Accommodation Options in Nice

Apartment rentals become more popular by the year thanks to user-friendly owner-direct websites. Go for broke with a sea front penthouse, stay in the busy & chaotic old town or try Cimiez for a quieter experience where you can enjoy marvellous architecture and sea views.

There are several very good bed and breakfast establishments within the centre of Nice. You will need to book well in advance as some of these rooms are very popular. Guest houses are also dotted around the surrounding countryside near the centres of St Paul de Vence and Cagnes sur Mer.

Villa rentals can be found in the outskirts of Nice and on the hillsides of Mont Boron and over towards Villefranche sur Mer and the exclusive area of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat.

Nice has it's own share of glamorous Grand Dame hotels to choose from. The iconic Negresco Hotel, with it's pink domes is one of the most famous, but others that are housed in Belle Epoque buildings include the Boscolo Exedra and the Palais de la Mediterranee (operated by Hyatt Regency). La Perouse Hotel is situated at the eastern end of the Promenade des Anglais and probably has the best views of them all.

There are a handful of boutique hotels in Nice, all centrally placed and all offering a high standard of accommodation. There are even more boutique hotels within driving distance of Nice, in Eze, Vence and St Paul de Vence.

Nice is great for the budget traveller - you can stay in some really lovely places all within the town centre for around 100 Euros per night. The large selection means prices are kept competitive, and if you are out all day at the beach, or sightseeing, then these are the perfect hotels for you.
