Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée

We recently spent 4 nights at the hotel, enjoying the location along the beach and the general vibe of the Hyatt. It was a positive experience and a comfortable stay typical to a Hyatt. The staff was friendly with special kudos to Sara at the front desk who made us feel very welcome. The concierge service was responsive and knows the city very well. ||The room had a lovely sea view and a balcony that we utilized throughout the stay. The room was comfortable but not as large as some of our other rooms during our month in Europe so I might be a little biased. That said the space was sufficient for some large bags without feeling claustrophobic. The biggest criticism is the small shower area. It was a confining feeling with limited ability to turn around in the shower without hitting the sides. Otherwise there was plenty of counter space. ||The breakfast area is open air and quite an enjoyable setting. There was a nice selection including an omelette station. What would have been a welcome addition to the plums, apricots and apples that were available is a selection of berries and cut melons. Perhaps that was an option I didn’t know how to take advantage of at breakfast. ||The hotel has a small pool area which we enjoyed as well has spending one day across the street at the beach. Make sure to make a reservation thru the concierge a day before as the spots fill up quickly.

Great location! Clean and comfortable. Great views during the daily breakfast brunch. We slept well. Housecleaning was timely. The showers were perfect. Would highly recommends. Also, convenient parking garage adjacent/behind the hotel with reasonable rates.

This place is very special. The location is excellent—right in the heart of the Promenade des Anglais. The room was perfect: very clean and offering a great view. But most importantly, the staff were truly amazing, with a genuine service mindset. I would especially like to compliment David, who made our trip unforgettable. He assisted us in every possible way, and I truly appreciate him and all the staff here. We will definitely come back again.

Very nice hotel and pool. Excellent service. Good location close to the old town (about 10 mins walk). The breakfast was a bit disappointing in terms of food quality but the view is breathtaking. Nice steam room and sauna too. Overall very enjoyable experience. A bit on the expensive side but I guess that’s what you pay to be in the center of nice in the summer season.

Great hotel with outstanding views and amazing breakfast. Gym is tiny though and definitely needs to be bigger, needs more and new machinery, needs a second set of weights and way heavier ones, and needs more space and mats + benches. The view is dependent on your room and “partial” sea view can be little to no sea view. Be wary of which room type but theyre upfront and try to be clear about it. Breakfast was freaking great and rooms + housekeeping are very good

Had a fantastic stay at the hotel. I had arranged a couple of things to do in Nice but on arrival and after speaking to Nicolas and Greg at the concierge desk we found it better to let them set up lunches and dinners for us. They know the whole area so well and are really into the vibe of the city. Dining at the hotel was a pleasure. Housekeeping was very attentive.

Beautiful, large room with king bed. Much larger than most standard rooms we have stayed at in Europe. Location is amazing right on the promenade and across from the beach. Sauna and steam room were a nice surprise! Will stay here again.

What a wonderful stay at the Hyatt Nice! I stayed for 3 nights and everything exceeded expectations. The staff was warm and welcoming, the rooms were spotless, and the location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of everything. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, with a great variety and quality. A special shoutout to Sergio (I hope I’m spelling that right!) for going above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable and memorable. Truly exceptional service. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.

Do not sat here! It's like a holiday inn, old, rundown and not luxury like they represent themselves. The rooms are dated, AC does not work, beds are terrible and breakfast is mediocre. I regret staying here for 3 night. The concierge is terrible. They booked us a private wine tour that we cut short. We could have done better on our own. This is the kind of experience that makes me rethink Hyatt.

