A Historic Riviera Landmark

Hotel Martinez first opened its doors in 1929 and soon became known for its distinctive seven-storey Art Deco architecture. Designed by architect Charles Palmero, the landmark property was completed in just 14 months.

Today, the hotel’s blue wrought-iron balconies overlooking the Mediterranean Sea remain among its most photographed features. In 2013, the property was acquired by Hyatt and later became part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt.
