Automatic doors slide open into the lobby designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte, where polished beige tiles combine with wood paneling. Soft vertical strip-lighting and ceiling spotlights illuminate chunky sofas and armchairs with oversized cushions. The summer months attract predominantly couples and families on vacation, and the cooler season brings more international business travelers. Amenity highlights: As one of the few hotels in Nice to feature its own private beach, the Beau Rivage offers guests exclusive access to the property’s seafront area, which has a bar and restaurant. Guests can choose a beach package, which includes the use of an umbrella, sun lounger, and towels, for a daily rate of €12 (price subject to change). Open from April to October, the pebbly beach and wooden deck can accommodate parties and events for 1,200 people (access to the private beach is at a surcharge).

The hotel’s 118 guestrooms are streamlined and contemporary in design. All are decorated in brown and beige tones and have individually designed touches and locally inspired black-and-white photographs. Lighting is provided by back-lit swivel mirrors, spotlights, and wall-mounted circular lights designed by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Remote electronic black-out blinds and typical Niçoise-style slatted window shutters cover the wall-length windows. Upholstered chairs in the rooms face sliding desks with ports for high-speed Internet access (surcharge). Beds have linen sheets, plump square pillows, and white hypo-allergenic duvets. Plasma TVs offer satellite channels, pay movies, TV-based Internet, and music on demand (surcharge for movies, music, and Internet services). White-tiled bathrooms have smooth pebble floors, heated towel rails, and combination tub/showers with handheld showerheads.
