Hotel Florence Nice
environmental policy

Every day, our Nice hotel strives to minimise its impact on the environment as much as possible, protect natural resources and reduce pollution.

Our goals :

Reduce our water and energy consumption by using technological solutions and eco-friendly everyday actions.
Reduce waste production by buying in bulk, sorting waste and removing dangerous waste in line with regulations.

Eco-friendly hotel
with rooftop hives

What sets our hotel in Nice apart ? There are 3 rooftop hives with thousands of bees buzzing around and producing an average of 40kg of honey a year.

This means that the Hotel Florence Nice is helping to protect bees and helping beekeeping to flourish in Nice. Did you know that my bees buzz around in better conditions in the city centre than in the countryside? That's because in the city there are flowers all year round, no pesticides and far fewer hornets.

Eco-friendly tourism

The city of Nice is laying down several environmental roots as part of a quality system focusing on eco-friendly tourism which is where the Hotel Florence Nice comes in.
Between the sea and summits, it's a day-to-day eco-friendly, green and peaceful setting that you have chosen with a stay at our 3* hotel.

La promenade du paillon

Stroll in an iconic site in Nice: the Promenade du Paillon, Nice's green lung. This park is a natural haven in the very heart of the city centre near Place Masséna. This relaxing space is bursting with trees and flowers and children love playing in the huge wooden structures!

Sustainable and renewable materials have been used here e.g. benches in wood from sustainably managed forests. Water and electricity use has been designed to be restricted.
