A period building with beautiful courtyard garden and water fountain, The Hotel Excelsior is situated 2 blocks immediately south of the central train station and less than 10 minutes walk to the boutiques, restaurants and bars of the pedestrian street, rue Massena. The beaches of the Promenades des Anglais as well as the markets, restaurants and night life of the Old Town are a further 5 minutes on foot. Parallel to, yet removed from the business of the shops of the main avenue of Nice, Jean Médecin, the area has the charm of belle epoque buildings and offers modest, good value restaurants. Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is only a short drive from the hotel (7 km). The airport shuttle bus to and from the main train station runs every 20 minutes up to 21.00H approx.
