“What stands out to me is this hotel's historical elegance blended with modern wellness amenities in central Nice. The dual rooftop pools, both indoor and outdoor, create a unique leisure space, complemented by an Italian restaurant that seems to draw inspiration from the seasons. Despite some reports of small rooms, the property's prime location near attractions like the Promenade des Anglais, plus its luxurious spa offerings, could make it a compelling choice.”

Excellent Experience, A Grateful Guest's Perspective

relaxing decoration helpful staff extensive breakfast

I found the lobby decoration to be very relaxing. It resembled an art gallery with white walls and marble. Reception staff offered very helpful advice. Their support was invaluable. I was happy to access my room early, well before the official check-in time. The buffet breakfast was amazing!!! It was available until noon. I really appreciated the hot and tasty bread and pastries.

I noticed the room lacked a door separating the shower area and wash area. This is a slight drawback for those prioritizing complete privacy.

This hotel is very close to the walking street. It is approximately 400 meters from Massena. The metro station is just in front of the building. I found transport from the airport direct and practical. I greatly appreciated the convenience.

EXCELLENT Hotel experience

free drinks convenient location easy access nice spa

I have just returned from a four-night visit. The hotel provided complimentary drinks daily stocked in the minibar. The hotel location is very convenient as everything is within a 15-minute walk. I used the tram from the airport. The tram stop is directly outside the hotel. The hotel spa was relaxing and never crowded.

I only found one very minor fault, a few of the staff require more training to match the standards.
