"In the heart of the lights and pomp of the Bay of Angels, a star-palace: the Negresco" (Salvador Dali). Built in 1912, overlooking the famous Bay of Angels right on the famous Promenade des Anglais and classified a National Historic Monument in 1974, the Hotel Negresco is one of the few remaining privately owned exclusive palaces still existing in the world. Jeanne Augier, owner and chairman, has created a unique living museum. Her desire is to share her passion for art with her clients. Throughout the hotel, epic periods in the history of France are represented, from the renaissance to the 3rd Millenium. The hotel is proud to have one of the best restaurants in France and the best in Nice. Sumptuous XVIII century wood panels surround this exquisite Regency style restaurant where Alain Llorca's refined, inventive cuisine will enchant you. The second restaurant is Alain Llorca's "Bistrot", a colourful merry-go-round setting making it one of the most original in the world. The hotel has palatial public rooms, rare tapestries, rich carpeting and masterpieces of art grace this chateau-style hotel. There has never been a question as to its legendary Victorian elegance: overlooking the blue Mediterranean on the Promenade des Anglais, the Negresco is palatial in its every detail. The airy interior, flowered terraces and spacious bedrooms are exquisite. There is a full range of conference facilities and the overall service is impeccable. There is a private beach for guests and golf & tennis are available nearby.
