The 30-room boutique Hotel Windsor Nice is centrally located in the Mediterranean city of Nice, within short walking distance of the city's attractions and beach, but removed enough so that it's quiet and serene. Art abounds throughout the upper-middle-range hotel, each of the rooms has been decorated by a different artist and the farm-to-table restaurant has the "Maître Restaurateur" accreditation. The hotel mostly appeals to tourists and couples who want to be in a stylish spot close to the action while also having the romance of a shaded pool and large, exotic garden. The hotel is a 15-minute ride by car or taxi to the Nice Cote d'Azur airport and a 10-minute walk from the Gare de Nice train station.
