Westminster Hotel & Spa Nice

Twenty-seven Promenade des Anglais is one of the French Riviera's most storied addresses, and the Westminster has occupied it since the Belle Époque — a four-star beachfront property with direct access to the pebbled Baie des Anges, well placed for the Old Town a ten-minute walk east.

The spa runs a full treatment menu: Turkish steam bath, sauna, hot tub, and a long list of massages from foot to full-body, plus waxing, manicure, and light therapy — rare depth for a city-centre hotel. Soundproofed rooms come with minibars and safes; upper floors face the sea directly.

The Promenade tram stop outside connects to Nice-Ville station in under fifteen minutes, making this a practical base for day trips to Monaco or Cannes.
