Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Boscolo Nice
12 bd. Victor Hugo, Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 06000, France
A top-notch restoration completed in 2023 has transformed this Belle Époque extravaganza into a supermodel of a hotel, where the lobby feels otherworldly (think the white-on-white, Rococo-ed rooms at the end of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey), and the white-and-cream guest rooms have things like cascading, diamondlike ceiling lights, sculpted rose door handles, and the very latest in push-button luxury. The hotel's Italian restaurant can be hit and miss, but it has a great terrace, and the basement contains one of the most striking spas around (there are even plasma TVs in the saunas, though you don't get to pick the channel).
PROS
- striking spa
- near shops and restaurants
- five blocks from the beach, but who cares when you have the rooftop Bclub?
CONS
- service can be hit and miss
- skip the hotel's €65 airport taxi and book direct for €32 flat rate
- €39 breakfast (but lots of cafés close by)
