L'EssenCiel panoramic restaurant, Rooftop bar and restaurant at Splendid Hotel, Nice, France.
L'EssenCiel is a rooftop restaurant and bar housed within the Splendid Hotel, spanning three floors with both indoor and outdoor seating areas. The space offers 360-degree views across Nice's rooftops and toward the Mediterranean coastline.
The restaurant became part of the Splendid Hotel's offerings during recent years, adding a new contemporary dining choice to Nice's restaurant landscape. Its opening represented a fresh addition to the city's established food scene.

A heated swimming pool and whirlpool bath on the eighth floor are reserved exclusively for hotel guests. The ninth and tenth floors above serve as dedicated spaces for restaurant diners with their own views.
