Place Masséna is a 5-minute walk away from the Best Western Hotel Lakmi Nice. It is the ideal place to start off your visit to Nice. This is the city's main square and the scene of some of its top events, including the Nice Carnival, the Christmas market and the Fête de la Musique. North of the square is the wide Avenue Jean Médecin, to the west is the Albert 1 Garden, to the south, the Fountain of the Sun with Apollo gazing down on the passers-by, and, to the east, the Promenade du Paillon with its reflecting pool.
During the day, you can admire the square's wonderful chequerboard pattern and the colourful façades all around it. At night, the Buddhas are lit up in varied colours at the top of their poles.

The Best Western Hotel Lakmi Nice is not far from the Promenade des Anglais, the ideal place for a picnic with your family or friends. This is an essential landmark in Nice for visitors and locals. The Promenade des Anglais runs from the Quai des États-Unis to Nice Côte d’Azur Airport along a total of 7 kilometres. In summer or winter, you can walk or cycle alongside the pebble beaches, with a safe cycling lane all the way.
Take the time to look out on the Mediterranean from one of the legendary blue chairs in the shade of the palm trees, and listen to the waves rolling over the pebbles.
Castle Hill
