Hôtel Westminster

Hôtel Westminster is a four-star, family-run Belle Époque hotel at 27 Promenade des Anglais, on the central stretch of Nice's seafront in the French Riviera. The location places guests a short walk from the Jardin Albert I, the Place Masséna and the Carré d'Or shopping streets, with the old town and Cours Saleya market within walking distance to the east and the Musée Masséna and Negresco hotel close by along the promenade. The tram and the main railway station are reachable in a few minutes, and Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is about 6 kilometres west. The building belongs to the generation of grand seafront hotels constructed when Nice became a winter resort for European aristocracy, and the period interiors retain that character with ornate public rooms and a traditional atmosphere rather than a minimalist design. Room categories include Double rooms, Sea View rooms, Junior Suites and Suites, all with air conditioning and wifi, and the sea-facing rooms look directly over the Baie des Anges. A restaurant and a bar serve guests, with breakfast a regular feature of the stay. Being family-run, the hotel is often described as having a more personal service style than the large chain properties nearby, suited to couples and travellers who value atmosphere and a prime promenade address over resort-style facilities such as a pool or spa. Rates run roughly EUR 180-450 per night, with the highest prices in summer and around the Carnival and major events. Because the promenade carries heavy traffic and pedestrians, guests who are light sleepers may prefer rooms on higher floors or those facing the side streets. The hotel is a practical base for walking to museums, the Colline du Château and the beach, and for day trips by train to Monaco, Menton, Antibes and Cannes from Nice-Ville station.
