The Negresco is an icon in Nice
I heard it is owned and managed by an old lady who has no kids, loves pets, and is a bit eccentric
I love eccentricity
Hotel Lobby
I wasn't able to book a room at Negresco (boo!), but I was able to snag a table at its 2 michelin star restaurant.

The dining room is so… pink!
Made me feel ilke having a rose

To get a taste of the restaurant's signature dishes, I ordered the Chantecler tasting menu.
