Why we recommend it
Hôtel Le Grimaldi is a four-star boutique hotel in central Nice, a few minutes on foot from the Promenade des Anglais and the beaches. It is a good choice for visitors who want a smaller, personal hotel in the centre rather than a large seafront property.
The hotel has 47 rooms, decorated in a colourful Mediterranean style that mixes French elegance with Italian liveliness, and it is part of the HappyCulture group of independent hotels. Some rooms have views or private terraces, and there are family rooms, suites and one room adapted for guests with reduced mobility. Rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, with a minibar and safe, and cots and baby equipment are available for families.
The day starts with a buffet breakfast, served daily, which can also be brought to your room. There is a bar and lounge, room service and laundry, and staff are available around the clock. In 2025 the hotel received the bronze level of the Nice Hôtel Historique label, which recognises the preservation of its facade and Belle Epoque atmosphere, and it is part of the city's Nice Rainbow programme for LGBTQ+ friendly businesses.
There is no parking at the hotel, so ask the team about nearby car parks if you are driving. The hotel is accessible for wheelchair users without assistance, with a shower seat and space to move in the adapted room. Pets are welcome if declared at booking. Staff speak English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch.
Le Grimaldi suits couples and solo travellers who prefer a boutique atmosphere, and families who want a central base within walking distance of the beach and the Promenade du Paillon playgrounds. Booking directly on the hotel website is promoted as offering the best rates. Prices span a wide range depending on room type and season, so it is worth comparing room categories on the official website.
The hotel is in the heart of the modern city centre, the beaches of the Promenade des Anglais are within 300 metres, and the Cours Saleya flower market and the old town are an easy walk away. The tram is a short walk away for trips to the port and further afield.
