4 rue de la Tour; s/d €79/91; )

but perfectly formed, the Villa la Tour is delightful, with warm, romantic Provençal rooms

Colline du Château and surrounding rooftops.

;
11 rue Dalpozzo; d €120-175;
)
High-profile artists have decorated more than half the rooms here, with very bold,
sometimes unsettling designs. Traditional rooms are more soothing yet still nod to the arts
with hand-painted wall murals. Rooms facing the backyard tropical garden have lush
views.

Hôtel Wilson €

; 39 rue de l'Hôtel des Postes; s/d €50/
55; )
Years of travelling, an experimental nature and exquisite taste have turned Jean-
Marie's rambling flat into a compelling place to stay. The 16 rooms have individual, care-
fully crafted decor and share the eclectic dining room.
The hotel is on the 3rd floor and there's no elevator. Unusually, people are allowed to
smoke in some rooms, so ask to see a couple if you're concerned about the smell.
BOUTIQUE HOTEL
Exedra €€€

; 12 bd Victor Hugo; d from €255;
)
Totally gutted in 2008, the belle époque shell now houses one of Nice's most sexy es-
tablishments. Inside, the hotel is an ultra-modern ode to white, from furniture to fabrics,
bathroom fixings and walls, with only the odd touch of colour breaking through the min-
imalist decor.
