Le Meridien Nice
Excellent location with amazing views. The room was well designed, spotless and spacious. The breakfast buffet had a wide array of options, all of high quality, and was regularly replenished. The staff do a fabulous job at keeping every element of the stay at an exceptional level.

Fairmont Monte Carlo
Excellent location with great amenities inside and outside the hotel Staff very courteous and helpful. Rooms very clean and efficient, purposeful. However, in my opinion, the rooms could benefit from a slightly more modern style and decor, especially on the balconies. But hey, you can't have it all ...
