LOCATION
2 minutes' walk from the Promenade des Anglais, the beaches and the sea
In the heart of the Carré d'Or district, you're just a 2-minute walk from the Promenade des Anglais and the sea. The restaurants and bars of the "Zone Piétonne", as the people of Nice call it, are just a few steps away. Amidst the typical Belle Epoque architecture, you'll find some of the most famous shopping names.
The proximity of the Alsace-Lorraine tram stop makes it easy to get around the city, although Vieux Nice and its narrow streets are within walking distance. The train station is less than 20 minutes' walk away, so you can lose yourself in the picturesque surrounding towns of Monaco, Èze and Cannes.
