Palais Regina, Heritage listed palace hotel in Cimiez, France.
Palais Regina is a palace hotel in the Cimiez district with five floors and a monumental southern front dating from the Belle Epoque era. The building now houses 98 private apartments and features a large private garden with maintained lawns and sporting facilities.
The palace was built in 1897 after Queen Victoria made her specific requirements known for a residence in Nice. Architect Sebastien-Marcel Biasini designed the building with modern amenities to meet the expectations of a royal guest.
The palace is named after Queen Victoria, who regularly stayed here and left her mark on the building. Visitors can still see the elegant loggias and aristocratic design of the facade that reflect this royal connection.
The grounds are accessible to visitors and offer a view of the Belle Epoque architecture and private garden area. The best time to visit is during daylight hours when the facade and garden can be properly appreciated.
A white marble statue of Queen Victoria stands in the garden, a quiet memorial to her connection to the place. This statue is often overlooked but remains a fascinating detail for those who explore the private grounds.
