Situated directly across from the Hôtel de Ville between a café-lined pedestrian square and the busy Rue de Rivoli shopping street, the fun-spirited two-star Hôtel de Nice provides the kind of happy flamboyance that will either delight or repel you.
23 rooms are a celebration of over-decoration. The décor includes rich red and gold wallpaper, prints, hanging maps, heavy oak furniture, and massive curtains pulled back with gold rope sashes and tassels. Corner rooms are the most spacious, but all of the rooms we saw provided no shortage of charm.
Rooms facing the street on the second, fifth, and sixth floors have private balconies overlooking the busy street below. Hallways are crammed with scenes from old Paris, and you're welcome to chill out in the delightfully gaudy sitting room on the first floor.
