Nice- tastes of the Mediterranean hospitality

By: Laurent Fabier | Posted: 30th March 2007

A trip to Nice would take you to the beautiful capital of the Cote d'Azur, notorious as the center of the French Riviera. One of the top tourist destinations in France, Nice is a year-round holiday destination for the entire family with thousands of worldwide visitors threading its cobbled streets. As the city is overbooked all year long, you have to make sure you find a place to stay in advance, and the handiest solution is online booking.

A place you can rejoice all year long
Nice has a mild and pleasant climate with spring being the most favorable time to visit the city. On tours to Nice, you can visit the famous Promenade des Anglais, a five miles long seaside walkway lined with shingle beaches, palm trees and impressive buildings with lovely art-deco façades.
One of the particularities of the accommodation industry in this exclusive city is the availability at all rates, which means that you will be able to find a hotel at incredibly cheap prices. There is a plethora of offers for prices as low as 40 € per night.

A full range of cheap offers and corporate solutions
If you are on a discount travel and looking for cozy and clean accommodation, this is the place to be. One of the most attractive places is Hotel Trocadero, an establishment in the very heart of old Nice, overlooking the beach. Discount hotel rates go as low as 45 € for a single room and apart from comfort, you will be also guided by hotel staff for trip organizing and city tour. Amaryllis Hotel is another heaven for discount travel solutions or for cheap corporate travel. Located in a lively quarter of Nice, with easy access to many trendy restaurants, theaters, cinemas, and boutiques, close to public transport, the location offers charming and comfortable rooms. You can enjoy the view to the city while you have breakfast in your room or you can choose to socialize in the enchanting Cours Saleya breakfast room. For corporate travelers, there are always affordable car rental and office solutions. Other cheap solutions include Hotel du Centre, situated in the city center, close to big shoppings areas, cinemas, theatres and museums. If you happen to be there during the Carnival in February, all you have to do is go on the terrace, as the view to the carnival promenade is outstanding.
There are plenty of opportunities should you choose to come here with your family, or on a corporate visit. Luxury and comfort go hand in hand with hotels such as Vendome, a charming mansion with beautiful glass roof situated in one of the quietest areas with a family-like atmosphere. Apart from cost effective rates for double and single rooms, the hotel offers special rates during city events such as the Nice Carnival or the Monaco Grand Prix. If style and low costs are what you are looking for, you should choose the wonderful Hotel Choiseul. This is a charming property set in a gorgeous Belle Epoque building, just a few steps from the train station, the main shopping areas, the Casino, and the beach.


Nice- a heaven of luxury for the experienced traveler
One of the top hotels and the most sought for, the four star Nice Riviera is an ideal establishment for corporate travelers but also for luxury seekers. One of the highlights of this special place is the fact that this is the only Nice location providing a heated indoor swimming pool and a sauna and Jacuzzi service available 24 hours.
Also in the very heart of Nice is the four star venue Hotel Le Grimaldi, located just a few minutes walk from the Flower Market and the old town as well as the Promenade des Anglais and numerous beaches. A particular mention is for the furnishing of each and individual room inside the hotels with charming and brightly colored Provencal fabrics according to a well thought over scheme for each floor.

Historical locations go hand in hand with comfort
And if you can afford to live in an heritage building and enjoy the vintage style and ultimate comfort and lavishness, you should definitely try at least once in your life the overwhelming Hotel Negresco. Built in 1912, overlooking the famous Bay of Angels, and classified a National Historic Monument in 1974, this is one of the few remaining privately owned palaces still existing in the world, a unique living museum that shares its passion for art with the clients. Throughout the hotel, epic periods in the history of France are represented, from the renaissance to the 3rd millennium.

Nice is an ideal tourist destination throughout the year, and this is not only for the multitude of city events, but for the convenient location at the junction along the Cote d'Azur. So, book well in advance a room and enjoy easy access to major tourist destinations of the region, including Monaco, St Tropez and Cannes.
