Le Meridien Nice

Occupying an iconic address at No. 1 Promenade des Anglais, Le Méridien Nice brings contemporary French Riviera glamour to the shores of the Mediterranean. The hotel’s 324 rooms, including 17 suites, embrace a reimagined 1960s aesthetic with sandy tones, wicker, raffia, leather and driftwood, while select accommodations open to balconies and sweeping views of the sea and Baie des Anges. The showpiece is the heated rooftop pool, a year-round retreat overlooking the Mediterranean, complemented by a 24-hour fitness facility. Dining makes equally impressive use of the setting: rooftop Elaïo celebrates Mediterranean cuisine inspired by the olive, seasonal produce and local specialties, all accompanied by panoramic sea views, while Latitude 43°4’ offers cocktails and casual bites in a relaxed setting. Breakfast at Le Riviera, designed to evoke a classic seaside villa, rounds out a stay that feels distinctly connected to the Côte d’Azur.
