Hôtel Locarno Nice

The rooms at Hôtel Locarno Nice come in four categories: Classic Double Room, Triple Room, Superior Double Room and Deluxe Double Room. All have air conditioning, a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV and soundproofed windows. They range in size from 14 to 21 m². The Triple Room is the largest and is set up for three people; each of the three double rooms is intended for two guests.

The minibar distinguishes the Triple, Superior and Deluxe categories from the Classic. The Deluxe Room has both a bath and a shower, while the other rooms have either a shower or a bath. Bedding varies by category: a large double bed in the Classic and Superior rooms, and three single beds in the Triple Room. The Deluxe offers a large double bed or two single beds. Some rooms also have a private balcony. A desk, safe and hairdryer are among the amenities in the rooms.

The 24-hour reception makes it easy to arrive at different times of day. Luggage storage and the concierge service can help you organise visits or look after your belongings. Staff provide daily housekeeping; an ironing service and dry cleaning are also available. The hotel has a sun terrace and a shared lounge with a TV.

Guests have access to free Wi-Fi in the rooms, a lift and facilities for guests with disabilities. There is a café on site, and the offering includes wine or champagne as well as a teapot or coffee machine. Breakfast is one of the hotel’s services. Vending machines offer snacks and drinks, and there is also a designated smoking area. Pets are welcome at no extra charge, and pet bowls are available. A tour desk and express check-in and check-out complete the facilities.

Nice stretches along the seafront between the Mediterranean and the hills, with the Promenade des Anglais as a major pedestrian and cycle route along the bay. The hotel is in the Baumettes neighbourhood, west of the centre, among residential buildings and avenues leading down to the sea. The pebble beaches, museums and gardens in the area offer a range of outings without leaving the city; continue east to explore the colourful lanes of Vieux-Nice.

The Promenade des Anglais is 80 m away, and several beaches line the nearby coast. The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nice, housed in a 19th-century villa, is 200 m away. The Musée Masséna traces the history of the Riviera in a Belle Époque residence, 590 m away. Nice-Ville, the main railway station, is 1.4 km away; Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 3 km away. For a day of sightseeing, you can use the tram and get around on foot to reach the central neighbourhoods, squares and museums without relying on a car.

Spring and autumn are pleasant seasons for exploring the neighbourhoods on foot and enjoying the seafront, often with fewer visitors than in high summer. In summer, swimming and long evening walks set the pace, while the heat makes it worth planning museum visits for the hottest part of the day. You could start the day with a walk along the coast, continue through Vieux-Nice around Cours Saleya, then finish on Castle Hill, with views across the bay and the city rooftops.
