Le Petit Palais

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.

We have just returned from a fabulous 5 days at the Hotel Petit Palais. We stayed in a Panorama Privilege room and the view was amazing. The beds are really comfortable, and the air conditioning was excellent. Breakfast was wonderful and Anne was always joyful in the Breakfast Room. It was an exceptional spell of hot weather, so I have to admit I found the hill a little bit of a trial, but it was definitely worth it for the view. The staff were all wonderful, so friendly and helpful and, we know she will hate this, but we really want to specially thank Denada at Reception for being so kind. Nothing was too much trouble for her. We would highly recommend this hotel. Bill and Margo from Scotland
