Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée

Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée puts on a strong showing along the Promenade des Anglais. With its Art Deco frontage and sea-view terrace, the hotel makes room for poolside lounging, cocktails among the columns and quiet luxuries behind the scenes. Rooms range from mountain-facing to full Mediterranean panorama, and the courtyard pool is as much a spectacle as a place to swim. History hasn’t gone anywhere — it’s just been given a very good upgrade.
