What’s the backstory of the Radisson Blu Nice

Built in 1972, this was when the hoteliers realized that the pristine Promenade des Anglais needed a touch of something a little more modern and avant-garde. What followed was an amalgamation of elegant aesthetics with a pinch of the city's vibrant lifestyle that resulted in this marvel we now know as the Radisson Blu Nice.

Let's not forget about the grand transition that took place in 2004. The need for rejuvenation and a tingling touch of refreshing style was keenly felt, and hence, the Radisson Blu Nice went under the knife. Not literally though - that would be a horror movie in the making! After a complete remodel and a copious sprinkle of love and care, the swanky lexicon of luxury reemerged, bigger and better.

Deluxe rooms can reach up to €300 per night, while suites and business class rooms have a heftier price tag.

If budget is on your mind, strategic bookings can help. Often, off-peak season rates are significantly lower, and there are always special promotions and packages to look out for.
