Le Negresco: The Iconic Palace of the Promenade des Anglais

Le Negresco is the most iconic hotel on the French Riviera, a belle-époque palace opened in 1913 on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, its pink dome, designed with help from Gustave Eiffel, an unmistakable part of the seafront skyline. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, it is also a private museum, its walls hung with five centuries of art from Old Masters to Niki de Saint Phalle.

The dining honours the setting. Le Chantecler holds a Michelin star, revisiting great gastronomy with lightness in a sumptuous 18th-century salon under chef Virginie Basselot; and La Rotonde is a beloved, carousel-themed brasserie on the Promenade, its generous cuisine a declaration of love to the Riviera.

For an iconic, gastronomic Nice stay, Le Negresco is a benchmark.
