She's back! Long hailed as a Queen of the Nice Riviera, this glittering seaside palace on the promenade des Anglais reigned from 1929 to 1978 and then was shuttered. During its heyday, the hotel theater hosted everybody from Maurice Chevalier to American chanteuse Josephine Baker, who performed wearing high heels, a skirt of bananas, and nothing else. Its Art Deco facade was left intact after a restoration, but the interior was gutted. Monumental chandeliers and stained-glass windows, among other architectural features, were spared in the renovations. Bedrooms, midsize to grandly spacious, are outfitted in a tasteful modern decor, with luxurious bathrooms. Ninety of the bedrooms also open onto sea views. Behind the facade, the hotel's casino has been restored to its Art Deco glamour.
