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.”

Size of Room and poor view into internal courtyard. Most expensive drinks but worth it for incredible setting of courtyard and service.

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.

Concierge, staff in general, size of room, closeness to beach and boulevard
The decor of the rooms and hotel in general. Carpets, 50 shades of brown. Could be anyplace in the US. Seaview isn’t seaview but view of the arcade in front.

This was my first stay at a Hyatt, and I need to stay at Hyatts more!
Everything! We were so pleased with the professionalism, courtesy, and knowledge of everyone we met. We had housekeeping checking with us in the evening to make sure we had enough water and coffee supplies. The pool was clean and so enjoyable after a hot day.
Our room was a little short on space. That is my only complaint, and it is very minor obe.

A really nice stay
Its a lovely hotel with great staff, and a very nice breakfast.
The hotel restaurant was massively over-priced for very mediocre food in a very average environment.

Enjoyable stay in Nice with great Promenade des Anglais views and Massena access
Breakfast variety. Friendliness of staff. Rooms are spacious. Location, location, location. Quick room service turnaround.
Hotel didn't inform me upon booking that a major event was happening with roads blocked which delayed my airport pick up when I left. The hotel must provide an information card for international tourists on sites to explore in the area and share other tips

First class in every respect, staff very attentive and courteous.
The breakfast buffet staff were unorganized and often confused about who was doing what. Was there a way to not have our bedding and towels cleaned every day? If there isn’t, they should implement that as a Green option.

Very good hotel with unrealised potential
Location is great and staff were very welcoming and helpful. Very good breakfast. Room spacious, clean and very comfortable
Given the fabulous position of the hotel on the promenade des Anglais, we were disappointed at the lack of communal space for guests to view the Promenade. Neither the reception area nor breakfast area on the third floor had a good view.

Good quality for money, but with room for improvements
I liked almost everything. The quality of our stay was magnificent and it really shows this is a five-star establishment. And at this price (out-of-season, true) - this was really a bargain. Ca 800 EUR per 2 nights with breakfasts in Nice along the English Promenade is a steal! The staff was incredibly helpful and pleasant, the works of art inside the lobby and the interesting installation by the entrance always made our day whenever we strolled through the lobby.
Well, some of the personnel was new (or they claimed to be new), and some of them did not speak English (which is weird, since this is a 5-star hotel in a tourist city, where MOST guests speak English and not French. This posed some troubles for us in certain cases (especially during meals, where most personnel did not speak English at all...). Also, we did not like how breakfasts were organized - putting people making eggs and omelettes right behind the counter with hot dishes resulted in long queues of people waiting to just take their scrambled eggs from the counter, instead having to wait for 10 minutes of more because of all those people who did not want to use the countrers with hot dishes, but were rather waiting for the pleasant cooks to cook them personalized omelettes etc. Coffee was often out, we NEVER had larger plates (we had to ask for them, basically, every single time, because they ran out quickly and then for 10 minutes nobody would bring new ones). If this is how the restaurant works during out-of-season time, I am afraid this must be far worse during April-September season, when the hotel is full of guests (we stayed in February, it was probably 50% booked). This was by far the worst restaurant and breakfast experience that we have EVER had anywhere in the world. A 3* hotel does this better, so I assume that either they were severely understaffed during February or they should redesign their restaurant and optimize it A LOT. Just go to other hotels, see how it looks there and copy, please! Breakfasts themselves were tasty, to be honest, but we ALWAYS ate them cold (even the hot dishes, due to having to wait in long lines). Also, our credit card was double-charged for the whole stay - first, a reservation was made on my credit card, and then - when checking out - another charge was made. The difference was returned only after two weeks! This is not OK - charging EUR 1600 instead of 800 is not ok. Even if they do return it eventually.
