The pearl of the Riviera finally had its palace. Long remaining on the sidelines of the luxury race waged by Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Monaco, Menton has just put its name on the high-end hotel map with Villa Genesis, its very first 5-star hotel. A consecration for a city of character, famous for its gardens, its pastel facades and its climate, among the mildest in France.
Menton’s First 5-Star Hotel
Until now, Menton had no 5-star establishments, leaving its most discerning visitors to head for Monaco or Cap-Martin. By achieving its fifth star, Villa Genesis becomes the very first, and currently the only, 5-star hotel in the town. A first that meets a real demand in a destination undergoing a revival, where other luxury projects are already announced in the Garavan area.

A Neoclassical Villa One Hundred Metres from the Sea
Located at 7 avenue de la Madone, Villa Genesis occupies an elegant building with classical inspiration, whose ornaments pay homage to the great French Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. Modernised after its acquisition in 2015 while preserving its neoclassical charm, it stands one hundred metres from the beach, out of sight, between the sea and mountains, and a stone’s throw from both Italy and Monaco. A rare location, at the crossroads of several Mediterranean lifestyles.
Thirty Rooms Facing the Mediterranean
The hotel offers thirty rooms and suites, available in several categories, from the Cosy room to the Junior Suite. Six junior suites can be converted into family suites, a valuable asset for high-end clients who are increasingly travelling with their families. The volumes, the light and the soft tones extend the tranquility of the garden and the seaside.
Palace Service on a Human Scale
A swimming pool, bar, room service and concierge service make up a focused yet complete offering, in keeping with this human-scale establishment. Villa Genesis opts for intimacy rather than sheer size, true to Menton’s discreet and refined spirit. A confidential address that could well attract travellers seeking an authentic Riviera, far from the hustle and bustle of the major resorts.
With this first 5-star hotel, Menton is not just filling a gap: the town is asserting a new ambition on the luxury tourism scene. Villa Genesis may be just the first chapter in the upscale development of the entire destination.
