The nautically themed Hotel Le Nouveau Monde, an upscale property built in 2012, faces the sea in Saint-Malo, France. Its location is about a 15-minute walk to the maze of narrow streets in the city's historic, walled center. This beige, masonry hotel riffs on the themes of French explorers, with wall-spanning maps and floor-to-ceiling leather bound books. Most of the lovely 83 rooms face the waterfront, as does the gourmet restaurant and bar; breakfast costs extra. An indoor pool, on the top floor of the hotel, has lap lanes and water jets and the spa includes a hammam-style sauna. If Le Nouveau Monde is booked, travelers can try a similar property, Residence Reine Marine.

The 20 rooms are decorated in dark, handsome tones, with some rooms sporting private balconies and unobstructed ocean views. Bathrooms are neutral and contemporary, with floor-to-ceiling metro tiling and quality chrome fixtures, but they are small and reaching the old town requires a 15-minute walk. The hotel features a large roof terrace with panoramic views of Saint-Malo, free Wi-Fi, and free on-site guest parking. Breakfast comes recommended and is available for a fee in the hotel's Creperie Restaurant.

Housed in a beautiful Belle Epoque building on the beach in a quiet area of Saint-Malo, this 178-room four-pearl property has a popular restaurant and spa. Rooms vary drastically, from compact and dated Standard Rooms to more modern Suites with fantastic sea views. Although the building and location are lovely, the hotel is not within easy walking distance to the center of Saint-Malo. But there's no question that the Grand Hotel has character and the distinctiveness of another era, not to mention its own brand of cosmetics and two renowned chefs. Still, travelers might want to consider the slightly less-expensive Hotel Antinea down the beach.
