Within its galleries and museums, Nice harbours some exceptional art. At this boutique hotel you can sleep amongst it too - half of the 57 rooms feature walls of Impressionist murals and the other half are the wonderful and often wacky work of experimental contemporary artists.A wild mix of styles, each of the artist-designed rooms is a one-off. Up the spaceship lift with NASA-style voice-overs, check out Charlemagne Palestine's creation (number 52), a shrine to both Ganeshi, the divine Indian elephant, and Babar, Ganeshi's French children's comic book counterpart; complete with an altar of soft toys. There's also Claudio Parmiggiani's cube-shaped room (number 57), where a low bed and slim-line clamped-on lamps are the only furnishings within its entirely gold, glimmering walls and ceiling - a recessed alcove conceals a mini bar, streamlined tables, and a minimalist bathroom with opaque glass. Art apart, there's an exotic private garden with a birdcage and a swimming pool, a Zen fitness room and meditation area in the attic, a sauna, free wi-fi and online computer, plus access to the private beach, Le Sporting Plage.

In summer, take your buffet breakfast out to the garden. There's also a restaurant (closed mid-November to mid-December) utilising local produce, and a sleek bar with moulded tangerine bar stools. If contemporary art's your thing, check out a trove of pop culture treasures at the Musée d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain (Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, aka Mamac).
