Villa Otero By Happyculture - A Belle Époque boutique Nice hotel with Art Deco design and daily afternoon tea service
Located in Nice's Musicians Quarter, this 4-star boutique Villa Otero occupies a restored 1900s building renovated by Parisian designer Stephanie Cayet. The property features 38 air-conditioned rooms decorated with statement wallpapers, blue jewel tones, and vintage prints reflecting the Belle Époque era. Each room includes premium bedding, flat-screen TVs, safes, and bathrooms with Italian showers stocked with Gallimard and Fragonard toiletries.

Situated 500 yards from the Russian Orthodox Cathedral, the Nice hotel stands a 5-minute walk from Nice-Ville train station, 11 minutes from the beach, and 15-20 minutes from Promenade des Anglais.

“What stands out here is a boutique approach to hospitality, with an emphasis on Belle Époque design near Nice Ville station. I particularly appreciate the complimentary afternoon tea; it's a gracious touch. The location serves as a practical base for exploring the Côte d'Azur, while returning to a hotel that clearly aims for a balance of classic style and contemporary comfort.”
