Expert reviews
“For more than a century, the Negresco has been Nice’s most iconic hotel. Its flamingo-pink dome crowns the promenade des Anglais, its Belle Epoque facade turned towards the sea. Guestrooms—a mix of Louis XIV antiques and state-of-the-art bathrooms—have hosted each era’s most noted celebrities, from the Beatles and Salvador Dalí to Michael Jackson.”
“This white-stucco slice of old-fashioned Riviera extravagance accommodates well-heeled guests in elegant, uniquely decorated (and sometimes quirky) rooms replete with swagged drapes and fine antiques (plus a few unfortunate “with it” touches like those plastic-glitter bathtubs).”
“Topped by a flamboyant pink dome that was allegedly inspired by the architect’s mistress, Hôtel Negresco is the most-recognised landmark along the Niçoise seafront. Although the Belle Époque hotel is a National Historic Building, a century of entertaining royalty to rock stars has left this grande dame looking tired.”

All you need to know
Situated in the vibrant Le Carré d’Or neighborhood of Nice, the Le Negresco hotel boasts an enviable location just a stone’s throw away from the renowned Promenade des Anglais and the beach. This distinguished hotel stands out prominently along the French Riviera, thanks to its charming pink domed roof and sophisticated exterior.
Hotel Le Negresco is an esteemed establishment in Nice, evident from the moment guests step inside. The hotel exudes grandeur, with its marble floors, glass ceilings adorned with domes, antique furnishings, and an aura of luxury and allure. The dining areas and lounge exude elegance, featuring period artworks that grace the walls and plush upholstered seating.
The guest rooms seamlessly continue the opulent theme of the hotel, with their lavish interiors boasting rich fabrics and top-notch linens. Guests can revel in breathtaking views of the beachfront and unwind in rooms that pay homage to the rich history of the building.
At Hotel Le Negresco, the guest rooms are far from monotonous. From interiors inspired by Louis XIII to modern and contemporary decor, each room offers a unique and captivating experience.
The hotel’s dining rooms maintain the same level of luxury as the rest of the establishment. Guests have the option to dine at either the Michelin-starred restaurant, Le Chantecler, or the more relaxed yet equally impressive La Rotonde restaurant.
Every morning, guests are treated to a delightful breakfast buffet, providing an excellent start to their day in Nice. They can enjoy their meal while overlooking the beautiful Promenade des Anglais before making their way to the hotel’s private beach club, where they can also dine at the open-air restaurant.
For those seeking a taste of the timeless glamour that the French Riviera is renowned for, Hotel Le Negresco is the perfect choice.

We had a short stay in Nice and couldn’t have picked a better place to stay!
Loved the beautiful decor and they have a nice bar/lounge with delicious drinks and a great view. Seems like exactly what I would expect from Nice! The staff was super helpful and friendly too.

Nice place to visit, but probably better to book a suite rather then superior room
Good interiors, great facilities, perfect staff. Special thank to the hotel manager ;)
The dinner was underwhelming — a 4/10, especially given its price. Additionally, the room was overly bright at night due to the ineffective curtains and a temperature control unit that couldn’t be turned off. Even when set to 19°C, it remained uncomfortably warm.

- great location - comfy bed, spacious room, unique decor, roller shutters - excellent service - live music in the bar on Sat, that was super cool
- unstable wifi - breakfast was good quality but not exceptional - there was no good sound isolation in the room and I could hear everything (other rooms, corridors and music from the bar)

Very good
very friendly and attentive staff, always willing to help art atmosphere with a lot of paintings good variety of drinks and food pretty view to the sea and garden if you arrive with car, it will be parked and cared well, very comfortable
rooms need renovation chipped furniture and painting you cant be sure what exactly room you will get, as they have them in very different style and most of them are not reflected on photos contemporary art object are interesting, but they distract from the overall classical style not a lot of bathroom vanities, expected to see tooth brush at least shampoo and shower gel are glued to the high wall and if youre taking bath, its not comfortable to get up every time you need the shampoo, etc hotel is currently in facade renovation mode and sounds of work are pretty loud

Perfect property - location - and accommodation
This hotel is perfection, from greeting as the taxi pulled up outside, to Aziz checking us in, the room was magnificent as was dinner in the restaurant and breakfast in the morning. I will definitely return. I can not recommend this property highly enough.

Lovely stay in a lovely, charming, classic hotel!!

Great as always
Negresco is a great hotel overall. Very nice staff, extremely comfortable and clean rooms. Worth the money.
The coffee is surprisingly meh for being such a high end hotel. Definitely not worth the 10 plus euros. If they fixed the coffee the breakfast would be 10/10.

The spirit and exquisite taste of Madame Augier and her team. Frankly everything:)
No, there is nothing to complain about, but it would be nice to see a museum/gallery that could represent some historical moments of this wonderful place, especially all of those marvellous people who have kept this place unique over the decades.

Very good
Loved the general look and feel of the hotel. The 'art' was amazing, breakfasts on the patio were enjoyable. Access to the sun beds and umbrellas on the beach.
The room we were assigned to at check in was very disappointing. There were no power points in the bathroom - I couldnt dry my hair!!! My husband couldn't plug in his shaver. The power points in the bedroom were so close to the ground we couldn't charge our devices, our plugs couldnt fit the power points. I went down to reception to discuss this and was offered an extension cord - I couldnt believe it .. we were paying $2000 AUD per night - so very disappointing. The receptionist then found as a room with power in the bathroom and USB ports to charge our phones.

Unfortunately if you stay at the hotel it’s still not possible to visit the restaurant Le Chantecler as it’s fully booked 😢
