Le Negresco, Nice
From the airport, the Promenade des Anglais leads straight to the pink dome of the Hotel Negresco in Nice. This Nice airport to Negresco transfer follows the sea from start to finish.
The hotel and its neighbourhood
Niermans, 1913
Henri Negresco, born in Romania, entrusted the project to the architect Édouard-Jean Niermans. The hotel was inaugurated on 4 January 1913, before several crowned heads. Its pink dome has become one of the landmarks of the Baie des Anges. The façades and roofs have been a listed historic monument since 2003.
Under the Salon Royal glass roof
At the heart of the hotel, the Salon Royal opens beneath an oval glass roof, also designed by Niermans. Its Baccarat chandelier was first intended for Tsar Nicholas II. It was at the Negresco, in February 1948, that Suzy Delair sang "C'est si bon" during Nice's first jazz festival, with Louis Armstrong in the audience.
Our chauffeur services at Le Negresco
Along the Promenade des Anglais
The Promenade begins at the mouth of the Var, right beside Nice Airport, and follows the curve of the bay. The drive takes 20 minutes, at a fare fixed in advance, from €70. The sea stays on your right all the way to the hotel. On arrival, you will spot the doormen by their red-plumed hats.
Carnival days
In winter, during the Nice Carnival, the parades circle the Jardin Albert-Ier and Place Masséna, and traffic is closed there. The flower battles, first held in 1876, also pass along the Promenade. On those days, we take the streets that stay open and drop you as close to the hotel as we can.
Old Nice, Èze, Monaco
Come evening, we leave you at the edge of Old Nice for dinner in its lanes. Further afield, the Moyenne Corniche climbs to Èze, then drops down to Monaco. The chauffeur brings you back to the Promenade whenever you choose.
Riviera Private Driver is an independent chauffeur service, not affiliated with the hotel.

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Le Negresco?
The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €80 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €100 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €130 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€70 in an E-Class). The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.
How long does it take from Nice Airport to Le Negresco?
About 20 minutes to reach Le Negresco (8 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.
What happens if our private driver brings us to the Negresco on a Carnival day?
He takes the streets that stay open and drops you as close to the hotel as possible, even on parade days.
How do we get to dinner in Old Nice from the Negresco?
The chauffeur drops you at the edge of the old town, then comes back for you when you call.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.
How do I pay?
Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.
What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?
A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
