Palais de le Mediterranee is at present one of the several luxury accommodation solutions one can spot in Nice. Located on Promenade des Anglais, this 5-star hotel (a rating it was granted in 2009) is managed by the Concorde Hotels chain, but the history of the building goes all the way to the late 1920.
At its opening (in 1929), the hotel was one of the highlights of the tourist season that year, offering, besides accommodation, a casino and a bar. Architecturally speaking, it stood out as an exquisite embodiment of the Art Deco style, the guidelines of which were observed in designing and decorating both the outside facades and the interior of the hotel. Unfortunately, none of the original elements were kept, since the modernization works carried out in 1934 and the period of administrative dereliction between 1978 and the early 2000s have either screened them or fatally led to their loss or degradation.
Two of the hotel’s facades were granted the statute of historical monument in 1989.
