With this article, I propose to help you find the best hotel in Nice which will accept your dog and above all the one which will be perfectly adapted so that your stay and that of your doggie is truly successful!
Nice town ideal for a stay with a dog
Nice is a “dog friendly” city. It was ranked 3rd best city in France to live with a dog by 30 Million Friends.

How to choose a hotel for a stay with a dog?
More and more hotels accept animals and therefore dogs throughout France, particularly in Nice. This is very good because you no longer have to have your dog looked after by neighbors, family or friends. And leaving with the feeling of abandoning your animal. Taking your dog on a trip, on a weekend or on vacation also allows you to share good times with your dog.
But if many apartments or hotels accept pets, the question must be asked: In what conditions ?
Indeed, many establishments welcome dogs but are not adapted at all and have nothing planned in terms of equipment ... It is often to attract customers that many hotels allow dogs. So if you don't want your pooch to be unhappy during your stay in Nice, beware before booking.
Indeed, the important thing when spending holidays with a dog is to be able to have enough space in the apartment or in the hotel room. Then, it will also be necessary to think of a place for your pooch to defecate and finally a place where you can take him for a walk morning and evening. These are the priority criteria for selecting hotels for a stay with a dog.
So to summarize, for the comfort and well-being of your dog, you will need a fairly spacious accommodation with a place for your dog to do its business (ideally a garden) and / or nature spaces (park, beach, walks …) Nearby for its outings.
But you shouldn't either sacrifice your desires and your requirements to those of your doggie. This is why it is important to select the apartment or hotel with additional criteria such as the good location facing the beach, cleanliness, comfort, restaurant, etc.
After a long search, I was able to find 2 hotels which, in my opinion, rank among the best dog friendly hotels in Nice.
Hotel in Nice with a dog (small budgets)
Here is the 1er hotel I selected in Nice among the best and cheapest that welcome dogs : THEWest End Promenade Hotel
It is first of all for its location that I selected this magnificent hotel (monument of 1842). As it is all next to the Garden of the Legion of Honor, it will be perfectly suitable for a stay with your dog. Indeed, you will only have to walk along the street to walk your dog in the pretty shaded park which surrounds the Masséna Museum.
This hotel is located on the Anglai walks facing the beach. It is therefore an ideal place to stay in Nice with a green space for your dog, the beach for a successful holiday and in the idyllic and mythical setting of the Promenade des Anglais !
The rooms are refined, well equipped and some even have a beautiful balcony. With its exceptional view, two restaurants, extremely friendly staff, this Nice hotel has everything you need for a great holiday in the sun with a dog. And without breaking the bank: Night from 128 Euros for a 4-star hotel!

Best dog-friendly hotel in Nice
Here is the 2nd hotel that I selected as the best dog friendly hotel in Nice : The famous and mythical Hotel LE NEGRESCO.
It is surely thethe most "dog friendly" hotel in Nice. As proof, here is how the Negresco offers to welcome your dog:
“As your animals are an integral part of your family, they are naturally welcome at the Hotel Negresco. We will pay special attention to ensure that they do not miss anything. Bowl, basket, litter will be made available to them so that they too can enjoy a 5-star stay. In addition to taking beautiful walks along the Promenade des Anglais, they can accompany you everywhere in the hotel. "
And just like theWest End Promenade Hotel,hotel le Negresco is located everything next to the Garden of the Legion of Honor. It will therefore also be perfectly suitable for a stay with your dog. In fact, all you have to do is leave the hotel to walk your dog in the pretty shaded park that surrounds the Masséna Museum.
As for the services of the Negresco, its reputation says more than all the words and superlatives I could quote ...
