L'Abeille - Boutique Apartments
L’Abeille’s architectural style displays almost nothing in the way of typical south-of-France nostalgia; the building’s setting in Nice’s old port district takes care of that. Outside, it’s modern but finished in classic Mediterranean colors; inside it’s all clean lines, naked timber, raw concrete, and ultra-saturated primary hues, as well as some judiciously chosen contemporary art and an occasional honeycomb motif, a nod to L’Abeille’s namesake (“the bee”). Each unit comes with a well-equipped modern kitchen, a bathroom in Carrara marble, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system among its gadgetry.
You wouldn’t expect a restaurant from a boutique apartment-hotel, and you’d be mostly right — there is, however, a lovely little garden, which grows produce and herbs for the Michelin-starred restaurant Jan, located a few streets over to the east.

Location was great. Great bathroom. Nice little kitchenette.
The design is quirky and colourful. The location is great: close to port, old Nice and the beach. Eric, the manager, was very helpful with regards to getting an electronic key and breakfast.
L’Abeille is an exceptional hotel, with wonderful staff and management who make you feel as though you are their only guest! Everything was perfect! Check-in was exactly as described, the communication was superb, the location is ideal, steps from the tram, among countless fab eateries and shops, with great people watching. And yet, when you are in your apartment, or in the beautiful garden, it is peaceful and quiet and feels miles away. (Have breakfast and a snooze in the hammock!) The customer service is unparalleled. We are so happy to have found L’Abeille, and we will be back for certain. Merci and à bientôt!
Self-check in apartments which are well-designed in the Port district of Nice. Lovely garden, just what you need from the apartments and Eric the manager made check in, check out and everything in between very easy! Recommend.
