Beau Rivage Hotel set in a historic 19th century townhouse, only steps away from Nice's Old City, its famous Promenade des Anglais, and the hotel's own private stretch of beach. In its glorious turn-of-the-century heyday, the Beau Rivage played host to such artists and literati as Checkhov, Matisse, and Nietzsche. Lovers of culture and of the sunny South of France will adore the hotel's unbeatable location and historic past.
