Hôtel West End

Hôtel West End is a four-star property at 31 Promenade des Anglais in Nice, set on the central seafront close to the Jardin Albert I and the Negresco in France's Alpes-Maritimes. The address gives guests quick access on foot to Place Masséna, the Carré d'Or shopping district, the tramway and the old town, while the beach and the promenade's blue chairs are directly across the road. Nice-Ville railway station can be reached by tram or taxi in a few minutes, and Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is roughly 6 kilometres to the west. The hotel belongs to the group of historic promenade establishments that date from the city's era as a winter resort, and it is known for a garden setting that is unusual on this busy stretch of the seafront. Rooms are offered as Double rooms, Sea View rooms and Junior Suites, all with air conditioning and wifi. The outdoor facilities include a pool and a garden, which give guests a quieter retreat from the promenade traffic and a place to relax after sightseeing, particularly in the warmer months. A restaurant and a bar serve breakfast and other meals, and the hotel's atmosphere is traditional and relaxed rather than ultra-modern. Service is suited to leisure couples and families, as well as visitors on short city stays who want a promenade address with a pool. Rates sit in the upper mid-range, roughly EUR 170-420 per night depending on room type and season, with the highest demand in summer, around Carnival and during the Cannes film festival period. Sea View rooms command a premium, while rooms facing the garden or side streets are generally quieter. From the hotel, guests can walk to the Musée Masséna, the Cours Saleya market and the Colline du Château, and use the train for day trips to Monaco, Menton, Antibes and Cannes. The combination of garden, pool and central location is the main reason the hotel appeals to repeat visitors.
