Splendid Hôtel & Spa

Splendid Hôtel & Spa is a four-star hotel at 50 Boulevard Victor Hugo in Nice's Carré d'Or district, two blocks back from the Promenade des Anglais in the French Riviera's Alpes-Maritimes. The location is central and walkable: the seafront, the Jardin Albert I, Place Masséna and the pedestrian shopping streets are all within a short stroll, and the Nice-Ville railway station is a few minutes away on foot or by tram. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is approximately 6 kilometres to the west. The building is a classic early twentieth-century Riviera apartment-style hotel on one of the city's tree-lined boulevards, and its interiors combine traditional French hospitality with contemporary updates. Rooms are offered as Double, Superior and Junior Suite categories as well as full Suites, all with air conditioning and wifi. The signature amenity is the rooftop pool and terrace, which gives guests views over the rooftops and toward the sea, and the spa adds treatments and relaxation space that are useful on cooler or rainy days. A restaurant and a bar serve guests, and the hotel also has a fitness room, giving it a fuller wellness offer than most hotels in the district. Service is geared to leisure couples, business visitors and short-stay city travellers who want a pool and spa without paying for a beachfront address. Rates run roughly EUR 160-380 per night, generally below those of the seafront luxury hotels but above the district's three-star options, with peak pricing in summer and during Carnival and the Cannes festival. Because the hotel is set back from the promenade, street noise is usually lower than on the seafront, and the Boulevard Victor Hugo neighbourhood offers a wide choice of restaurants, bakeries and boutiques. Visitors can reach the old town and Cours Saleya in around fifteen minutes on foot, and the Musée Masséna and Negresco are also close.
