Le Negresco

Exceptional building on French Riviera, aristocratic, full of charm and history. Built by Romanian hotelier Henri Alexandru Negrescu in the neorenaissance style, the hotel Le Negresco is still a symbol of Nice, having seen in its existence of more than 100 years the most illustrious figures of the planet: Queen Elizabeth II, King Ibn Saoud, Shah of Iran, Salvador Dali, Grace Kelly and the list can go on and on. A part of )the hotel is under major renovation now, and, unfortunately, even the newly renovated bits are superficially finished, walls on the hallways having here and there cracks under the fresh paint. Same unfinished work on the doors architraves. Walking around you cand see a mixture of art objects, from XIXth century to recent days, so everyone could find something to like. Breakfast is not to die for, but the staff is very polite and ready to help. If you want a spectacular morning, try to get a room with sea view, you’ll get a good start of the day. But keep in mind that you need very deep pockets if you want to stay at Le Negresco.

Spent Christmas at the Negresco. Fantastic experience Hotel is unique, food is superb, staff are extremely helpful. A "fairy tale"

The Food and Service. Were really outstanding and were better than expected. Specially on a Christmas Eve. My wife and myself were really enjoying the whole meal.

A fantastic experience we were treated like royalty,nothing was too much for the staff. They were professional, helpful.and did everything to make our stay special. The art and decor in the rooms is unique and quirky. We have stayed there 10 times and will return next year.

This may well be the best hotel that I have ever stayed in. It managed to combine the amenities of a large luxury hotel with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff that one tends to find only in smaller establishments. The location is spot on, right on the Promenade des Anglais. The room was large and very comfortable, and the hotel's pricing policy is that everything is included, no nasty hidden extras. Although not cheap, I considered it good value (I stayed in December). The artwork is really interesting and adds to the atmosphere.
