Rooms & rate
What you're paying for
Rooms and suites range from classic to lavishly decorated period styles, many with sea views over the Promenade. The character is heritage-grand rather than minimalist; sea-facing rooms are the ones to request, and the upper suites are a notable step up in space and view.
Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
A genuine Belle Époque icon directly on the Promenade des Anglais, with interiors and an art collection that are an attraction in themselves.
Not independently verified — estimated
The famously maximalist, antique-filled style is not for everyone — those wanting sleek, contemporary minimalism should look elsewhere.
