Palais de la Mediterranee

Not too far from the Promenade des Anglais, which is Nice's magnificent promenade, you will find the Palais de la Méditerranée. It is one of the most emblematic examples of Deco Art. Its facade is made of white marble, which makes it even more impressive. The building opened in 1929, with a meeting of such stars such as Charlie Chaplin, Coco Chanel and Maurice Chevalier among others. The Hotel enjoyed large periods of splendor until 1978 when it was partially demolished, due, in part, to its decline during those years. In 1983 its facade was declared a Monument of Historical Interest, saving the palace from its complete destruction.
