The Negresco

spend an amazing weekend with my teenage kids. Nice is beautiful but Nice at Le Negresco makes an outstanding difference. The hotel is full of history and stories (happy & sad) the staff is caring and you feel personalities working there not just employees.

For our Christmas holidays this year, we took a trip to France and stayed in a variety of hotels, 7 in total. As we moved from hotel to hotel, there were certain things we focused on the most so I decided to rate them at each hotel. For the Hotel Le Negresco: Bathroom (weather had a shower) – We had a huge bathroom. The one odd things was one switch turned on all the lights in the bathroom, even the toilet area, so you cannot leave just one light on in the bathroom at night. And the shower was so small which was odd because the bathroom footprint was so large. Lobby – Absolutely stunning. Between the amazing collection of art and the huge ballroom-like sitting area, it wins the lobby award hands down. Location in the city or town – Great location right on the water. Size of room – Big, we had a lot of room. Breakfast – We didn't eat at the hotel Elevator (was there one?) – Yes a very nice-sized one with historical features. Ambiance - The lobby ambiance is outstanding. Our room looked a bit like it belonged at Versailles which is a bit dated and not our style. But all of the art is so cool to see and the facade of the building is very art deco. Lighting - Lighting for the room was good. Overall, we loved this hotel. The rooms are very, very ornate. There was a lot of construction going on in the hotel so constant drilling and pounding during the day.

The best place to stay in Nice. From arrival to departure everything was perfect. The hotel was beautifully decorated for the festive season providing a wonderful ambience. The service from all staff was exceptional and everyone was most helpful and attentive. I had a beautiful room which was immaculate
