Le 8 janvier 1913, Le Negresco ouvre ses portes. L’hôtel conçu par Henri Negrescu attire immédiatement une brillante clientèle internationale, souverains de l’Ancien et du Nouveau Monde : les Vanderbilt, la reine Amélie du Portugal, le comte de Paris, les grands-ducs Vladimir et Dimitri… Depuis, ils sont nombreux à avoir signé le livre d’or : le peintre Dali, la princesse Grace de Monaco, les Beatles, Louis Armstrong, Elton John… Autant de célébrités qui ont profité d’un séjour sur la Côte pour vivre un peu du mythe du Negresco. Ce mythe, c’est Jeanne Augier qui en est la gardienne. Propriétaire de cepalace depuis 1957, cette grande dame aux convictions bien ancrées a voué sa vie à la préservation et à la valorisation de ce patrimoine unique.
Built in 1912 on the famous Bay of Angels and listed as a Historic Monument, Hotel Negresco is one of the few private palaces in the world.
Overlooking the Bay of Angels with its famous pink dome, the Negresco hotel, a mythical palace, has been watching the Promenade des Anglais for more than a century.
Its magical name evokes a certain art of living and the joyful carelessness of the “Belle Epoque”.
Jeanne Augier, the owner has made today a living museum. His main idea is to introduce his guests to the different periods of French history and share their love of art, from the Renaissance to the third millennium.
The Negresco, 5 stars, offers 117 rooms and 9 lounges luxuriously decorated with works of art.Air-conditioned and equipped with the latest technology, they can accommodate from 10 to 600 people.
From the lobby to the prestigious Royal Lounge, everything has been completely renovated to the delight of guests. The magnificent glass roof designed by Gustave Eiffel is classified as a “Historic Monument” since 1974. The exhibitions all benefit from the light of day and some offer a splendid view of the Mediterranean.
Come organize your private event (wedding, birthday, baptism …) in the most beautiful palace of the French Riviera.
