Le Malte is a historic building in Menton, France, recorded under the architecture category. It began as a hotel in 1879.

First named Hôtel des Princes, it later became Hôtel de Malte and then Résidence Le Malte. Architect Alfred Auguste Marsang directed its 1913 modification.

That work added an extra floor, giving the façade greater height and a stronger presence. In 1950, the hotel became an apartment building.

Although Le Malte now serves as a residence, its exterior retains architectural details from its hotel period. The building belongs to Menton’s Belle Époque heritage.

Its history reflects the Riviera’s development as a destination for visitors seeking Menton’s mild climate, sea, and gardens. The building records a change in urban life.

Grand hotels shaped the late nineteenth-century Riviera, while Le Malte later accommodated residential life. Today, its Belle Époque character remains visible from outside.

Look at the façade for its proportions and decorative elements. Modern apartments occupy the former hotel, with updated kitchens and bathrooms, air conditioning, and private entrances.

Le Malte connects Menton’s historic area with the Riviera’s architectural past.
