Lonely Planet Review

Rooms at the Regence are comfortable and modern if a tad austere (industrial carpet and tapestry-type bedspreads), but with the promenade des Anglais and the old town just a few short blocks away it's unlikely you'll be spending much time indoors, regardless. If you do pop back from a spot of sun bathing, you can cool off in air-conditioned comfort while watching your wall-mounted TV. Beneath a backlit Art Deco ceiling and muralled glass panels, the salon's a snazzy spot for breakfast. If you're driving, the Regence's nearby sister establishment, Hotel Massenet, houses private parking for both hotels, but the Massenet's closed between around 21 November and 5 January, meaning the parking is at that time, too.
