We were only in Nice for one night for an early flight departure. The hotel and room were shockingly disappointing. First we got a grand tour of the "world famous" art collection in the hotel by a lovely concierge. Almost none of the paintings were actually executed by the artists on the label, to a point were it was a joke. The room itself was not to be believed: very old and disgusting carpeting and furniture that never was any good to begin with. However, the bathroom was newly renovated: it had a plastic gold bath tub, toilet, sink and shower.
An interior to be expected in a mobile trailer or brothel in Nevada, not in a Leading Hotel. The Michelin star restaurant Le Chantecler was nearly empty on a Friday night. We did not want to take the risk! Dear Mireille M, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on TripAdvisor following your recent visit at the Negresco Hotel. Your invaluable feedback is important to ensure that we continually deliver the ultimate experience the Negresco Hotel is renowned for.
At the same time, I was concerned to read that on this occasion we did not met your expectations. All our rooms and suites are individually decorated by our owner, Mrs. Jeanne Augier. The Augier family seized ownership of the hotel in , 43 years after its inauguration.
Jeanne Augier has been recognized as both the owner and symbol of the Negresco, which transformed into a paradigm of luxury under her creative hand. Augier's year influence led the hotel to be rebranded as 'the unexpected palace' and listed by the French government as a National Historic Building in Again, we feel sorry you did not understand the idea and the unique masterpieces exhibited throughout the five floors of the property.
The corridors, carpets and public areas are decorated with original artistic works made by Salvador Dali , Auguste Renoir , Nicolas Mignard , Yacinthe Rigaud and many others. We hardly understand why you mentioned that almost all the paintings were not executed by these famous artists.
