Carré d'Or
The Vibe
Belle Époque luxury — the Carré d'Or is Nice's most glamorous address. The atmosphere is sophisticated and unhurried. The pace is promenade leisurely. The crowd is luxury travellers, well-heeled Niçois, and visitors on the grande dame hotel circuit.
Description
Carré d'Or — the Golden Square — is Nice's luxury retail and hotel district, a compact zone between the Rue du Paradis to the east and the Rue de la Buffa to the west, roughly bounded by the Avenue de Suède and the Boulevard Victor Hugo. The grid of streets contains Nice's highest concentration of international luxury boutiques, jewellers, and fragrance houses. The Hôtel Negresco — one of France's grande dame hotels — anchors the western edge on the Promenade des Anglais. Belle Époque architecture is impeccably maintained throughout the quarter. The Carré d'Or is Nice at its most refined.
