Arty but affordable hotel in central Nice, with weird and wonderful rooms designed by contemporary artists Don’t be fooled by the bland name or the unassuming 19th century façade. You step off Nice's busy shopping streets and into an exotic oasis of art and colour. There’s an ancient Chinese throne in the lobby, a giant bamboo mobile, Tintin posters on the walls and, best of all, a tropical courtyard garden with towering rubber trees, yuccas, bougainvillea, palms, singing birds and a small pool. The hotel is a veritable style museum, with 24 of the 57 rooms decorated by contemporary artists in bold and eccentric ways, from minimalist-conceptual to wacky-whimsical. You might find hanging street signs, witty graffiti, comic-strip frescoes, a ray of painted sunshine, a gold-walled cube with a pure white bed. But this is no snobby, hard-edged design hotel. It's affordable and unpretentious, comfortable and welcoming: one of the few remaining family-run places on the Riviera. And for the less design-conscious, 'standard' rooms offer a more sedate (though still stylish) option. read more and book at i-escape
