HOTEL DESCRIPTION

Hôtel du Couvent is a peaceful retreat set in a restored 17th-century convent in the heart of Nice’s old town. The building has been beautifully reimagined, preserving its stone arches, cloisters and gardens while introducing warm, minimalist interiors that feel both refined and deeply calming. Each room carries a sense of history and simplicity, with natural materials, soft linens and the quiet charm of the Mediterranean. Days unfold slowly here. Guests can wander through the hotel’s orchards and vegetable gardens, enjoy seasonal dishes in the restaurant, or relax by the pool surrounded by greenery. The sea and the city’s lively streets are only a short walk away, making it a rare place where tranquillity and vibrant city life meet effortlessly.

You wake to fountains, herbs, and soft light drifting through the garden, a quiet and timeless kind of Riviera serenity.
