| Built in 1912, overlooking the famous Baie des Anges, and classified a National Historic Monument in 1974, the hotel Negresco is one of the few remaining private palaces still existing in the world. Jeanne Augier, owner and chairwoman, has created a unique living museum based on her desire to share her passion for art with her clients. Five centuries of art and history rub shoulders: from the classical and historical paintings of the royal portraits in the Salon Louis XIV and Salon Royal to such contemporary artists as Moretti, Dali, Sosno, Gruau and Nike de Saint Phalle. Throughout the hotel, epic periods in the history of France are represented, from the Renaissance to the 3rd Millennium. With its stylish and beautiful rooms, the Negresco entertains some of the most exclusive guests in the entire world. The decoration of each one of the 121 guestrooms has been inspired by the most outstanding periods of French art and history. Rooms have been individually decorated to reflect styles as different as Louis XIII and art decó. Situated in the arcade of the magnificent Salon Royal, the hotel's boutiques offer a wide range of articles from works of art to household and holidays goods. Furthermore, a gym and a private beach are at your disposal. |