Fantastic hotel in the perfect location in Nice. Walking distance to everything Nice has to offer and easy access to train station for exploring other parts of the French Riveria. Breakfast overlooking the sea is a highlight. Be sure to spend some time on one of the many private beach clubs along the promenade. Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is pretty amazing. The location is very convenient-walking distance to great restaurants, coffee shops and shopping. It has several great beach clubs across the street. The lobby and the rest of the property is modernly decorated with art, statues and fresh flowers. The room was spacious, clean and had all necessary amenities. I didn't like the fact that the see view was obstructed because of the shape of the building, but the rooftop restaurant provided the most amazing view. We spent four nights here and the staff made our stay really special. We liked the fact that they offered both self and valet parking. The buffet breakfast was pretty amazing, too.

Trip for the Grand Prix de Monaco We choose The Hyatt Regency Nice Hotel, cozy and clean. Breakfast is great Pool is amazing Service is great, first night while posting so far so good Recommend

Terrific hotel and great location. Very friendly staff and good restaurant as well. New Year's Eve party was wonderful.

Staffs here are really nice! Very kind and helpful. The hotel is nice, we got our room upgraded to a suite for being a member. Rooms are really nice and spacious. It was a raining week here so it was nice having a big nice room. This place is next to s casino as well for those who like that. Beach access right across from us, as well as shopping and food near by as well! This place can be spendy, of course if depends on the time of year and day. Parking is literally on the side of the hotel it's s garage, BUT you have to pay every time you come in and out. If you plan to do that it's cheaper to just do valet. Breakfast buffet is great, there's an omelette area where you could customize what you want, either fried eggs or just an omelette, there's fresh waffles, pancakes and French toast, and of course bread, cheese and ham and many more other things.

One of the best locations to stay in Nice on the promenade! The staff here always greet you with smiles and making sure your stay is good here. We booked for a city view but we got upgraded to ocean view without asking. The breakfast buffet ($20 pre paid during check in, or $28 at the door) is worth every penny. The view of the restaurant is gorgeous and the food has a lot of variety to choose from, such as omelette station. We also made reservation for the steam and sauna room since they only limit one family at a time due to COVID. I love it since we had this all for ourselves. Everything I expect for a nice hotel is here.

I'm quite surprised at all the rave reviews of this hotel. I stayed for almost a week and can say that most of my experiences with the staff were not what I would expect. They were largely unfriendly and marginally helpful, specifically at the front desk. By contrast, the room service people and a gentleman server at the pool (yes, just one), were wonderful. Is it possible I just had bad luck? I suppose so, but others in the group voiced the same complaints. So, maybe don't expect much more than you might get at a Howard Johnson and it'll all be good. The rooms: Worn. They look as though they have recently been refurbished, but my guess is that they either see a lot of use, or the sort of people who stay here are hard on things. It was the kind of spot where I did not walk on the carpet or tile without my slippers. The housekeeping did a good job of cleaning, but there's only so much one can do. The beds were fine, neither uncomfortable nor heavenly. The sheets did not exfoliate me while I slept, which I'll call a win. The food: Eh, it will do, but my guess is that better can be found within walking distance. Being in my 40's, I have a strong affinity for soup. Us old ladies love that shit. I tried their gazpacho, tomato soup, vegetable soup, and onion soup. I would eat all of them again. I also recommend the pizza, and the tomato and burrata salad. Breakfast was the most lackluster meal. The buffet left much to be desired, but they do make a good omelette. That's probably your best bet. Whatever you do DO NOT ORDER A BLOODY MARY. They will tell you they can make one. They cannot. Tomato juice and Gray Goose will not a Bloody Mary make. I will say that I think this may be one of the better options for hotels in Nice. It's not bad, it's just not as good as I expected after reading the reviews. I heard from the locals that the Negresco is worth checking out. I also stayed at Hotel Suisse and will write a review on that as well. Plusses and minuses with each hotel.

I'm actually writing this review on my way to St. Tropez, I figured long ride so write a review. The hotel is in a great location with the beach across the street and various restaurants within walking distance. We didn't do breakfast at the hotel but why would I pay €28 per person when two people can eat for €10 total at any short walk cafe. The lobby is well designed and clean and there's a great heated pool on the 3rd floor. The rooms are spacious especially for European standards with nice balconies but they can use a makeover. Beds aren't super comfortable, stained carpet and slightly overused furniture. The room was overall comfortable and stay able but definitely not 5 stars. Staff not rude but definitely not the friendliest but that doesn't bother me as a traveler. If I was in the area again I wouldn't not stay but I probably would see what else is around prior to committing.

