Anantara Plaza Nice transforms a historic 1848 Belle Époque palace into the French Riviera's most prestigious address, where 151 contemporary rooms and suites overlook the Mediterranean from Jardin Albert 1er. SEEN by Olivier's rooftop dining and panoramic Alpine-to-sea vistas define this architectural masterpiece steps from the Promenade des Anglais.
Where Belle Époque grandeur meets contemporary sophistication, Anantara Plaza Nice commands the French Riviera's most coveted address, overlooking Jardin Albert 1er with panoramic vistas stretching from the Mediterranean's azure waters to the snow-capped Alps. This architectural masterpiece, originally designed by Jean-Antoine Scoffier in 1848, has welcomed artists, politicians, and cultural luminaries for over a century.
Following a meticulous four-year renovation by Nice architects Jean-Paul Gomis and London's acclaimed David Collins Studio, the former Plaza de Nice reopened in December 2022 under Minor Hotels' prestigious Anantara brand. The restoration preserves the hotel's historic Belle Époque façade while introducing contemporary refinement throughout its elegant interiors. This luxury hotel has earned recognition as one of Nice's most beautiful palaces, seamlessly blending 19th-century heritage with modern sophistication.
Anantara Plaza Nice offers 151 meticulously redesigned rooms and suites, each showcasing contemporary elegance with refined Mediterranean touches. Upper-floor accommodations feature private terraces with sweeping views of the historic old town's ochre rooftops and the glittering Mediterranean beyond. Expansive suites include separate living areas, while select rooms offer garden vistas and intimate balconies. Every accommodation emphasizes comfort and luxury, creating warm, inviting sanctuaries that reflect the property's Belle Époque heritage.

This sophisticated venue delivers contemporary Mediterranean cuisine featuring Niçoise specialties, fresh seafood, and prized black truffles from nearby Le Rouret.
