A former explorer's villa, our boutique hotel in Nice station is melted in an exceptional Belle Epoque masonry typical of the Musicians' district.
The 46 rooms of Villa Bougainville extend the journey. Available in orange and turquoise blue, they are dressed up in lush foliage. The exotic wood veneered furniture accentuates the charm in the spirit of a naturalistic collection.
Light plays the leading role in this setting, which rests on the overwhelming southern sun and will rock you all the way to the retro bathrooms, all with a large Italian shower.
You will like the cozy exoticism that cultivates Villa Bougainville highlighted by the decoration inspired by botanical and navigation.
The taste for Travel and the figure of Louis Antoine de Bougainville, great navigator and explorer of the eighteenth century, give to this Boutique Hotel all his splendid personality.
Our Belle Époque villa does not betray the architecture of the Musicians' quarter. Its 19th century architecture dominates the old town of Nice. But be reassured, our villa offers a setting and top-of-the-range services in 46 double or single rooms.
The sea being so present in Nice, we wanted to pay tribute to the adventurers of the past; those who made the history of the French Navy. Louis Antoine de Bougainville is one of them. He accomplished the feat of making the first official and scientific circumnavigation of the world by a Frenchman.
In our Boutique hotel in Nice, you will find the decorative elements of the adventures of La Boudeuse and L'Étoile, the two boats of Bougainville. Immerse yourself with both hands in our extraordinary bric-a-brac made up of trunks, jars filled with flowers and travel books that characterize the cabin of a long-distance captain. Leave for Tahiti (New Kythera) via the Strait of Magellan.
How can we not mention the world-famous Promenade des Anglais? Bordered by palm trees for 7 kilometres, it unfolds its charms from the hill of the Château to the international airport of Nice.
Our visitors favour the part between the old town of Nice and the Negresco, passing by the Albert 1er Park and the Mediterranean Palace. From your 4-star Bougainville hotel, walk down the entire length of Rue Guiglia. In only half an hour, you are by the sea.
Follow the sea on your left to visit the gardens of the Massena museum, and thus reach the Albert 1st garden. If you don't want to visit the shopping centre near the hotel, every morning (except Monday) there is a typical open market on Cours Saleya.
The old town of Nice and its shady alleys is there, a few streets away from our Boutique Hotel Bougainville, in the folds of the Castle Hill. The best way to get there is on foot, 15 to 20 minutes are enough.
But why not take the T1 tramway line which will get you there without tiring in a quarter of an hour? There, you will be bathed in the vintage atmosphere of Giono's films, in front of the colourful facades and the typically Mediterranean shutters. If you need a refreshment, this is the place to choose a table on the terrace.
In addition to the places described in the centre of Nice, other sites are worth a visit: admire the square of the courthouse, the Rossetti square, where the Cathedral Sainte-Réparate is located and finally the Saint-François square and its fish market. It is through these streets that you will reach the Colline du Château and its park overlooking the old town of Nice.
