This project, comprised both of the 5-star hotel owned by Maison Albar Hotel, with 140 rooms and suites, and of luxury stores, owned by City Mall Group, will emerge from a major property development led by City Mall Group.

City Mall Group and Paris Inn Group are delighted to announce the complete refurbishment of the Boscolo Park Hotel, a major asset located on avenue de Suède in Nice. Paris Inn Group, alongside City Mall Group, will embark on a major property development project starting in the second quarter of 2018 to transform the hotel.
Under its Maison Albar Hotel brand, Paris Inn Group will own and operate one of the most stunning 5-star hotels on the Côte d’Azur, ideally located between the Promenade des Anglais and the Place Masséna. The Nice-based Jean-Paul Gomis architects firm has been selected to carry out this transformation. City Mall, who initiated the project and will drive its development, will retain ownership of the retail space on the ground floor to house luxury stores.

Wonderfully located on the sea front overlooking the baie des Anges (Bay of Angels), this exclusive hotel will offer both spectacular views of the Mediterranean and the backdrop of the Nice mountains.

This refurbishment includes a major extension and an upgrade from a 4-star to a 5-star hotel. The renovation project will give the Maison Albar Hotel a unique position both at one with the sea and at the centre of the city’s heritage.

This urban resort project has been designed as a stationary cruise ship by Studio Marc Hertrich & Nicolas Adnet, selected for their expertise in luxury hotels and leisure.

Studio Marc Hertrich & Nicolas Adnet, acclaimed in the region for their successful renovation of palaces in Cannes, have been chosen for their ability to provoke aesthetic emotions and achieve the perfect balance between contemporary design and cultural heritage thus revealing the place’s intrinsic identity.
The setting devised for this project is a stylish blend of informal elegance and casual chic creating a truly contemporary hotel concept. Imagined as a stationary cruise ship, the concept will be rolled out in every one of the 140 rooms and suites, the 600m2 spa, the cutting-edge fitness centre, the rooftop restaurant, bar, swimming pool and sundeck to make the most in every way of the truly breathtaking views of the Mediterranean.
This hotel concept with luxury stores on the ground floor, will also be equipped with meeting rooms offering local and international bleisure travellers the privilege of a truly sophisticated experience. The hotel is due to open late 2020.
