The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Boscolo Nice

"The bar, an open space adjacent to the lobby, offers some wood-toned relief from the bleached-out public spaces (drinks are the usual luxe-hotel price, around $20 and up), as does the Michelin-starred fish restaurant, Pescheria, in a glass box that looks onto the sidewalk"

"There is a cocktail lounge with cool design and a pretty outdoor terrace with lots of umbrellas covering tables and chairs"

"A small library lounge harbors international press and glossy fashion rags for guests' perusal, and another sitting area enjoys a skylight overhead"
