Palais de la Mediterranee is a lat 1920s building set on Nice's famous Promenade des Anglais on the seafront. The décor reflects Art Déco design and the French Riviera's gambling casino culture, with its pillars and ornate glass decoration.

The 188 guestrooms feature stylish contemporary furniture in wenge and sycamore, and soft furnishings in blue, saffron and ochre. Most rooms have balconies, some with sea views; all include flat screen cable television, wireless Internet connections, safes and minibars. Private bathrooms come with designer toiletries, bathrobes and slippers.

Hotel guests can lounge on the 300 square foot solarium around the large outdoor heated pool, enjoy a cardio workout in the fitness room, and indulge in a cleansing Turkish bath or sauna.

Located on the third floor with impressive sea views from the outdoor terrace, the Le Padouk restaurant offers modern Mediterranean dishes for lunch and dinner in a dramatic dining room decorated in orange and black, with Art Déco touches. After dinner, guests can enjoy drinks and cocktails alongside live piano music in the bar, decorated in dark wood and sultry deep red. Egyptian art and French 1930s décor are evident in the design of the slot machine and gaming rooms in the third floor casino, while the ballroom follows a Venetian theme.

Facilities for business guests include conference auditorium, cell phone and computer rental. Wireless Internet connections are available throughout the hotel, and there is secure valet parking onsite.
