good hotel in Nice France for a 1-night stay?
We'll be flying into Nice in November, and the next day forging on to
Aix-en-Provence for a conference. So we need picks/pans for a hotel for one night in Nice. If it's walking distance to the Mediteranean, so much the better. Thanks as always. |

For a three star I might go with the Hotel Gounod, it's owner used to post here regularly and was very knowledgable. I have clients staying in June at the big sister hotel, the Splendid. (Then again you might want to go to Cannes, it is in the direction that you travel and offers about the same services as Nice with a little less congestion.) |

Too bad it's in Aix...Avignon is far "better" and far less industrial.
Be sure to go, it's very close...and don't miss Orange either, spectacular Roman Arena and a lovely shopping district.

We stayed at the Splendid, and it was very nice indeed. As it was off season we got excellent rates (something like 600 FF per _room_ per night) but that was 5 years ago, and in November. It's not by the sea, but not too far away from it either. -- David Horne- www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk |

We stayed in the Boscolo Park Hotel, which is not ON the sea but seperated
by a small park. A 1 minute walk to the Promenade des Anglais. The rooms are fairly large and comfortable, but some of them are less attractive than others and there is a problem with the hall floors, they roll and dip like a roller coaster! But the price isn't bad for a room of this quality and the location is very good, an easy walk to the old city. "Steve G" wrote in message ups.com...

Aix industrial! All my illusions are shattered. I think the industry is somewhere other than where anyone will see it if they choose to visit Aix. I like Aix better than Avignon because that main drag from the train station to the papal palace is a busy, noisy mess, and that is the heart of the place. Aix is more quiet, beautiful in its ochres and greens, and made for enchanted wandering. |
