8 best pet-friendly hotels in Nice

Pet-friendly hotels in Nice suit travellers who want a relaxed Riviera stay without leaving their dog or cat behind. Nice’s best-known waterfront, the Promenade des Anglais, is ideal for daily strolls with sea views, and it’s well used by visitors and locals alike. For a more atmospheric base, the Vieux Nice area around Cours Saleya is a lively hub of cafés and markets, with the square famed for its flower stalls.

A genuinely pet-friendly hotel goes beyond simply “accepting animals”: look for clear policies, staff who understand guest access with pets, and practical touches such as space to settle comfortably and straightforward routes to nearby walks. This page’s selected options also fit well for couples, small families and pet owners who want convenience—easy links to the seafront, walkable neighbourhoods, and a calmer rhythm for early and late breaks.

Where to stay depends on your pace. Choose the Promenade des Anglais for classic seaside living and long evening walks, or base yourself in/near Vieux Nice (Cours Saleya) for character streets, market energy and quick access to local terraces. In our bookable inventory, examples include Hôtel Le Petit Palais (4★), Hotel Au Picardy (3★) and Villa Leonie (3★), alongside Durante (3★) and the more central-feeling options such as Hotel les Messugues By Alain Llorca (3★) for a well-rounded Nice stay.
