The website states: “California comes to Nice!
“With a décor freely inspired by the energy and colors of California, come and discover your new hotel in the heart of Nice.”
The hotel has 102 rooms, each designed with pastel colours and midcentury modern decor.
Expect surfboards and rollerskates used as decor around the resort, as well as neon signs and retro phones.
There is also Le Pamela’s bar, although this is yet to open with planned opening dates for the summer.
The website adds: “Come to Pamela’s, the Californian-style bar in the heart of Nice!
“Not only will our decor transport you, but you’ll also be tempted by one of our delicious cocktails!”
We found rooms for as little as €100 a night – working out to just £42 each a night.
However, the hotel currently has 20 per cent off if you book until July 11 – taking that down to just £33.60pp a night.
This is cheaper than Travelodge rooms, which often start at around £35 a night.
Previous guests have already raved about it, with one TikToker comparing it to a “pink ice cream parlour”.
Other tourists have praised the friendly staff, as well as the pretty rooms.
It’s easy to get to as well – it’s a five minute walk from the train station, or you can get the tram from Nice Airport.
If you fancy exploring the rest of the area, there is lots to do besides eat and drink French cuisine.
This includes the brightly coloured streets as well as the palm-lined beachfront boulevard.
And Skyscanner’s Travel Trends 2024 report found that Nice is expected to be as much as 19 per cent more affordable this year when it comes to air travel.
The report analysed booking data, consumer behaviour, and their own research.
Taking around two hours from the UK, flights to Nice can be found for as little as £13 if flying with Ryanair.
Other airlines such as easJet, British Airways and Air France also operating the UK-France route.
Brits can choose between London airports such as Gatwick or Stansted, or head elsewhere and fly from Manchester, Bristol, Liverpool and Edinburgh, albeit with fewer flight options.
Here’s another French coastal town you should visit this year.
And here’s a £25 fee Brits may not be aware of when heading to France.
