Historic French Riviera hotel in glitzy Nice

Hotel Nice Beau Rivage, France

Property details

An intimate 19th-century hotel located in Nice's old quarter, near the seafront and Promenade des Anglais - includes breakfast
  • Superb promenade setting: Built over 150 years ago, Hotel Nice Beau Rivage sits mere metres from Nice’s famous Promenade des Anglais. Visited by an illustrious roll call of writers and artists in the past, including Matisse, F Scott Fitzgerald and Chekov, today it retains a certain air of creativity.

  • Beach R&R: Opposite the hotel, you’ll find one of the largest private beaches on the Riviera. Kick back on a sun bed, or go for a refreshing dip in the waters. Whilst it's not operated by the hotel, there's also a restaurant on the beach, just 100 metres from the hotel, which offers snacks throughout the day.

  • Laid-back breakfasts: You’ll enjoy a breakfast buffet in the airy breakfast room, made up of hot and cold options and, of course, classic French pastries. If you're taking the morning slowly, opt to dine in the comfort of your room (fees apply). Then there's the stylish bar and the patio, where you can sip on cocktails in an alfresco setting.

The main train station is around two kilometres away, while the airport is a 15-minute drive from the hotel. A tram service is available nearby.

Location and what's nearby

While there are balmy days warm enough for beach lounging even in the winter months, there are plenty of other enticements to keep you occupied. The hotel is on the edge of the old town, but still within easy walking distance to the main centre.

Take in the colours and heady fragrance of the famous Nice Flower Market, which is only a five-minute walk away. For some culture, you could visit the Nice Opera, or just stroll along the famed Promenade des Anglais, mere metres away.
