Luxury with a view of the sea
Occupying a prime location on the magnificent Promenade des Anglais, this landmark art deco hotel offers a luxury experience right in the heart of the French Riviera. If you can pull yourself away from the panoramic views of Baie des Anges from the terrace, treat yourself to a dip in the pool (indoor or outdoor, your choice) or try your luck at the grand on-site casino.
Moments from both the sea and city centre and just a five-minute walk from the train station, you'll be best placed to explore.

Find out more about Gambetta
Begin your adventure with a visit to the iconic Promenade des Anglais. Stretching for miles, this scenic walkway is ideal for soaking up the sun, enjoying a refreshing swim in the Mediterranean, or trying out water sports like paddleboarding. Feeling peckish? The promenade is lined with delightful cafés and restaurants serving fresh seafood, traditional Niçoise dishes such as pissaladière and socca, and classic French desserts like crème brûlée.
Beyond the promenade, Gambetta makes an excellent starting point for exploring Nice’s treasures. Around a 20-minute walk away lies the Old Town (Vieux Nice), a delightful maze of cobbled streets, colourful buildings, and bustling markets. Don’t miss the Castle Hill (Colline du Château) for stunning panoramic views of Nice and a glimpse into its fascinating history.
For art lovers, the Musée Matisse in the nearby Cimiez district is a must-visit. Around 30 minutes on foot or a short tram ride from Gambetta, this museum blends modern architecture with a rich artistic legacy. Housing a remarkable collection of Henri Matisse’s works, it’s a peaceful retreat surrounded by beautiful gardens.
As evening falls, Gambetta’s beach bars and traditional bistros come alive. Savour a cocktail as the waves lap the shore or enjoy a hearty plate of bouillabaisse while live music plays in the background.
If you’re craving something a little livelier, hop in a cab and head to the vibrant nightlife of Nice’s city centre – the perfect spot to unleash your powerful dance moves!
