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.”

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 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.

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.

We will definitely come back!
The hotel itself is a gorgeous museum. Staff are helpful and friendly. What’s a bonus is that my 2+years old enjoyed the car rides in the lobby everyday!
Everything is perfect!

My stay was simply perfect. the style of the furnitures, the elevator the artworks in the floors ...
I was more interested by the beauty of the view that I did not go to have breakfast. I loved humble people and services, only that I did not go to eat in the other restaurant where they oblige people to wear suits!!
To access in all restaurant without obligation to wear suits.

A lovely return visit to our favourite Cote D'Azure hotel.
We particularly liked Phobe, the breakfast hostess in The Rotonde. She was very friendly and efficient and attentive to us and the other guests. The Bar manager and his staff were also very good. We also appreciated the free room upgrade we were given as frequent guests at the hotel.
Nothing except for one rainy day

We would come back every time we are in Nice! Such a wonderful stay!
The property was beautiful and special. I felt very well taken care of…from our room to our car. So clean and wonderful pieces of art. We felt wonderful there with no worries.
There isn’t much we didn’t like. However, we were recommended two different restaurant that were a disappointment. Both were in Old Town; one was Le Safari and Camela’s. Both left us hungry after our meal. We did enjoy Di Pui more than any other meal in the area.

Our bathroom needed to be updated.

Best choice in Nice
We stayed her last year and loved it. Great location, friendly helpful staff, gorgeous room and the hotel is full of museum quality art and antiques. And we were upgraded to a suite!
It is a bit expensive. We may try coming in off season next time.

A superb experience in this beautiful city
Phenomenal- from the staff to the rooms to the location. Faultless. Impeccable. We will not hesitate to return and the hotel most certainly deserves its reputation as a leading hotel of the world
Everything was amazing

Lovely but the hotel brasserie was very disappointing
Everything other than the below comments.
The hotel brasserie and the waiter there. We ate there on Friday 22 Sept. The food was not of a standard commensurate with the hotel and neither was the service.

Incredible experience. Amazing hotel, very special building and location. The staff were all excellent, extremely professional, great facilities and good food. Well placed for looking around town. Would stay here again in a heartbeat, v special.
There really is nothing not to like, so many places should take a leaf out of the book for this hotel.

We enjoyed the property.

Superb 5 night stay at an iconic hotel
booked to stay during the RWC. great location as easy walk to Tram, Old Town & Centre Ville. staff are exceptional with a warm welcome. Our room had recently been renovated and was beautiful. the original cupboards have been preserved and the room featured a balcony with table and chairs. we ate in the brassiere restaurant for a dinner and a breakfast. the food and beverage offering is a little underwhelming. the bar area is nice. we did not use the Plage beach club. The standout team are the valet parking team who parked our car and organised our bags. NB you have to access the hotel via Rue du Rivoli if you want your car parked
The hotel does not currently have a pool or spa area. on occasions you can hear building work during the day.

In general, the impressions are positive.
Great room with a charming view, cleaning service 10/10.
The last day of rest disappointed us, We agreed that we would check out at 13:00, our apartment card did not work, so we had to contact the administration 3 times, who could not solve anything and were rude, as if it was our fault, this does not correspond to such a service.
