Le Palais de La Mediterranee: The Ultimate Riviera Experience in Nice

Since the time of the ancient Romans, the Cote d'Azur has lured visitors for its eternal sunshine on the shores of the Mediterranean. In this sought-after setting-- the gateway to the French Alps and the Riviera-- the Palais de La Mediterranee is perched on prime real estate in Nice: the Promenade des Anglais overlooking the sparkling Baie des Anges. A prominent landmark, the hotel is famous for its gourmet restaurant and white Art Deco façade dating from the 1930s. But that's not all. The legendary hotel sports an innovative indoor/outdoor pool decked out in mosaic tiles. There is no better place to lounge in the sun and soak up the sea views.

A tribute to the grandeur of a bygone era, Le Palais de La Mediterranee has 188 guest rooms with contemporary furnishings custom-designed for the hotel, chosen by Sybille de Margerie of SM design (who also did the Hotel de Crillon Paris and La Palme d'Or Cannes). La crème de la crème? The 12 suites on the top six floors of the hotel, boasting Med-facing balconies, private bars, bath amenities by Annick Goutal, and enormous walk-in closets.
