Palais Riviera

Palais Riviera consists in the renovation of an 1870 building with an iconic address, nestling between Lycée Masséna and the former Post Office building to create contemporary apartments with absolute comfort.

With its ornamental glazed arch, the conserved entrance door to the residence invites you travel through time, keeping the aesthetic link between past and present intact. The spirit of La Belle Epoque lives in all the architectural work of Palais Riviera, which has renovated many features such as the imposing entrance door, the shop window facades and the plaster facades above, the woodwork as well as the wrought-iron balustrades. A state of the art renovation, paying tribute to the era which marked the birth of the French Riviera.

The development revisits the period architecture, by combining it with a contemporary interpretation of comfort. The high ceilings and the many sources of natural light are enhanced by contemporary interior architecture, which plays on colour contrasts and the combinations of authentic materials. The antechamber to the apartments, the hall offers made-to-measure decoration and houses a lift which serves the first four floors of the residence. All the apartments, studios and two-room apartments, are fully equipped for turnkey rental.

Made up of perfectly designed studios and two- room apartments, combining high-end contemporary services and the cachet of ceilings more than 3m30 high for some apartments, Palais Riviera houses a dream pied-à-terre to immerse yourself in Nice life. With a range of optimised urban areas, from 14 to 25 m2, the studios enjoy east or west exposures and pleasant brightness, thanks to their high windows protected by louvred shutters in pastel colours.

Six apartments enjoy balconies overlooking the quiet of the heart of the block, offering charming extensions to the living spaces. On the top floor, two transversal apartments offer layouts of up to 49 m2 of modern amenities, with a master bedroom and a reception area enlarged by the roof space, used as the storage area, the whole lit by the eight skylights created straight into the roof.

The interior decoration of the apartments is an additional enhancement to the areas and spaces, with a sober and elegant choice of colours and attention given to every detail: built-in storage, elegant kitchens and contemporary bathrooms.

Perfect for a furnished rental, intended for the wide student market or business travellers, the apartments are also suitable for holiday rental. A strategic, sustainable and harmonious heritage investment, a short walk from all the top places of Nice life.

Having all the facilities of Nice within walking or cycling distance, that’s the luxury of this central address. Neighbours of Palais Riviera, the famous Lycée Masséna and its clock tower as well as the former Post Office building give a glimpse of the city’s architectural diversity. On the other side of the Coulée Verte park on the Paillon, Old Nice offers an unprecedented concentration of good restaurants, fun addresses and food shops, not forgetting the colourful and perfumed stalls of the Cours Saleya flower market.

Students are at the epicentre of local university life, with the Saint-Jean-d’Angely campus 5 stops away on Tramway 1, the CHU and the Medical campus five stops further on and the Trotabas campus less than 20 minutes away on Tramway 2. For business travellers and conference-goers, it is less than a ten-minute walk to get to Acropolis and 25 minutes on Tramway 2 to Nice Arénas and the airport. Within walking distance of the beaches as well as the main theatres, museums and Nice Opera, Palais Riviera allows you to taste the nectar of Nice life.
