Le Méridien Nice
A large seafront hotel at the eastern end of the Promenade des Anglais, near the old town, with a rooftop pool and bar.
The call
Worth it if you only have one day and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
A dependable big-format four-star whose real asset is the 10th-floor rooftop — La Terrasse bar, the Elaïo restaurant and a heated pool with one of the highest, widest Baie des Anges views on the Promenade.
Our read - 02
