Avenue Félix Faure in Menton is home to the Grand Hôtel des Ambassadeurs, a historic establishment renovated in 2016, which has retained its prestige since its construction around 1899.

The Grand Hôtel des Ambassadeurs on Avenue Félix Faure in Menton is a historic establishment. An 1899 advertisement presented it as a first-class venue with « 100 rooms and lounges ». Renovated around 1910 by its then-owner, Charles Wasmus, it served as a military hospital during World War I.
Today, it stands as one of the few grand hotels from that era still in operation. The establishment underwent a complete renovation in 2016, preserving its charm and prestige.
The hotel is located at Avenue Félix Faure, 06500 Menton. It is a short walk, approximately 2 minutes, from the Tourist Office. Several Zest bus stops are nearby: Majestic (52 m) served by lines 1, 2, 6, 8, and shuttle, and Biovès (85 m) by lines 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 24.
