Inside Château de Valmer on the French Riviera

More cozy than grand, this hotel amid vineyards and palm trees is elegant but not recommended by our editor, who stayed anonymously. The 44 accommodations occupy the original mansion and a newer wing that also houses a spa. The gourmet restaurant has a terrace overlooking the grounds and a free-form outdoor pool. Down an allée of palms is a beach club and restaurant attached to a four-star sister hotel.
