2. Spell-binding scenery between the sea and summits

It's easy to see why Nice is called "Nissa la bella", Nice the beautiful, when you see its variety of fabulous landscapes. Nestled between the turquoise Mediterranean Sea and mountains dusted with snow in winter, Nice is listed as UNESCO World Heritage as a resort town. The "green city" is home to several hectares of parks and gardens along with fabulous pebble beaches lining the Promenade des Anglais.

Soak up the architecture on Nice's most stunning squares on a stroll from your 3* hotel: Place Masséna, Place Saint-François, Place Garibaldi and Cours Saleya which plays host to the famous flower market (every morning except Monday).

3. Nice, jam-packed with cultural and artistic heritage

Nice is a "City of Art and History" with a deep-rooted cultural and artistic legacy. The city has gems and landmarks everywhere you look. Explore the Vieux-Nice art galleries and the city's countless exhibitions at its museums including Villa Masséna, MAMAC and Musée Matisse.

Fancy watching a play or the latest blockbuster? The city of Nice is teeming with theatres and cinemas near Hôtel Lakmi. The entire reception team is here to provide you with times and any information you need.

 

4. A destination that's easy to reach by train, car and plane 

All roads lead to… Nice! The city is easy to reach by train, car and plane with one of the biggest airports in Europe. It's a great base for taking a train or driving to visit other towns on the Côte d’Azur, hilltop villages in Nice's hinterland, Monaco and even Italy. 

Its city centre location puts the Best Western Hôtel Lakmi a stone's throw from Nice's attractions, beaches, shopping centres and must-see sites. 

 

5. Year-round events

Nice plays host to cultural, artistic, musical and sporting events. There's something for everyone no matter your age. Nice stages the Côte d’Azur's biggest events all year round: the Nice Carnival in February, Nice Jazz Festival in July, Nice-Cannes Marathon in November and the Christmas Market whose big wheel towers over the city in December. You can count on a buzzing atmosphere and feast for the senses here!

The Best Western Hôtel Lakmi's prime location in central Nice means you can experience all the city has to offer without having to drive.
