VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

The French Riviera is as much a destination for its glittering coastline as its jewel box hotels that have captivated everyone from royalty to Hollywood starlets to the European jet set. Earning the title of grande dame isn’t something a hotel is initially christened with, but Hôtel du Couvent, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nice is setting a standard all its own.The former 17th-century convent is hidden in plain sight in the center of Nice’s Old Town, off the bustling Place Rossetti. Once you step inside the oasis-like enclave, the sounds of the city fade and are replaced with a melodic chorus of cicadas — think more Provence, less Riviera ritz.
Encased by two-and-a-half acres of gardens blooming with roses and herbs, the 88-room hotel is spread across four buildings — two of which have been painstakingly restored over the decade-long renovation, original flooring and all. The result is a boutique hotel breathing new life into its historic setting in one of the most enviable locales in the city — best viewed from the infinity pool perched over the Old Town and iconic Promenade des Anglais.
