LE NEGRESCO

After visiting the city of Nice there we arrived, at the most breathtaking location you can imagine: Le Negresco Hotel Nice. If you’ve never heard of it or seen it, it really is something you just have to see in person. Hospitality is an art and Le Negresco has completely nailed it! As we entered the hall I was instantly mesmerized by the royal interior design that involved original pieces from five centuries from Louis XIII to modern art. The sculptures, paintings, fireplace, furniture made of precious materials and much more – there is no need to explain why Le Negresco is such a great place of inspiration for many prominent international guests. We immediately tried to visualize this incredibly royal feeling on our shots. No other luxury hotel I have ever stayed in before delivers a similar cultural coverage. The glow of authentic antique furniture, of art pieces, and their exquisite display was just unreal! Every once in a while I had to pinched myself, just to check if this opportunity we had was really happening with us. From the first step inside Le Negresco I suddenly felt like Marie-Antoinette strolling around the incredible chateau. Constructed in 1912 and opened in 1913 facing the Mediterranean Sea, Le Negresco has thought an absolutely contemporary standard with the best updates and conveniences one can imagine! The impressive architecture mixed with elements of grandeur and the incredible hospitality of the stuff made the hotel seem larger than life. In 1957 Le Negresco was sold to the Augier family. And it has been Madame Jeanne Augier who personally furnished and equipped the hotel with luxurious pieces, including an outstanding art collection and rooms. Le Negresco is a member of the “Leading Hotels of the World” and the façade and the Salon Royal glass dome are listed by the government of France as a National Historic Building. An incredible extra is the restaurant Le Chantecler which is situated in the ground floor of Le Negresco. It is super famous for its fabulous interior with handpicked Roccocco furniture and gobelins on the walls. And the unforgettable mix of pink, lime and lemon colours make everything even more impressive. Sliding walls are just perfect for making the dinner wether a private one or a social event. Le Chantecler is listed in the Guide Michelin with two stars! My personal favorites were definitely Salon Royal and the exceptional, glass-ceilinged in baccarat rotunda in the centre of Le Negresco. I was absolutely overwhelmed by emotions, and mostly I felt honored to find myself in this moment surrounded by all this beauty and amazing people that made this experience even more special. Looking back to this getaway, everything feels surreal. I’m super proud to share this story and pictures we created together with Le Negresco with you guys!
