The Belle Époque palace facing Place Masséna has been one of Nice's defining civic gestures since it rose above the palm-lined promenade in the early twentieth century — its ochre limestone façade, wrought-iron balconies, and rhythmic arched windows forming part of the architectural grammar that gives the city its particular Mediterranean grandeur. Anantara Plaza Nice arrived here after an extensive restoration that preserved the building's six ornate floors while adding a contemporary rooftop structure whose copper-toned canopy, visible in the exterior image, floats above the historic cornice line with deliberate lightness. The property holds around 184 rooms and suites, their interiors dressed in a palette of warm taupe, charcoal-grey boiserie panelling, and champagne linen — a language that acknowledges the classical envelope without retreating into pastiche. Wide-plank oak floors and upholstered beds with gold-accented nightstands carry the rooms toward a quiet residential register, while the Côte d'Azur light floods through French windows overlooking either the square's gardens or the sea. The upper floors shift the mood entirely. The rooftop bar trades the formal gravity of the rooms below for something closer to a Riviera garden party — mint-green seating, scallop-pendant lanterns, a mosaic-tiled circular bar, and potted palms against a panorama of the Alpes-Maritimes at dusk. One floor down, the restaurant wraps curved glass-panel columns around its dining room, amber pendant lighting and slatted timber screens giving the space a warmth that softens what might otherwise feel like a panoramic viewing platform.
