Nice Pam Hotel
★★★★☆
Boutique Hotel
Nice, France
A playful boutique hotel bringing retro California colour, creative dining, and a lively social spirit to Nice's Port district.
About the hotel
Located in Nice's lively Port and Riquier district, Nice Pam Hotel sits within easy walking distance of Port Lympia, Old Nice, the seafront, and many of the city's cultural landmarks. Tram connections place Nice Côte d'Azur Airport around 25 minutes away by public transport, giving the hotel a convenient position for both short Riviera breaks and longer stays.
The four-star property approaches hospitality with a playful Californian-inspired identity rather than the formality of a traditional city hotel. Colourful vintage references, neon signage, relaxed communal spaces, and a warm Riviera palette run throughout the interiors, creating an atmosphere that feels social, youthful, and deliberately informal.
The hotel comprises 102 rooms across five categories, including Standard, Superior, Triple, Family, and terrace accommodation. Rooms range from approximately 20 m² to 28.3 m², with selected categories offering king-size beds, private terraces, family layouts, and additional design details that continue the property's retro-Californian aesthetic.
At the centre of the hotel is Pamela's Bar & Restaurant, a colourful all-day space serving homemade Californian-inspired food from breakfast through dinner. Its adjoining Boho Lounge and open stage give the property a distinctive social dimension, hosting concerts, DJ sets, karaoke, stand-up comedy, yoga, Pilates, screenings, and other programmed events. The hotel also holds Green Key certification for its environmental commitments.
Today, Nice Pam Hotel is particularly well suited to couples, friends, families, creative travellers, and guests seeking a characterful base that combines easy access to central Nice with a more energetic and design-led approach to boutique hospitality.

Creator experience
“Nice Pam Hotel perfectly captures the vibrant spirit of the French Riviera with its colorful design and relaxed atmosphere. I loved how easy it was to explore Nice during the day before returning to a hotel that felt both fun and welcoming. The comfortable rooms, friendly team, and lively ambiance made it the perfect base for discovering the city while enjoying a stay full of personality.”
