Hôtel Negresco

This palace hotel stands directly on the Promenade des Anglais (37 Promenade des Anglais), facing the Baie des Anges.

The Negresco is the luxurious Belle Époque icon of Nice, crowned by its pink dome. Its Salon Royal with a vast Baccarat chandelier and an art collection spanning the 17th century to modern times make it a living museum; even non-guests can take in the bar or the Michelin-starred restaurant Le Chantecler.

The hotel was built by Henri Negresco and opened on 8 January 1913, with the architect Édouard Niermans involved in its design. In 1957 it passed to the Augier family, and Madame Jeanne Augier shaped it with her celebrated art collection; in 2003 it was listed as a national historic monument.