I mean, it's the French Riviera, so yeah, great atmosphere. Waiter was super friendly but a bit inattentive. Food was perfect (poke bowl, fries). Only bummer was when the evening DJ started setting up at about 430, doing awful soundcheck white-noise bs, seemingly calculated to drive us off...which worked. But it was otherwise a good spot, and a summer Friday in Nice comes with certain risks, I suppose.

We stayed here a couple of weeks ago for 8 days and have nothing but good memories. We were upgraded to a beautiful ocean view room with a special little picture window that our daughters could climb inside and stare out at the ocean. The suite was perfect and huge! We had plenty of space for all and it was set back from the hallway so it was always quiet. Every little request was accommodated and each morning the staff greeted us warmly and at breakfast. The hotel was super quiet even though it was on a busy street and it was in a fantastic location. We were right on the promenade and there was plenty within walking distance. We checked out the pool and it had a great indoor and outdoor section. Overall we loved our stay and would love to return!

The hotel and the location were amazing. The staff is what really set the experience apart. Especially Louis at Reception with his friendly welcoming attitude and Stephane our valet. Stephane even brought us 2 bottles of water as we were packing our car to leave. We can't wait to return next time.

Stopped by the lounge on the Promenade des Anglais for some breakfast with relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere and stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea.

This is the first Amex fine hotel property I booked. You get daily free breakfast and a $100 on-property credit with each stay. On top of that they let you check-in early, have guaranteed 4pm checkout, and possibly upgrade your room... So, I'm a little biased on this review because the experience was already going well... We found the hotel easily, left our car with the Valet and checked in quickly. REALLY a nice place. The pool was both indoor and outdoor and was fun. The drinks were NOT CHEAP.... but the service and experience was great. The breakfast buffet was GREAT with cheeses, made to order eggs/omlettes with eggs from cage-free chickens. The juices etc were all amazing.... ok, ok, ok,,, it's starting to sound like I work here so I'll stop. I usually stay at Marriott hotels so this was an interesting change. We paid top dollar and enjoyed every bit of it.

Hyatt Nice This is a very well located property on the famous Promanade des Anglais beachside street (that runs from the port to the airport) in Nice facing the Western Mediterranean Sea. The facade of the building is beautiful from the outside - been around since the 1920s - and looks like a place. I wanted to give this hotel 5 stars for the terrific service, location, beautiful seaside restaurant, and swimming pool, but the bland rooms and the interior of the hotel (with an offensively strong floral fragrance that is sprayed in the hotel lobby), coupled with poor housekeeping service, and the "nickel and dime-ing" I dealt with when I requested the front desk to clear out the mini bar (since my 2 year old kept wanting to go into it) force me to lower the rating to 4 stars. I stayed at the hotel with my family (wife and 2 year old daughter), while we were celebrating my birthday. The staff was very doting and gave us a bottle of wine and provencal box of treats (tepenade, sun dried tomato spread, and such) as a welcome gift (thank you very much for that Hyatt Nice management - that was truly appreciated). We are Hyatt platinum members, so got a room upgrade from a city view to ocean view, which was very welcome. They have nice sized balconies from which you overlook their beautiful indoor/outdoor pool and the sea (which you can see through the columns of the building's facade) and enjoy breakfast every morning. We did struggle with housekeeping, who did possibly the worst clean up job we have even seen in a hotel, let alone a flagship Hyatt 5 star in Nice. We had a bottle of wine on one of the evenings on the balcony, and brought in the glasses and placed them on the main desk in the room when we were done. The next afternoon, after the housekeeping was done, we found the same dirty glasses in the room, along with the entire contents of the table (tourist maps and other Nice literature) left disorganized. Even the glass stains from the wine were not wiped down on the balcony table or the desk inside. I think it's reasonable to ask that dirty glasses be removed from the room, stains we wiped down, and some papers be organized and stacked so you get a clean feeling upon re-entering the room in the evening. We got none of that. Overall, I think Hyatt needs to add a little more life into the look and feel of the rooms, and train their housekeeping staff to truly make this hotel feel like a 5 star. The service is terrific, but please stop being petty about things such as Mini Bar "clearing" charges - you don't make your money by making guests feel cheated (even though it may cost you a couple euros in labor, it helps make a 5 star hotel experience feel special).

