Right in Beausoleil, facing Monaco, Hôtel La Tonkine embodies the spirit of a 3-star boutique hotel that is both well-positioned and genuinely distinctive. Its Belle Époque façade, contemporary interiors and easy comfort make it a place of real character — simple to love and to live in. Because here, warm hospitality and neighbourhood spirit come together with sincerity.
There was a time when Beausoleil had a nickname: the Tonkin. That was the name given to this cosmopolitan corner of the city, clinging to the hillside above Monaco. Popular and colourful, people came from far away to live close together, in a lively density of neighbours and mixed accents. Hôtel La Tonkine pays homage to this joyful vibrato of the neighbourhood: its name resonates with a panache that is both exuberant and modest, which has so gracefully run through the spirit of Beausoleil for over a century.
At Hôtel La Tonkine, hospitality preserves the meaning and culture of closeness. Here, Beausoleil is loved for its authenticity and its way of being so near to Monaco while keeping its own momentum. The team embraces this spirit with a well-measured Mediterranean warmth: available, attentive, quick to advise and happy to share a recommendation, a detour or a spur-of-the-moment idea. Under Michela’s guidance, a style of welcome unfolds that puts guests at ease right away and turns every escape into a spontaneous moment of connection.
Staying at Hôtel La Tonkine means loving places that have temperament and don’t follow a script. Whether on holiday or for business, guests come for this distinctly individual character, this pleasantly off-the-beaten-track spirit and the independence of a human-scale place. They return for what they feel there — a gently whimsical atmosphere. A stay in Monaco then takes on a more personal, freer and perhaps simply savvier quality: that of travellers with an eye and true instinct for finding the loveliest and most spirited spots on the Riviera.
