Why we picked this hotel
Hôtel Gounod is the clever Riviera choice: a smaller, recently renovated hotel with Art Nouveau and Art Deco character, but with access to the rooftop pool, spa, sauna and gym at the Splendid Hotel next door
Hotel description
Hôtel Gounod sits in Nice’s Musiciens district, a graceful residential quarter of Belle Époque façades, quiet streets and cafés just a few minutes from the Promenade des Anglais. The hotel has recently been renovated, but still keeps the feeling of a classic Nice townhouse, with decorative architecture, warm interiors and a calmer setting than the seafront hotels. The stay works especially well because it gives you two sides of Nice at once. Mornings can start with breakfast before walking to the beach, the station or the old town, while afternoons can be spent at the rooftop pool, spa, sauna and gym of the neighbouring Splendid Hotel & Spa. It is a city hotel with beach access nearby and more facilities than you might expect from a small historic address.
Our take on the stay
Eliza
It feels like staying in a quiet Belle Époque townhouse, then borrowing a rooftop whenever the Riviera sun demands it
