NICE’S STORIED HÔTEL PALAIS DE LA MÉDITERRANÉE ENTERS A NEW ERA

CHICAGO (June 4, 2026) - Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced the unveiling of Hôtel Palais de la Méditerranée as the newest addition to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in France. Set along Nice's legendary Promenade des Anglais, the historic hotel emerges as a reimagined expression of Riviera glamour, where Art Deco heritage, Mediterranean light and contemporary design converge.

Overlooking the Baie des Anges and moments from Vieux-Nice, the celebrated Cours Saleya markets and Place Masséna, Hôtel Palais de la Méditerranée has occupied a singular place in the cultural imagination of the Côte d'Azur for nearly a century. Originally opened in 1929 during the golden age of Riviera travel, the landmark now begins its next chapter, thoughtfully restored and reimagined for a new generation of guests.

As part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, the hotel joins a global portfolio of independent properties defined by individuality, character and story-rich experiences. From Hôtel du Louvre in Paris to the Georgian in Los Angeles, each property in the collection reflects a distinct sense of place and cultural identity.

"The Unbound Collection by Hyatt is about places with a distinctive soul, hotels that are spilling with stories while remaining resonant and contemporary. There are few better examples than the Hôtel Palais de la Méditerranée. From its iconic Art Deco façade to the newly minted Med-inspired interiors, the hotel is full of personality, making it an ideal addition to the Unbound collection by Hyatt as we celebrate the collection's 10th anniversary this year" - Tamara Lohan, Global Brand Leader - Luxury, Hyatt

A Heritage Hotel with Future-Facing Spirit

Behind the hotel's listed early 20^th century façade- built by father-and-son architects Charles and Marcel Dalmas and classified as a historic monument - the Hôtel Palais de la Méditerranée is a distinctly contemporary proposition, thanks to the transformative creative vision of interior designer Linda Boronkay. Drawing on the history of the French Riviera, Boronkay has interpreted the hotel's Art Deco heritage through a distinctly modern lens and taking inspiration from the natural features of the Mediterranean coast. The result is 173 sun-drenched sanctuaries - including 28 spacious suites - that shape a seamless dialogue between sea and sky. Enveloping curves, sensory materials, and a soft pastel palette combine to create an atmosphere of relaxed elegance.

Seasonal Dining and Sea-View Sundowners

At Zouzou Restaurant, Executive Chef Sébastien Roux presents a contemporary Mediterranean menu grounded in regional produce, seasonality and mindful sourcing. Set on the hotel's third floor overlooking the sea, the restaurant captures the relaxed sociability long associated with Riviera dining.

From afternoon aperitifs to late-evening cocktails, the rooftop terrace offers panoramic views across the Baie des Anges and the Mediterranean Sea, creating an atmospheric backdrop as the coastline shifts from day into night.

Poolside Glamour and Wellness

The hotel's indoor and outdoor pools offer two distinct expressions of Riviera living. Outdoors, the pool terrace faces the Baie des Anges, pairing sea views with the easy-going elegance long associated with the Côte d'Azur. The indoor heated pool provides a quieter retreat inspired by the hotel's timeless character and sense of calm.

The adjoining wellness and fitness spaces combine movement, relaxation and restoration through a fitness centre, sauna and steam bath designed to complement the slower rhythm of coastal life.

Gatherings on the Riviera

With more than 18,000 square feet of event space overlooking the Mediterranean, Hôtel Palais de la Méditerranée offers a captivating setting for gatherings shaped by the spirit of the Riviera. At its centre is the grand Salon Riviera, capable of hosting up to 936 guests theatre-style beneath soaring ceilings and abundant natural light.

From international conferences and fashion shows to celebrations and private events, the hotel's collection of salons and meeting spaces balances scale with character - all set against the backdrop of Nice's storied coastline.

"Reimagining the Hôtel Palais de la Méditerranée is an extraordinary privilege. This building is woven into the identity of Nice, and we have worked to honor its legacy while creating something entirely fresh. From the Promenade des Anglais, our guests are at the centre of everything this city offers, and we cannot wait to welcome them."

- Julien Renetuad, General Manager, Hôtel Palais de la Méditerranée

Unbound's Milestone Year

The opening of the Hôtel Palais de la Méditerranée is the latest in a series of recent additions to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, reflecting Hyatt's growing emphasis on its luxury hospitality portfolio, and the brand's commitment to genuinely exceptional travel experiences around the world. The Hôtel Palais de la Méditerranée joins the likes of The Georgian - its art deco grand dame peer in Santa Monica, California, which reopened in March this year - and the perfectly polished modernist urban retreat Kennedy 89 in Frankfurt, Germany.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt is an ever-growing showcase for the most distinctive voices in global hospitality, supported by the exclusive benefits that come with being part of the World of Hyatt.
