Hyatt Regency Palais De La Méditerranée, Nice
Expert reviews
“This opulent edifice is spectacularly recessed behind the massive pillars of its majestic 1929 art-deco façade. Rooms are well-appointed and all have balconies, though it’s worth noting that the sea views tend to be obstructed by the façade’s pillars. It all feels indulgently upscale, with starchy tablecloths and starchy service to match.”
“The Palais de la Méditerranée is a landmark hotel in France’s fifth city, commanding a prominent position on the Promenade des Anglais. Behind its 1920s façade sits a splendidly seamless five-star hotel that caters for international businessmen and wealthy holidaymakers alike.”

Relaxing stay with five star service and a stunning view of the Mediterranean
Beautiful location, 3rd floor is stunning. Lovely pool. Our room on the 9th floor had a spectacular view, we enjoyed the balcony so much. The room was spacious with a big bed, very comfortable and had a door to dressing/ bathroom area which was practical as we had a 1 year old with us. The level of service was five star, all the staff were so friendly and helpful and gave us complimentary treats. Very welcoming to us and our little one. Concierge was excellent and arranged a day trip to a beach club in Cannes which was a highlight of our trip. We really loved it and can’t wait to return
It was perfect

Hotel for sure do need some renovation to be done, I guess it has been very good one but couple years ago. It’s acceptable for 4* , but not 5* hotel. Breakfast isn’t tasty and very short list of products on the line . Btw staff is very good trained and makes good impression. The view from the terrace is magnificent as well.

Nice Hotel in Nice
It’s a beautiful hotel, good location and helpful staff. Breakfast has good quality and variety and the facilities are ok. Generally was a nice hoteal to stay in Nice.
The rooms are a bit outdated. The toilet was a separate room with no sink. The extra bed we asked for was a small obe-person sofa-bed and its mattress was not suitable for a 5-star hotel.

The Hyatt Regency in Nice is truly a gem in every sense. Its phenomenal location, right at the edge of the famous Promenade des Anglais, makes it the perfect spot for soaking up the sun and enjoying the stunning Riviera views. The atmosphere is sunny, elegant, and thoroughly enjoyable – where you instantly feel at ease. The service is outstanding, with a team that goes above and beyond to ensure every guest feels special. The hotel is phenomenal, offering a classic charm that perfectly complements its iconic location. While it’s starting to show some age, I’m confident that Hyatt will rise to the occasion and renovate this incredible property to make it shine even brighter. It’s a true jewel, and with some polish, it will undoubtedly become even more spectacular. It was highly recommended for anyone visiting Nice!

We were greeted by the lovely Sara, she was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. We loved everything about the property. The beds were so comfortable, the sheets were soft, the towels were thick and soft. The list goes on and on.

Excellent location, staff and service excellent, mountain room view was smaller than we had hoped
Location is excellent being close to the beach, an easy walk from the centre of the city and well connected by pubic transport to the airport and the rest of the city. Hotel is very high quality, staff exceptional and quality of linen and cleaning service very high. Breakfast is exceptional
although it had a nice view of the city and mountain, and a small terrace with seats, the room was pretty average, and less than we had hoped for an expensive hotel
20 October 2024
great but pricey
wonderful property, staff, location, restaurant and facilities! we were only there one night, wish we hadn't been so zonked from 18 hrs of flying so we could have used the facilities! Hopefully next time!
expensive for a small room with a smoky terrace above an astroturf roof and other rooms and balconies, described as 'city view.' would prefer a smoke free floor. drinks service on outside terrace bar was very slow. and smoky, wish there had been a non-smoking section

Size of Room and poor view into internal courtyard. Most expensive drinks but worth it for incredible setting of courtyard and service.
25 September 2024
Extremely pleasant.
Location.
On the Friday evening there was a very, VERY loud disco occurring in a neighbouring casino that went on until 0200 and kept us awake. It is not the hotel’s fault but there was no “by the way” notice or communication that there was a risk of having disturbed sleep that night.

Nice hotel, however for the price it is not 5 star.
Often poor or slow service. Prices for food and drinks is very high

Expensive hotel in a great location. Do not book a Mountain View room.
The location is fantastic. You couldn’t get any better than being directly on the promenade. The hotel bar and restaurant is very welcoming and the food is good, the views over the promenade are beautiful.
The Mountain View was very very misleading. All the balconies with this view directly face the apartments opposite which are all in desperate need of renovations to the exteriors. I was so disappointed with this view and we never used the balcony for this reason, felt like an invasion of residents privacy and the view was not nice.
