Designed with Bauhaus chicness, the upscale Hotel Victoria is a seaside property in quaint village just 11 minutes by train from Monaco. There aren't many features at this modernist hotel, but what's on offer is executed to perfection: The bar is open 24/7; the pebbly beach across the street is beautiful, if busy; and minibars are included in the room rate. All 32 rooms also provide coffee- and tea-making facilities, flat-screen TVs, and sleek (albeit small) bathrooms. It's lovely for couples looking for a quiet seaside vacation, but families are also catered to with bottle warmers, cots, and free stays for those under 10. Travelers looking for a pool may want to consider sister property Hotel Napoleon in Menton.
