Historic 4-Star Boutique Hotel in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, On Monaco's Doorsteps.
EXCLUSIVITY WALDHOF REAL ESTATE: Key Features: 4-star classification, renewed · 11 sea-view rooms and suites · 100 m² apartment · 31 m² staff apartment in Saint-Roman · Approx. 1,300 m² in total including the Saint-Roman apartment, with 630 m² of living space and 600 m² of terraces and gardens · Founded in 1920 · Full Licence IV · 4 private parking spaces and 5 more leased from the commune · Less than 1 km from Monaco · Freehold and business sold together Overview: An exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most recognised small hotels on the eastern French Riviera. This 4-star boutique property offers 11 sea-view rooms and suites on the corniche between Monaco and Menton, directly above the Golfe Bleu and less than a kilometre from the Principality. Founded in 1920 and held by the same family for a century, the house began life as a restaurant that earned a Michelin star and became one of the great tables of the Côte d'Azur. Over the decades it welcomed a discerning and at times princely clientele. That heritage remains the establishment's most valuable and least replicable asset. Both buildings were fully renovated in 2026 and brought into compliance with current regulations, and the 4-star classification has been renewed. The hotel is trading, with an established forward book. This is a genuine turnkey acquisition rather than a repositioning project. The Hotel: Eleven rooms and suites, every one with a sea view: four junior suites and seven superior rooms, including one fully accessible (PMR) room. Each is individually decorated with its own character. Several open onto private terraces or balconies over the bay, and all enjoy a sea view. A number have balneotherapy baths, and every room is air-conditioned with contemporary amenities throughout. The dining room and terrace serve a refined breakfast, taken in the room, in the salon or to take away, followed by an afternoon tearoom of pastries, fine teas and champagne. A stocked wine cellar, a full professional restaurant kitchen and reception spaces suited to private dinners and events provide immediate additional revenue channels. Facilities and Services: The hotel offers a wellness area with jacuzzi, a fitness room and an outdoor bar, alongside a professional restaurant kitchen and dedicated dining and reception spaces. The sale includes a full Licence IV, an increasingly scarce asset in the commune with independent value of its own. A night-porter room with a CCTV monitoring station provides overnight security. Guests enjoy luggage and laundry service, a complimentary beach kit and a pets-welcome policy, while a staircase leads down to the Golfe Bleu beach, five minutes on foot.
An established direct-booking engine sits alongside presence on the principal OTA platforms, backed by brand recognition and a review history no new entrant can buy. The Real Estate: The freehold extends to approximately 1,300 m² in total, including the Saint-Roman apartment. The hotel occupies some 630 m² of living space across two buildings, arranged as 11 rooms and suites and including a 100 m² apartment in the second building, suitable as an owner's residence or an income-producing rental. Around 600 m² of terraces and gardens surround the buildings. Parking comprises four private outdoor spaces, plus five additional spaces currently leased from the commune. The sale also includes a 31 m² apartment in Saint-Roman on the Monaco border, for staff accommodation or rental income. Guest parking on this stretch of coast is a material commercial advantage. The Saint-Roman apartment resolves the area's hardest operating constraint: housing seasonal staff within reach of the property. Location: The hotel sits on the coast road linking Monaco to Menton and the Italian border, less than a kilometre from the Principality and its year-round calendar of events. Below lies the Golfe Bleu, one of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin's best-loved coves, prized for its clear water and quiet setting. The local railway station puts Nice, Monaco and Ventimiglia within easy reach, and Nice Côte d'Azur airport is about 40 minutes by road. This micro-market draws Monaco business travel, event-driven demand from the Grand Prix, Yacht Show and Monte-Carlo Masters, and international leisure visitors. That profile supports both strong rates and a longer season than most of the coast. The Opportunity: Rarely does a classified 4-star hotel of this size come to market on the Monaco border with a recent full renovation, current classification, a Licence IV, guest parking, secured staff accommodation and an existing forward book. The scale suits a private operator or family office seeking a trophy asset with real cash generation, or a hotel group looking for a flagship address on Monaco's doorstep. It equally suits an investor intending to lease the business to a management company while retaining the freehold. Terms of Sale: Asking price: €12,900,000. The sale covers the freehold and the business together: the land and buildings, the hotel business (fonds de commerce), the Licence IV and all operating equipment and installations. Full financials, classification certificate, renovation documentation and forward-booking position are available to qualified buyers under a signed confidentiality agreement.
