Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas expands into France with the opening of the sumptuous Anantara Plaza Nice Hotel

Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas, the world-renowned luxury hotel group, is making a grand entrance into France with the inauguration of the Anantara Plaza Nice Hotel. Scheduled to open in December 2022, this marks the revival of a historic Côte d’Azur hotel and Anantara’s European expansion.

Located in the heart of Nice, on Avenue de Verdun, this 19th-century building brilliantly combines the elegance of yesteryear with contemporary luxury. After more than three years of meticulous renovation, the establishment is ready to return to its Belle Époque splendor.

The Anantara Plaza Nice Hotel is ideally located, overlooking the Albert 1er gardens and the famous Promenade des Anglais. Just 15 minutes from Nice international airport, this heritage establishment is also close to Place Massena and its many stores, providing the perfect base for exploring the south of France and its iconic coastal towns.

The luxury hotel will feature 151 rooms, including 38 suites, most with terraces and balconies offering breathtaking sea views. The establishment will also feature a new Spa Anantara, a seminar space with six meeting rooms and a ballroom, as well as a rooftop restaurant and bar, SEEN by Olivier Da Costa, offering 360-degree panoramic views of the Baie des Anges and Nice’s old town.

Inspired by the glow of the Mediterranean Sea and the golden age of the Côte d’Azur, the rooms and suites of the Anantara Plaza Nice Hotel offer elegance and comfort with distinctive Anantara touches. Interiors are adorned with rich Mediterranean textures and subtle accents of wood and gold, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

For an unforgettable Niçoise experience, guests can book the 54 m² ”Baie des Anges” Signature Suite, featuring a spacious living room, kitchenette and panoramic terrace. The 75 m² Presidential Suite, located on the 5th floor, offers breathtaking views of the Baie des Anges from its sunny terrace, ideal for private celebrations.

The emblematic rooftop restaurant will offer contemporary cuisine with Nicoise flavours in a relaxed, discreet setting. The adjacent elegant terrace bar, with its tiered seating, will offer unrivalled 360-degree views of the skyline. Les Colonnades, a glamorous caviar and champagne lounge, will serve fresh seafood light bites, local dishes and wine by the glass, in a setting inspired by the visual synergy of Nice’s tropical gardens and the sea. In the afternoon, guests can enjoy DELICI CARNAVAL (Afternoon Tea à la Niçoise), which will transport them to a glamorous bygone era.

The Anantara Spa Nice, with its five treatment rooms, hammam and sauna, will offer a serene retreat for the senses. Guests will also have access to a 24-hour fitness room, seaside running sessions or personalized workouts with personal trainers.

Nice, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a city of many attractions. The Anantara Plaza Nice Hotel will offer a selection of off-the-beaten-track local experiences to immerse guests in its myriad charms. The city offers lively nightlife on the Promenade des Anglais, a local farmers’ market on Cours Saleya, superb museums that pay tribute to the city’s rich artistic history, and annual cultural events such as the legendary Carnaval and Festival de Jazz de Nice.

Corporate events are not left out, with eight multifunctional rooms ranging from 39 to 309 square meters, most benefiting from natural light.
