Maison Albar – Le Victoria: A New Jewel of the French Riviera
Nestled between Promenade des Anglais and Place Masséna, lies Maison Albar – Le Victoria, a perfect paradise destination dedicated to hedonism. Defined by its exceptional breathtaking views, exquisite food and plenty of opportunities to relax, the recently-opened hotel promises to immerse its guests in the true spirit of the Riviera.
From the moment guests enter the hotel they are transported into the world of decadent elegance and luxury. Every room, every corner and detail in it draws its guests in, enchanting them with its Riviera charm.
At Maison Albar, every room blends timeless allure with refined design, capturing the essence of Riviera elegance and heritage. Inspired by the most exquisite coastal residences, their design captures the essence of the French Riviera through a myriad of thoughtful details: the play of natural light, soft azure tones, silhouettes drawn from the surrounding landscape, the shimmering blues of the sea and delicate touches like Biot glassware and subtle nods to the iconic Villa Kérylos. The result is a contemporary homage to 1930s glamour – effortlessly blending timeless charm with modern sophistication.
What’s more, the hotel’s 102 rooms and 30 suites offer unmatched views on the sea. The decor’s soft palette of white, ivory and beige immerse guests in a sense of calm and serenity, perfectly reflecting the hotel’s relaxed, Riviera-inspired atmosphere.
The views from the Suites Merveilles will have you in awe of the picturesque hills of Nice, fittingly named The Valley of Wonders. Their spacious suites with their refreshing charm are ideal for a romantic or family getaway in an elegant and sophisticated setting.
Located on the fifth and last floor, the Victoria Suite and the Céline Suite delight its guests with exceptional views of the Mediterranean Sea. Inside the rooms, visitors will find unique furnishings, such as: straw marquetry headboards or a white marble bathroom with black accents, featuring an Italian shower and a bathtub. The experience continues with a private whirlpool on the suites’ 75 m² and 60 m² terraces, providing endless opportunities for contemplation.
One of the hotel’s culinary highlights, Taulissa is sure to impress any of its visitors with its commitment to crafting unique memories and their endlessly creative dishes will leave any guest’s palate satisfied. Glenn Viel and Fred Grava, the restaurant’s main chefs celebrate the region’s rich culinary heritage by promoting local products and visiting producers in the region to enrich their menu with their unique finds. Their dedication to making every meal an unforgettable experience sets their restaurant apart from all others.
Our editorial team tried the “Pêche du Jour” — the catch of the day — and were truly impressed. A beautifully prepared fish, presented with a touch of theatrical flair at the table, accompanied by seasonal vegetables including a delicately stuffed baby zucchini. It was simply exquisite — without a doubt, the most delicious fish we’ve tasted on the French Riviera.
The restaurant is designed to host 200 people and can accommodate large groups both indoors and outdoors. Its live seafood tank and custom service tables are designed to take your dining experience to the next level, with the final touches being given and food being prepared right in front of you.
