Hotel near airport-Nice
 

I have a 6am flight out of Nice.<BR>Can anyone recommend a decent hotel (3 stars) near the airport? <BR>How far is the city center from the airport?<BR>Thank you,<BR>j.

If you don't want to stay there and are in Nice already, I wouldn't bother moving to a hotel near the airport. The Nice airport is right in the SW corner of the city, bordering the Promenade des Anglais. I'm not sure of distance, but I'd guess only a few km from city center. At that time of day, there won't be any traffic, so you will get there quickly by cab. I know I went by cab in early morning (not that early) from much farther away (SE of the train station), and it only took about 15 minutes.<BR><BR>If you aren't staying there otherwise, though, I know there is a 3-star Novotel right there, which is the usual (modern, bland) and has aeroport in the name, I think. I didn't stay there, though.

Hi Jon:<BR><BR>I recommend the Hotel Campanile, 459-461 Promenade des Anglais, L'Arenas, 06200 Nice, France. Tel: 011-33-04-9321-2020, Fax 011-39-41-52-6615. website www.campanile.fr. Right across the street from the airport terminal, with complimentary shuttle service at any time. Fairly new, high quality 2*, clean with a decent restaurant. We stayed there last October because of an early flight out on Delta. Room rate for a double, with breakfast & tax was 500 FF (about $70). Made our reservation through the website with no problems. We drove into Nice from Italy, had no trouble finding the hotel. The website gives you a good map. There is no convenient free parking near the hotel, but I do recall an underground garage nearby. However, after checking in I returned my rental car to the airport return, took the airport shuttle back to the terminal and a five minute walk got me to the hotel. Looked at the Novotel nearby; similar quality but around $100 per night. <BR>Happy travelling, Chet

Had a 6am flight last year out of Nice, our hotel was near the old city and the cab ride only took 15 min to the airport.<BR><BR>If you are spending any time in Nice itself I would recommend staying closer to the old city so you can walk everywhere you want to go. If you stay near the airport you will have a LONG walk just to get to the Chateau/Old City area or an $$ cab ride everyday.<BR><BR>Nice has a website that you can get hotel info from, you can also request that they send you a map of the town. It is a really great map, and there are other things they will send you too--restraunt guide, things to see etc.

Hi<BR><BR>There are several hotels nearby with a hotel bus shuttle service to the airport. I've used the Novotel a couple of times.<BR><BR>Peter<BR>http://tlp.netfirms.com
