Mercure Nice Promenade des Anglais

Mercure Nice Promenade des Anglais is a four-star chain hotel at 2 Rue Meyerbeer in Nice, one street back from the seafront in the Carré d'Or district of France's Alpes-Maritimes. The address places guests within a couple of minutes of the Promenade des Anglais and the public beaches, and within walking distance of Place Masséna, the Jardin Albert I, the pedestrian shopping streets and the old town. The tram and the main railway station, Nice-Ville, are reachable on foot or by a short ride, and Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is about 6 kilometres to the west. The hotel belongs to the Mercure brand, which provides dependable mid-range comfort in a regional style rather than a historic or boutique character, and it occupies a typical street of the Belle Époque quarter built when Nice grew as a winter resort. Room categories include Standard, Superior and Family rooms, all with air conditioning and wifi, and the family rooms suit parents travelling with children. A restaurant and a bar serve guests, and breakfast is generally offered as a buffet. There is no pool or spa, so most guests use the public beach on the promenade, which is a very short walk, or the beach clubs along the Quai des États-Unis. Service is aimed at leisure couples, families and business travellers who want a central and practical address, and the reception can help organise visits to the Matisse and Chagall museums, the hilltop villages of Èze and Saint-Paul-de-Vence, and day trips to Monaco, Cannes and Antibes. Rates are moderate for a four-star in central Nice, roughly EUR 120-270 per night, rising in July, August and during Carnival and major events. The neighbourhood offers many restaurants, cafés and bakeries, and the sea is close enough that guests can walk back to the hotel in a few minutes after an evening stroll along the promenade.