Great experience. Staff super friendly and eager to help. Would absolutely stay again. Terrace restaurant was a delight for wine and small bites.

Out of all the hotels we stayed at in France, this was by far my favorite. If you can, go balls out and get a superior room with a view of the Mediterranean. You won't regret it. The room was large, very comfortable and nicely decorated. The staff was friendly, attentive and personable. The concierge was most helpful. The hotel's also in a great location- right by the sea, 10-15min walk to the old town.

Good location, but in a very touristy area. Breakfast was not good. Don't order a Bloody Mary. Staff was not helpful in securing dinner reservations. A quality hotel should have recommendations and be more than happy to arrange. Would not return

A great choice while in Nice. The Hyatt is located conveniently on the Promenade des Anglais, the main beachside strip that runs several miles from the port to the airport. As a result, you can walk out your door and literally trip over countless cafes, the gorgeous Mediterranean and a wonderful assortment of people strolling, sitting, bicycling and jogging along the coast. There's nothing better than a hotel that provides a quiet respite while still providing all the action at your doorstep. The lobby has a wonderful floral fragrance that is prominent even from outside around the block! Not overpowering, just comforting in a subtle and pleasant manner. The hotel itself isn't anything particularly special or breathtaking. A clean, nicely-presented Hyatt with friendly staff, lovely rooms and a nice bar/patio/pool area from which you can take in the breadth of the Mediterranean. We opted for a superior partial ocean view room. I know others have said that they wouldn't splurge on this, but I say: DO IT! I thought it was totally amazing to wake up in the morning and sit on our large balcony, being lulled into contentment by the sound of the ocean and the city coming to life. Another plus of these rooms is that the soaking tub in the bathroom also opens to the balcony and the sea (discreetly of course), so you can lie in the bathtub and gaze at the ocean, too. Wonderful! Walk around the block from the hotel to Rue Messena -- it will take you to Place Messena and bridge you into the Vieux Nice (old Nice) part of town. I loved how close the hotel was to Rue Messena...countless restaurants with al fresco seating, shops, hustle/bustle. It was wonderful. Another plus was being able to step outside and go running along the promenade very easily. The distance from the hotel to the tip of the port is around 1.5 miles, so if you do a round trip, it's a nice leisurely way to start the day while on holiday. Quite flat and very beautiful. The price for this place was not pretty -- it is one of the more expensive options in Nice for sure. But everything in the larger cities on the Côte D'Azur is pricey, similar to Paris. I highly recommend this hotel.

Best location. Cleanest hotel super friendly and accommodating staff. Loved the pool area and feel asleep to waves crashing every night. Room service e was reasonable and fast. Enjoyed our 5 days in this spa like hotel.

Love! After a week in Paris, my husband and I decided to do a quick three days to Nice. After research and recommendations, we determined to stay at the Hyatt. my husband worked directly with Katia, who was a rock star, and helped finalize our stay. The hotel is a quick Uber ride away. The hotel is beautiful with amazing views. The rooms are gorgeous. We enjoy walking and walked everywhere. Highly recommend! Ps - definitely worth the upgrade to a sea room view. We debated and once we were there, we were so glad that we did it!

