Le Negresco, Nice | Art Print
One of the most iconic landmarks on the French Riviera, Le Negresco Hotel has watched over the Promenade des Anglais for more than a century. With its unmistakable Belle Époque dome, elegant white façade and legendary art collection, it has become much more than a hotel—it is a symbol of Nice and the timeless glamour of the Côte d'Azur. From heads of state and celebrities to artists, travellers and curious passersby, Le Negresco has long been a stage for unforgettable arrivals and departures. I love sitting nearby, people-watching as valets greet guests, vintage cars and luxury vehicles pull up beneath its iconic entrance, and palm trees sway against the brilliant Riviera sky.
Living just a few streets away, I see Le Negresco's legendary dome from my balcony every day, and from a completely different perspective as I rollerblade along the Promenade des Anglais or swim in the Mediterranean each morning. Over time, I've become captivated by its elegant Belle Époque architecture, distinctive rooftop signage, expressive typography and remarkable presence on the Riviera skyline. Created from my original ink drawing, this black and white art print celebrates those expressive details while capturing the movement of the palm trees dancing in the Mediterranean breezes. Reduced to its essential forms, the sketch balances bold line work with generous negative space, inviting the viewer to complete the story through their own imagination.
Whether you've visited Nice, dream of returning, or simply love the architecture and atmosphere of the South of France, this contemporary French Riviera art print brings a refined sense of place to your home.
