Guests seeking peace will love this residential area of Nice, in walking distance to the Promenade des Anglais.
On France’s southern coast, Nice sits like a finely detailed tiara against the lapping surf. Popular with aristocracy since the late 1800s, Nice is beset with a wide array of well-preserved Belle Epoque structures. On passing glance, the Boscolo Exedra Nice may seem to be just another beauty in the pageant – but that would be a mistake. A big one.
By way of extensive renovations and restorations, the hotel has regained its modern relevance through a minimalist theme. 113 rooms are dressed all in white, recalling some Kubrick film you may have once glimpsed in a theatre. Welcome splashes of color glow in the spaces, like gold-tiled showers and floral antique chairs.
The spa is a modernist daydream, with curving walls, and large, organic-shaped fountains sprouting from the walls and pools.
Although it’s just a 10-minute wander to the shore, you may want to stick around the hotel for meals. Restaurant La Pescheria offers barely-out-of-the-ocean seafood, fresh pastas, and carefully chosen wines.