Stayed here for the last leg of our trip. Great location. Loads of shops & restaurants right behind the property. Very helpful staff, especially the Concierge. Asked how to rent bikes and he offered the ones the hotel had. Great breakfast with a terrific view of the ocean. The rooms were very nicely appointed. Will definitely stay there again if we go back to Nice. Highly recommend.

Excellent stay all the way around. Very nice room, unique property, and above all exceptionally professional staff. We stay in hotels a lot and often find the service to be a bit hit or miss. At this property every staff member we encountered was courteous, helpful, and friendly. It made a pleasant stay that much nicer to have such a personable group of people taking care of us. We will be back!

Great location, the ocean view is perfect. Room is clean and staffs are very helpful. The breakfast at 3rd floor is good too.

Room service and food are super important to me. This hotel gets a big F. A room service menu for late night for food that the hotel doesn't have; French onion soup that is NOT French onion soup - it's more like make it yourself soup - they provided hot liquid and onions - cold cheese and croutons - both on the side. I ordered a cheese omelette and received a very nice omelette with NO cheese. Pricey and not worth it unless you are willing to pay full service prices for less than full service. Also important is cleanliness - hallways smell and room carpet has disturbing stains. The building is beautiful but.....

A perfect stay from beginning to end with exquisite service from the friendly staff among the many elegant facilities. Beautiful art deco touches on the facade take you back to the hotel's glamorous history and my ocean view room had the perfect balcony seats to enjoy soaking in the morning sun. *****

First of all, it's annoying that the two 1-star Yelp reviews on here are from people who don't understand how check-in times work. This is a very busy/booked hotel -- especially during the summer -- so don't expect to waltz in here at 11am and have your room ready for you: check-in time is 3pm! With that out of the way -- to sum it up -- this is a pretty good hotel with the only significant downside being that it's not cheap. That being said, there's a lot to like. I booked a partial sea view room and was slightly concerned that their definition of "sea view" meant that if I leaned over the balcony railing, I would barely be able to see the water. That isn't the case. Even with a "partial" view, it's still very nice, and having a patio on which to enjoy the scenery and your breakfast is a bonus. The hotel is generally well-designed with most of the rooms facing the ocean, overlooking a center courtyard where one of the restaurants (which was pretty good)/bars operate and where the indoor/outdoor pool is situated. I will say the pool is quite family-friendly, but that may be a downside for some. It was very convenient to be able to so easily lounge by the pool and get drinks, though. The housekeeping came twice a day and was detailed and efficient. Staff was pleasant, mostly spoke English... we didn't experience any major problems. The rooms are mostly updated and there are separate showers, which isn't always a guarantee in France. I will say the rooms are perhaps slightly bland, but they are clean and pleasant enough. Probably the best thing about the hotel is the location! You're right on the water, super close to the most interesting part of Nice, plenty of great nearby restaurants blocks away, 15 minute walk from the train station, etc. And getting a taxi is trivial too, if you're going to go that route. If you are planning on never leaving your room maybe this hotel isn't the best option for you, but we were looking to explore Nice and its surrounding areas (via Train), so it worked out well for us. One slight disappointment is that the hotel doesn't have any direct beach access, despite the beach being just across the street. If you want a chair/umbrella on the beach, there's a club nearby that you'll have access to, but it's around $27 Euro per day per person. The nearby beach, by the way, is quite rocky (as most beaches in the area are, to varying extents) and the waves can get quite aggressive... I actually wouldn't recommend it if you have small children, but you can take the train to calmer, less rocky places. I don't know if I'd categorize the Hyatt Regency Nice as a 5-star, super luxury resort or anything, but it's definitely above average in nearly every respect and we enjoyed our stay. I'd recommend staying here if you're looking for a nice place in Nice and the price fits your budget.

