The spectacular salons are richly furnished with a superb personal collection of antiques and extraordinary contemporary works of art. The creative guest rooms, with evocative names like the Suite Louis XVI, Pompadour, and La Traviata, are a unique harmony of history, tradition, and modernity. As for the hotel itself, there has never been a question as to its legendary Victorian elegance: Overlooking the blue Mediterranean on the Promenade des Anglais, the Negresco is palatial in its every detail. The airy interior, flowered terraces and spacious bedrooms are exquisite. There is a full range of conference facilities and the overall service is impeccable. There is a private beach for guests and golf & tennis are available nearby.

Its centre piece is a marvellous crystal chandelier.
