Our notes
Hôtel Le Negresco
Le Negresco is a five-star palace on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, facing the Baie des Anges. According to the hotel's own website its facade is the work of the architect Édouard-Jean Niermans, who was entrusted with the design in 1911; the hotel was inaugurated in 1913 and it is one of the few palaces on the Promenade to have kept its original architecture. The building was listed as a historic monument in 1975, and the upper facade was renewed in 2022. Its Beaux-Arts style mixes Neoclassical columns with Rococo medallions, bull's-eye windows and garlands, and the pink dome is a symbol of the city.
Inside, the hotel combines art and antiques with contemporary design: rooms and suites range from Empire-style and canopy beds to street-art interiors, and the Salon Royal sits under a glass dome. The restaurants include the Michelin-starred Le Chantecler, led by chef Virginie Basselot, the brasserie La Rotonde, and the beach restaurant N La Plage, open from May to September. N Le Spa is built around the idea of art, and is open daily from 9.30 am to 7.30 pm.

The area
Nice has been the Riviera's winter address since the English built the Promenade des Anglais in the early nineteenth century. Walk it, sit on one of the blue chairs, and look at the Negresco, the Belle Epoque hotel that stands for the whole city. Nice has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2021.
The old town is for mornings: coffee in the narrow lanes, vintage shops on Rue Droite, and the market on Cours Saleya. Up the hill in Cimiez, the Musee Matisse sits in a seventeenth-century villa next to Roman ruins. By the port, the Grotte du Lazaret shows the coast was inhabited long before anyone thought of tourism.
For evenings, Place du Pin near the port is the lively, gay-friendly square. Winter and spring are the value seasons here; July and August are the most expensive.