While I understand that check-in is at 3:00 and they cannot guarantee any rooms for guests who arrive before then, this one star is for the poor attitude of the staff. We arrived around ten in the morning due to an early and unchangeable flight. They charged our credit cards and signed us in, but as the rooms were not yet available, we left our baggage at the desk and went out for breakfast and a stroll. We returned to the hotel at 11:30 and proceeded to wait in the lobby. I was with my 60-year-old parents, older brother, and 5 1/2 months pregnant sister-in-law and we just sat, virtually ignored by the hotel staff who neither inquired after us or paid us any attention. I approached the desk once around noon and was told that one of our rooms had been checked-out of by the previous guests and was already in the process of being cleaned. I went back again a full hour later, and I said, "I know that our rooms aren't ready yet, but I was hoping I could get an approximate time? My sister-in-law is pregnant and very uncomfortable on the lobby couches." The two women behind the counter proceeded to be exceedingly unhelpful, borderlining on rude. One even said rather curtly, "We see you sitting there. No, we haven't forgotten you." And "No, we can't give you an exact time." Which wasn't what I was even asking, as I just wanted an approximation. Given that this is a "5 star" hotel, I definitely expected better service, better attitudes, and a little more accommodation for pregnant and older guests. So, one star, for your lack of consideration.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights before we headed over to Corsica. I had the best nights sleep and the staff was also super helpful and out shined all of the other hotels we stayed at on this trip. We were upgraded to a suite and it had a living room, dining room, two bathrooms and a walk in closet! The sink was HUGE to even American standards. I was in heaven! Their breakfast buffet was also included and nice. The views are nice only on some floors but the location is awesome too.

Been waiting since 11am from an overnight flight from states. They said they put me on priority list but i guess that is the "lets forget" this guest list. 3hrs later still waiting So much for being a priority member and paying premium for your room. Will NEVER stay at this hotel and probably sherd my hayatt card and flush it down toilet

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The staff are friendly and accommodating that you won't miss anything during your stay here!! It is perfectly distanced from the old town which will only ate you 10-15 min walking! We are planning on going back and I know already where I like to stay on my next visit to Nice!

First time in Nice and so far so good. The Hyatt is located in a regal looking building on the Cote d'Azur. I believe they are going thru or will go thru renovations which will bring this property up to Regency standards. No executive lounge yet but, small price to pay to stay in a beautiful hotel.

We were thrilled when we walked into the hotel.... it was incredible. So beautiful and artistic. The moment we walked in our room it was the lap of luxury. They gave us complimentary electrical converters and water. We enjoyed going down to the pool, sauna, and steam room in our white robes. We really appreciated how classy and friendly the staff were at the hotel and especially appreciated our beautiful view. We did eat at the restaurant and the food was delicious ... also the room service just as good. Overall such a pleasant experience I wish we stayed there our entire trip.

Amazing, clean hotel with exceptional service. This hotel is located close to the beaches and promenade in Nice. Hotel has a rooftop pool with restaurant that's open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I would definitely return again!

The views are just as impressive (if not more) as the pictures that made us consider this Hyatt property. We spent every evening gazing at the Med over amazing wine and delicious tapas (my husband love the spring rolls). The pool design was very unique, half indoor half out door, great towels, attentive staff. Our room was beautiful with an ocean view, very comfortable bed, very quiet and relaxing. This property is very central to shops, restaurants, beach clubs,etc. We will definitely be staying at the Palais de La Mediterranee on our next visit to Nice.

A perfect experience from beginning to end at this genuinely 5 star hotel with exemplary staff and facilities. Beautiful art deco touches on the facade take you back to the hotel's glamorous history and my ocean view room had the perfect balcony seats to enjoy soaking in the morning sun. Nice is probably my favorite city in France.

Great hotel right on the water in Nice. Our room was really wonderful and even without a water view it was great to have a balcony to sit outside and see the mountains and city in the background. The location is great, right on the Promenade and a quick walk to Old Town. We didn't get to check out the pool, but did have a drink at the bar, on the house since our room wasn't ready, and it was pretty lovely. I hesitated to book an american hotel during a european trip, but would highly recommend this to all (especially after our hotel before only having a bath and no shower!)

