How do the luxury hotels manage to follow the trends in design? Is there a seminar every year when they decide: Okay guys, the door to the bathroom has to go, and who wants to be really hip must have an open kitchen? It’s almost eerie to see how such trends develop and how fast they are taking over.

The Boscolo Hotel must have been a really ambitious student, because what you see here races with the pulse of time. A futuristic bar in the round white of the 70s, in the spacious restaurant theme nights on wine and food organized by the best chefs, the fitness centre entirely en vogue, the spa with hammam.

The rooms: White, with bright plank floor, precious fabrics and marble baths, which often connect to the bedroom without a door, and well placed furniture from the past century. Outside: The façade from the Belle Époque. The Boscolo Hotel in Nice has contributed to the invention of the word “modern”, so if you want to skip the next furniture fair, just book a room and try what would fit into your own living-room. Doubles starting at 280,- euros a night.
