- Hotel Splendid, Location -

The Splendid Hotel is beautifully located in Central Nice in a tranquil, almost reclusive area of town. Although it enjoys its luxuriously ambient setting, it is still only a short walk away from some of Nice's popular tourist sights such as Promenade des Anglais, Colline du Château, Musee Matisse and a huge variety to charming bars, exotic markets and traditional French restaurants.

Nice is the capital of the Riviera and is the fifth largest city in France, however there is an old town hiding many picturesque treasures and a bustling city centre, both of which lie parallel to the sea.

Unassumingly tucked into the eastern part of town, the port exudes a charm all of its own, and the various hills – Cimiez northeast of Vieux-Nice and the centre, and Mont-Boron east of the harbour – make up green and tranquil districts endowed with stunning panoramas.

Arenas in the west and Promenade du Paillon northeast of the old town are the main business and conference centres, the rest is primarily residential. The Seaside is possibly the most famous part of Nice and for more than a century people have been flocking here to walk along the famous Promenade des Anglais.

At the height of the summer months Nice is often teemed with locals and visitors many of whom enjoy jogging, others rollerblade, many just walk, but they all adore the breath-taking views of the sea.
