Nice has few trendy urban-like hotels. Colorful hotels, beautiful hotels, classic hotels along the boulevard, but urban and quirky isn't the first association the city brings to mind. Hotel Amour Nice is the exception. Located on Avenue des Fleurs, in a chic neighborhood within walking distance of the Promenade des Anglais, just outside the hustle and bustle. The vibe is Parisian: pin-up photos on the walls, furniture and objects collected over the years, an aesthetic I adore. And it makes sense, as the hotel is an offshoot of the Amour family from Paris. In Nice, it feels like a breath of fresh air.
Hotel Amour Nice: What to Expect
The hotel features 38 rooms, a bright patio with greenery, a rooftop pool, outdoor showers, and some rooms with balconies. The studios have a small living area, making it suitable for longer stays. The rooms are fresh and well-maintained, with an intimate atmosphere that doesn't feel cramped.
Breakfast on the patio is the best way to start your day: fresh pastries, a perfectly made cappuccino, and eggs cooked just right. The Greek restaurant, inspired by a taverna, looks great, beautifully styled and in harmony with the rest of the hotel.
Hotel Amour Nice: When to Visit?
Nice is a good idea year-round, which is one reason to consider this hotel. In September, rates start at 250 euros per night. If you visit in October, prices begin at 120 euros per night, the same hotel, the same vibe, but outside the high season. The city is quieter, the weather still pleasant, and the beach club remains open.
Hotel Amour Plage: Beach Club on the Promenade des Anglais
Just a two-minute walk from the hotel lies Hotel Amour Plage, the beach club on the Promenade des Anglais. The front row of chairs is reserved for hotel guests, which is a significant advantage in Nice. The club is more accessible and less expensive than most other beach clubs along the boulevard. I enjoyed a salade niçoise there that was exactly as it should be: fresh, local, no frills. You can visit all day, even for breakfast.
The Other Hotel Amours: Paris
If you recognize the vibe of Hotel Amour in Nice and want more: in Paris, there are two siblings. Hotel Grand Amour in the 10th arrondissement on Rue de la Fidélité, and Hotel Amour on Rue de Navarin. I haven't visited them yet, but they're high on the list. The same family, the same aesthetic, but in the heart of Paris.
Hotel Amour Nice: For Whom?
Hotel Amour Nice is the answer for those who want Nice but not the classic Nice hotel. For those who love Paris and want to bring that vibe to the Côte d'Azur. For those who want a beach club without paying a fortune. And for those who plan smartly: October gives you the same hotel at half the September price, with a city that's calmer and more pleasant. The mentioned prices are indicative and may vary.
