Welcome Hotel, Historic hotel along the waterfront in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France.

This family-run hotel occupies a six-story building with a peach-colored facade and sea-blue shutters, offering 35 air-conditioned rooms with balconies overlooking the bay and harbor of Villefranche-sur-Mer.

Built in 1710 and operated by the same family since the 1940s, the hotel has welcomed renowned guests including Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Winston Churchill, and Kiki de Montparnasse throughout its centuries of operation.

The hotel features a room named after Jean Cocteau, who frequently visited the property, and displays one of his drawings in the wine bar, reflecting its deep connections to artists and writers of the French Riviera.

The hotel provides a 24-hour front desk, free Wi-Fi throughout the property, valet parking for an additional fee, airport shuttle services, and a sauna, while the train station is an eight-minute walk away.

The hotel offers guests the opportunity to rent a sailboat with a skipper for half-day or full-day excursions, allowing exploration of the Mediterranean coastline directly from the waterfront wine pier.
