Le Majestic, Historical residential building in Cimiez, Nice, France.

Le Majestic is a large white former palace hotel at the foot of Boulevard de Cimiez, built 1906–1908 and now a residential building. Its long facade has a row of rectangular openings at the base, upper floors with windows and balconies framed by dark shutters, a decorative band below the roofline, and small chimney stacks on top. Slight projections divide the facade into vertical bays, and the right side sets back into recessed sections with some glass-enclosed balconies.

The building was constructed between 1906 and 1908 by architect Jules Febvre in the Belle Epoque style. It was later converted into apartments and received protected monument status in 2021.

The name Majestic comes from its years as a Belle Époque palace hotel, built 1906–1908 with Swiss financing and more than 400 rooms. The writer Colette stayed there in 1911. Since its conversion into flats, the former hotel is remembered through that literary guest and its hotel past rather than any surviving Art Deco decoration.

The building sits at the start of Boulevard de Cimiez, making it easy to reach from the main street of the neighborhood. The apartments are spacious and retain many original architectural features that showcase how the interior looked during its hotel years.

The former hotel was financed by Swiss backers and had more than 400 rooms when it opened; the writer Colette stayed there in 1911. Parts of the building, inside and out, were listed as monuments historiques by decree on 14 June 2021.
