General Overview:

The Radisson Blu Nice sits alongside the busy seafront road,  is a large, four-star business hotel that was purpose-built with a simple, almost residential appearance over its 8 floors and lobby.

Location:

Promenade des Anglais connects Nice with the airport which is only 4km away. It is the biggest and closest meeting hotel to the airport.

Easy access is provided by 100 flight routes including those from 29 European countries. Nice SNCF train station is 5 km away and serves Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulon, and Ventimiglia just across the Italian border. There are 140 car parking spaces available for those meeting attendees who drive to the hotel.

Design:

The hotel has a residential look that blends in with other adjacent apartment buildings.

Bedrooms:

The hotel has 331 bedrooms across five categories  All x145 standard rooms have a city view so any rooms including those with a sea view might be considered upgraded.

Standard rooms include a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, tea/coffee, and an iron and ironing board. The styling is business contemporary with light beige curtains and wood flooring, white bedding, light beige walls and slate grey units and dark chairs.

Superior rooms are located on the higher floors and still with city views and come with added bathrobe and slippers. These rooms, in our opinion, are not likely to be considered luxury or deluxe and therefore, acceptable for allocation to Healthcare professionals if the added amenities are removed however, the Suites and those rooms with a sea view, would represent an upgrade and therefore their allocation to HCPs be considered carefully.

Meeting space:

There are 11 meeting rooms in total on the -2 floor,  which can accommodate meeting sizes up to 320 in theatre style in the hotel's largest room, the Baie des Anges. In addition, 20 bedrooms can also be converted into breakout rooms.

Four meeting rooms on the lower floor offer an excellent space for investigator meetings or sales conferences with a plenary room (Baie de anges) for 320 in theatre style., three breakout rooms of 60 theatre style each and the Carre foyer area that can accommodate 160 for sit down lunches or 280 stand up. It is also an excellent location for exhibition stands.

For breakouts, workshops or mid-size meetings, 6 ground-floor rooms offer spaces catering from 40 to 130 theatre style.

One room on the 7th floor caters to 80 theatre style and with the terrace; this would be a strong option for internal meetings such as brand team and sales force meetings.

Restaurant:

Restaurant LE223 is located on the ground floor and provides guests with a place for buffet breakfasts. It features smart contemporary décor with light wooden flooring and tables with views across the road in front of the hotel to the sea.

The Calade Restaurant is located on the roof of the hotel and is well known for the views and offers a Mediterranean but not an upscale menu. Whilst décor is not of a luxurious nature, its use for external healthcare meetings with the views and ambience would suggest a more leisurely basis to any meeting-related dinner.

Experience:

The Acropolis Congress Centre, in the heart of Nice, is a popular choice for International Healthcare congresses including ECMINT (European Society of Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy) and ESCP (European Society of Coloproctology), a medical device congress. Radisson Blu Nice, being en route to the airport and one of the larger hotels, is a strong choice for congress accommodation and related meetings including those attended by healthcare professionals.

Fitness:

Fitness facilities comprise one room offering four machines. There are no spa facilities here however guests do have access to a sauna and hammam and rooftop pool.

Nice sits on the Bay of Angels on the Côte d'Azur and is often recognised nationally and internationally, as a resort destination. Sea views directly in front of the hotel support this resort-style geographic location. However, the hotel is not located in the center of Nice City being mid-way between the airport and the center. 

The hotel does have an outdoor and rooftop pool and is only open seasonally however, the location of all facilities means that meeting delegates on -2 floor would not be exposed to, or distracted by leisure-based activities. The hotel has its own beach but like the other facilities, is not visible to delegate attendees.
