PRICE:
Frommer's Highly Recommended

This hotel across from the beach is famous for having housed both Matisse and Chekhov during its heyday around the turn of the 20th century. It was radically renovated in the early 1980s, and today the interior has a bland but tasteful modern decor and a staff that seems to make a point of appearing overworked regardless of how few guests there might be. The soundproof rooms are vaguely Art Deco and small, with contemporary bathrooms. For dining, Le Bistrot du Rivage is relatively formal and very appealing. Its specialties are meats and fish prepared on a large grill. Between May and September, tables are set on a terrace.
