that keep the hotel lively beyond check-in and bedtime, so the ground floor feels like part of the stay rather than just a reception area
A smaller scale with 37 rooms, which helps the place feel more intimate than larger town hotels nearby
An easy base for mixing town time and beach time, with Hyères around you and the coast less than 15 minutes away by car

Hyères
Hyères sits along the Côte d’Azur with a quieter, more understated feel, where palm-lined streets, historic squares, and long stretches of coastline shape the town. Just beyond the centre, the Giens Peninsula opens into salt flats, sandy beaches, and clear water that draws people out toward the sea. LILOU hotel is set within this part of Hyères, close to both the shoreline and the slower rhythm that defines this stretch of the coast.
