In the old town of Nice, Hotel du Couvent occupies a restored 17th-century convent with gardens, cloisters and a quietly contemplative atmosphere. The hotel’s design favours simplicity, natural materials and a sense of time passing slowly, from shaded garden corners to the lap pool and relaxed dining spaces. Rooms range from understated former cells to suites with terraces or garden views. It offers a distinctive take on Riviera luxury: less about glamour and more about history, privacy and a deeply local sense of place.
