Hotel Le Petit Palais

I stayed 4 nights at Hotel Petit Palais in Nice, and it was a very pleasant experience. The entire staff at the hotel was extremely welcoming; from the lobby personnel and the breakfast staff to the housekeeping team. It was easy to tell that everyone genuinely cared about ensuring a good experience. Besides from this, the room was very nice and clean. The hotel was in very well maintained and the pool area was great. I didn't order my stay with breakfast, but ended up buying it and it was of very good quality. During my stay in Nice, I unfortunately sprained my ankle and the hotel staff was super helpful the last days (even without asking; big thank you for that). It will definitely not be my last stay in Nice and Hotel Petit Palais would be the first option I would look up next time.

In a nutshell, I am lucky to have discovered this hotel after browsing through many hotels in Nice to stay at during the F1 weekend. First of all, the location was stellar. Located in an upscale, quiet neighbourhood, this was a welcome contrast to the bustling touristy areas at the Promenade. The place itself is a beautiful belle epoque old home converted to a hotel. The rooms are spic and span. Not a grain of dirt anywhere. The view from the room is also beautiful- Of most of the city, and of course, overlooking the sea as well (while the occasional aircraft takes off). The staff was most courteous. Unfortunately I cannot remembers names well, but the lady at the reception, and the two other gentlemen were extremely kind and took my around the hotel, and also helped me get my way around Nice with a few suggestions etc. One of the gentlemen was kind enough to prepare scrambled eggs along with cheese for me after I got back from the F1 race in Monaco, as I had nowhere to eat, and the hotel serves only breakfast. So hats off to that. Breakfast was amazing. The scrambled eggs, pain au chocolat, the juices etc., were fresh and hearty. If I ever visit Nice again, I will definitely stay here again. Cheers.

This was such a delightful experience. The hotel is in a quiet area with walkable restaurants and walkable to Chagall museum. The basics were above average ( room, food etc) and the service was five star. We were there F1 weekend. I was surprised to get a call from the concierge a week or so before our trip to help with logistics. Kevin set up all our transportation and our grown children who were not staying with us. He continued to check in throughout our trip. It was a wonderful start to our vacation.
