Hotel Aston La Scala Nice, France

Escape to the French Riviera at a central Nice pad with its own rooftop terrace, near the city's charming Old Town – with breakfast and a welcome drink

Anchored on the sunny shores of the French Riviera, in the postcard-worthy city of Nice, Hotel Aston La Scala is a sublime spot for soaking up the best of the Mediterranean. Right in the heart of the action, this contemporary-style bolthole is moments away from Place Massena, the Old Town and the bright blue ocean.

Take advantage of the breathtaking sights from the sophisticated comforts of the Moon Bar – perched high on the seventh floor, head here to let the soothing sounds of jazz, blues and soul wash over you. Those in the mood for an even more spectacular experience yet can make a beeline for the rooftop Aston Club Bar, to slow-sip a cocktail and drink in majestic views. Right in line with the Old Town's Baroque-style buildings across the promenade, the view from your room is also impressive. There's also the Miroir d'eau – the world’s largest reflecting pool - just outside the hotel.
