New hotel in Nice: Villa Bougainville, an invitation to travel

The decoration of Villa Bougainville echoes the expeditions led by the navigator Louis Antoine de Bougainville, a navigator impassioned by botany.

“The Coste and Butin Atelier designed the decoration of the hotel, explains Hameline Ferrero, the hotel’s Director, they wanted to recreate an atmosphere of abundance linked to the luxuriance of exotic vegetation.”

Turquoise blue and water green walls, wallpapers with bird patterns, cabinets of curiosities, and vintage-style eclectic furniture evoke an exotic atmosphere right upon entering the lobby.

The 46 rooms of the Villa Bougainville (Single, Standard or Triple) prolong this journey. Rust or turquoise colored, these rooms are adorned with astonishing wallpaper that illustrate lush and indistinct foliage.

The vintage furniture and collectible naturalist drawings hanging on the walls truly immerse clients into the scientific and botanical world of Bougainville’s time.

Everyday, from 2pm to 7pm, is the time of “l'Odyssée gourmande”, a tasting of ice teas assorted with fresh and dry fruits provided for free to the clients of Bougainville.

Other advantages reserved to clients of Bougainville include: welcome trays in the rooms and free coffee in the lobby.
