Since 2005, owners M and Mme Leng have worked their magic at Hôtel Masséna: this elegant establishment feels like a cosy boutique hotel despite its large 111-room capacity. Red and plum tones are king, and the decor evidently orchestrated by the owners' eagle-eye for detail.From the sunflower-yellow lobby of trompe l'oeil murals, to the vases of orchids, each renovated room in this 1906 building is different, with touches like organza canopies and warm, glowing wooden floors. The prettiest (and priciest) rooms, such as room 315, have their own glass-enclosed terrace and rounded outdoor balcony with views over the fountains splashing in the park below. (Rooms with their own terraces are slightly smaller than those without, but it's a decent trade-off.) One floor is entirely non-smoking. You can take breakfast in the salon until 10:00, or, for extra decadence, in your room until 12:00. There are just 18 secure garage spaces including valet service, so definitely reserve ahead.

There's no pool here, but Hôtel Masséna has an arrangement with the Rhul Plage private beach, where your entry fee gets you access, as well as shade, and a sun lounge (because, of course, Nice's beaches are the pebbled variety and spreading out a towel is not a comfortable option). Afterwards (or before - it opens at 07:00), the hotel's orchid-filled bar is a sedate, sophisticated spot for a drink.
