Elegant 20th-century hotel on the seafront
Hotel Negresco is one of the most iconic properties on the famous Promenade des Anglais, and comes with a front-row view of the Mediterranean Sea. You’re in the heart of the action here – the prom buzzes with life day and night, and there are restaurants and casinos right on the doorstep. The hotel dates back to the early 20th century, and oozes period splendour at every turn – from the four-poster beds and antique furniture of the rooms to the dark-wood panelling and red décor of the salon-style bar. This jaw-dropping hotel also brags a Michelin-starred restaurant and a slick fitness centre.