It definitely doesn't get any better than this! I have stayed there on quite a few occasions and it is the best oasis retreat I have found in France. It's very new & modern on the outside and also in it's suite decor. The service is unsurpassed and you will never need for anything! The pool is a secluded haven to sunbathe or swim laps as it's on the 4th or 5th (can't remember exactly) floor. They also have an indoor pool/jacuzzi that somehow intertwines with the outdoor one. The only fault I found was that the exercise facility was a bit lacking; but then again, who goes to a place like this to exercise???

My mother and I had a wonderful time at the Hyatt Regency. Our room overlooked the pool and beach. The concierge was the best. They kindly accepted my muddled attempts at french and assisted us in navigating the train system so we could go to Cannes and Monte Carlo. We also enjoyed the staff in the restaurant where we went for breakfast and a few nightcaps. The first night was a bit noisy, but we soon realized we had our own metal roller shutters that we could control with the touch of a button. The next few nights, we didn't hear a peep from the beach! Excellent hotel - best location.

Awesome hotel right by the Promenade des Anglais. Great location.

We have status at Hyatt and from that alone you would think we would be afforded some curtesy or just plain politeness from this hotels staff especially since their were told we are on our honeymoon but it was like every single staff member of this hotel had no fear at all of losing their job or just plain didn't care for the customers experience whatsoever. We have never been treated or talked to like this before at an establishment once much less over and over again. We would also call for things several times and have them never come. Ask questions and basically get bitched out for asking them like we were stupid and never should have asked. The towels we received at one point were so rough the my face literally scratched me. We also payed a substantial resort fee for what we thought was use of a private section of the beach with chairs but it turns out nope! And it took awhile for anyone to be able to tell us who they actually partner with for the beach and it isn't the beach directly in front of the hotel. The part of the beach they partner with is further down and you only get a tiny discount to pay MORE than the one directly in front of the hotel so do yourself a favor and just don't bother. No idea what the resort fee is even for especially since yes they do have a small gym sauna and pool but they close it super early each day. Why not keep it open like any normal hotel? And the showers are bizarre they are curved so they don't leave you much space. My husband is very tall and had a horrible time showering in that thing. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else where they will treat you better if you have to stay in Nice. We found out there are way better beaches in Cannes.

We stayed here for 5 nights on our honeymoon and everything was wonderful. The hotel is in such a great location, and the amenities are world class. Laying by the pool with a phenomenal view of the Mediterranean was such a relaxing, enjoyable way to spend a day. In addition, the breakfast buffet was one of the best I've ever been to. What put this hotel over the top was how great the staff was. Our room was not ready on time, so we were treated to free drinks at the bar. When we needed a restaurant recommendation, the concierge was very on top of the surrounding area and gave great advice. Every staff member that we dealt with had a warm smile and a friendly attitude, as well as the ability to speak clear English, which definitely goes a long way considering I don't speak a lick of French. I look forward to returning to the Hyatt Regency Nice.

During a 15 day trip to Nice I stayed at the Hyatt one night. I tried to book another, because I was so impressed but they were booked solid. The check in was seamless, and the room was spotless. It had a terrace overlooking the city. The bed was huge, not two pulled together, and it was very comfy. There were robes, iron, mini bar, etc. The bathrooms had a separate true shower and a big tub. Plenty of closet space and drawers. There was a hallway door to close to block out the typical hallway noise from passing guests. The pool was very nice with a restaurant connected with ocean view seating. I ordered drinks from there for the pool, and I had lunch there as well. My only complaint was they did not have anyone coming to serve you while you were at the pool. I would highly recommend this hotel especially due to the location right across from the beach, by the casino, and close to restaurants and shopping.
