Nice is one of the most popular destinations on the Côte d'Azur: easy to get to, easily explored on foot, easy to book restaurant tables, relatively easy to get a nice spot on the beach, and it’s friendly too! Nice also has a wonderful range of accommodation, with many different styles and sizes, as well as room rates. What we’ve noticed is that Nice is also an excellent city for boutique hotels. It’s not just that this city has been a famous seaside resort since the 18th century, and has a wonderful old town filled with elegant townhouses — ideal for converting into boutique hotels — it’s also reflected in the age of many of Nice’s hotels — there are some wonderfully luxurious old grand dames here that are almost boutique by default: think bijou size, individual decoration, and generous, traditional service standards. Nice has boutique style B&Bs and guesthouses too, as well as sea view charmers, and even some boutique hotels with family suites and apartments. Browse our pick of the best and start planning your getaway!
