It joins Radisson Blu Hotel Nice as the sec- ond hotel of the city in the heart of the French Riviera. Located in the centre of the Arénas district and the Eco-Vallée, opposite the congress centre, Radisson Hotel Nice Airport boasts 151 rooms and suites. A few hundred metres from the airport, visitors and guests will be treated to Scandinavian artwork tributes to the city throughout the hotel. The new restaurant, L’Azur Bistrot Niçois, located next to the pool, pairs wellbeing with indulgence and offers a calm setting and a large terrace allowing guests to enjoy al fresco dining during the summer months. Chef Gaëtan Debes, who previously led kitchens in Paris and gained experience at the two-Michelin-starred res- taurant La Palme d’Or at the Hôtel Martinez in Cannes, delivers inspired, modern Mediterranean dishes, referencing the region’s sunny flavours with fresh, local ingredients. The menu includes charcuterie and cheese boards, accompanied by classic cocktails and features several vegetarian and vegan op- tions, as well as a selection of homemade desserts, ice creams and sorbets to round off the dining experience with something sweet. The hotel's outdoor pool has sun beds for guests to relax, with meals and beverages available from the outdoor bar during the day and into the evening. Guests can reserve the outdoor space for private events of up to 50 guests. A brand-new fitness room is available for guests, housing a range of modern and ecological equipment, including water rower ma- chines made from sustainable wood and a self-propelled tread- mill. The hotel also has meetings and events facilities across six meeting rooms, each fitted with an eco-friendly air-conditioning system and state-of-the-art equipment to support hybrid meetings. www.radissonhotels.com/en-us/hotels/radisson-nice-airport Radisson Hotel Group Opens First Radisson Hotel in France Images courtesy of Radisson Hotel Group
