Nice stretches between the Mediterranean and the hills, with a city centre where shopping avenues meet historic squares and the colourful façades of Vieux-Nice. The area around the hotel makes it possible to walk from lively streets to gardens and quays in a few minutes. This part of the city suits travellers who want to explore its heritage, reach the seafront and get around without relying on a car all the time.

Place Masséna opens onto Promenade du Paillon, a long urban garden leading towards Vieux-Nice and the sea. The narrow streets of the old quarter lead to Sainte-Réparate Cathedral and Palais Lascaris, while the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art displays 20th-century art collections. Castle Hill offers views over the bay and the rooftops of the old town. The nearest beaches are about 700 m away; Nice-Ville railway station is 800 m away and offers connections to other towns on the French Riviera. Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 4.6 km away.

Nice is worth exploring all year round: the mild days of spring and autumn are suited to walks around the neighbourhoods and along the coast, while summer invites you to alternate swimming with morning visits. For a varied day, start in the narrow streets of Vieux-Nice, continue to the collections at MAMAC and finish by the seafront at sunset. The tram and railway lines make it easy to get around the city and take trips to nearby towns. Markets and gardens also offer pleasant breaks between visits.
