A boutique Belle Epoque city centre hotel
Located in the Musicians’ Quarter, with many of its streets named after famous composers, this hotel is set in an elegant 1920s building, just a few minutes’ walk from the Nice-Ville station and the impressive Cathédrale Saint-Nicolas de Nice. Set in the heart of the city, you’ll be based a 15-minute walk from the beach and the palm-tree lined Promenade des Anglais, which connects up to the colourful Cours Saleya and the charming streets of Old Nice.
When you’ve explored the city and fancy a rest, head back to this elegant four-star base and unwind in one of the boutique rooms with bold, Tuscan-style décor, inspired by the opulence of Nice’s villas in the 1900s. Each room features modern amenities, including free wi-fi, air-conditioning, a flatscreen TV, and an elegantly tiled en-suite bathroom with a shower. If you want the city views and one of the balconies attached to the front of the hotel, opt for a Superior Double or Twin with a terrace.
There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, but if you’re planning on fuelling up before heading out, this hotel offers a decent breakfast buffet each morning, served in the super-stylish, and very blue, dining room. There’s also the option of ordering an Express Breakfast if you want a simple coffee, pastry, and yoghurt combo in the mornings, while the hotel’s little catering service, Bon Gourmet, is available for room service 24 hours a day – the menu is made up of light bites, soups, and snacks to keep you going. Bon appétit!
