Which room to book at The Maybourne Riviera
The Panoramic Sea View Studio. Every room in the building has a sea-facing terrace, so the entry Sea View Studio already delivers the view, but the Panoramic adds 10 square metres and the panoramic line over the Riviera coastline for what is, on the hotel's own ladder, the last step before the jump to suites.
The room to book
Panoramic Sea View Studio
50 m²Panoramic, French Riviera
Ten square metres over the entry studio and the panoramic line of sight. The most view for the least money below the suites.

Why this one
The three studios are close in size and share the same kit. On the hotel's own pages the Sea View Studio is 40 square metres with a 15 square metre terrace, the Grand is 45 with 20, and the Panoramic is 50 with 15; all three have a freestanding marble bath, a rainfall shower and a Toto loo, and all three face the sea. What the Panoramic adds is the panoramic line, the reason the hotel is on a cliff in the first place, and the space to breathe inside without paying for a suite. The Grand's extra five metres of terrace are pleasant; the Panoramic's extra ten metres of room are what you notice at seven in the evening.
Above the studios the ladder stops being about the view, which every room has, and starts being about floor area, level changes and water. The Sea View Junior Suite at 60 square metres is the honest step up, and the two duplexes at 80 are where a couple with children go. The two categories with a private plunge pool, the Infinity Pool Duplex at 80 and the Infinity Blue at 90, are what the hotel's photography sells; if a pool of your own is the reason, book one of those and skip everything in between. The hotel publishes no rates, so the ladder shows what each step buys; check what it costs on your dates.
- Ask for
- Ask for an upper level and a corner or Monaco-facing position, and say when you book that the panorama is the reason for the stay; the building is a cascade of terraces and the higher tiers see over the ones below. If you are three, the Sea View Studio sleeps two only, so the Grand or the Panoramic is the floor.
- Avoid
- Nothing here is a bad room. The Surrenne Suite is the one to read carefully: it is 45 square metres inside, smaller than the Panoramic Studio, and its 70 square metre terrace and wellness kit are the point, so do not book it for the room. And do not book the entry studio for a family; its own page caps it at two.
Suites against rooms
Two suites earn a paragraph. The Infinity Blue Suite, 90 square metres by Bryan O'Sullivan with a private infinity plunge pool on a 40 square metre terrace and, on its own page, Monaco and the Mediterranean in the view, is the hotel in the photograph; the Infinity Pool Duplex at 80 square metres gives the same pool on a smaller terrace across two levels. If a pool of your own is why you are here, it is one of those two or nothing, because no studio has one.
The Surrenne Suite is the odd one. Forty-five square metres inside, 70 outside, a thermal bath, a Technogym bike, an infrared mat and priority access to the Surrenne Riviera spa, by Rigby & Rigby. It is a wellness suite sold to people who will spend the day on the terrace and in the club, and it makes no sense for anyone else.
