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're traveling as a couple.
Short answer
Is Le Méridien Nice worth it?
Le Méridien Nice deserves a place on most first itineraries.
The answer depends on your budget, time and travel style; the breakdown below shows who gets the most value.
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.
- 02
The rooms below are functional and a touch corporate; you're buying the position and that roof, not design.
