Situated atop Nice's Castle Hill, the newly opened Hôtel du Couvent has skillfully converted revered areas into a serene retreat of understated elegance.
The historic hilltop quarter's Hôtel du Couvent was meticulously restored and converted into a 5-star hotel in 2024. As you walk through the main entrance, you can almost hear the whispers of the past echoing around the elegant arches surrounding the serene cloister. Here, every detail showcases the local artisans' talents: beneath the restored stone-vaulted ceilings, handcrafted wood details, muted colors, and bespoke furniture are found in all 88 rooms and suites. In some rooms, like the Tour Suite, guests can wake up to unobstructed views of the sparkling Mediterranean.
It would be a shame to spend all your time in your room, though. Don't miss the opportunity to stroll through the beautifully landscaped terraced garden, which features over 350 Mediterranean plant species that evoke the essence of the French Riviera. When hunger strikes, the Restaurant du Cloître offers local cuisine that incorporates fresh ingredients from the hotel's own Notre-Dame farm. For the ultimate indulgence, treat yourself to the Roman baths, a vast 7,500-square-foot complex with dry-steam saunas and Turkish baths, where treatments inspired by ancient traditions will leave your body and mind feeling completely relaxed.
