Hôtel Petit Palais

Total number of rooms: 25 | Prices start from US$

Hôtel Petit Palais sits in Cimiez, the same hilltop neighborhood where Queen Victoria spent her winters. That royal touch helps explain the calm, refined atmosphere.

The hotel is tucked inside a beautifully restored Belle Époque villa, and it has around 25 rooms, all air-conditioned, bright, and thoughtfully decorated. Expect modern comforts, free Wi-Fi, and charming details that match the villa’s historic character. Some rooms even overlook the sea or Nice’s Old Town — a view guests say is well worth the walk back up the hill.

The elegance extends to the grounds, which include a swimming pool, and an inviting garden, providing a perfect spot for relaxation.

Good to know: The hotel doesn’t offer a full restaurant, but its peaceful garden terrace is perfect for breakfast or a glass of wine after sightseeing.
