With its picture-postcard landscape, Promenade des Anglais, palm trees, azure sea and mountain backdrop, Nice is the ideal playground for sports enthusiasts. Every year, several large-scale international events are organised in the Côte d’Azur city, attracting thousands of participants keen to challenge themselves and excel.

Nice – Europe’s leading city for long-distance triathlon – has been selected to co-host the IronMan World Championship alongside Hawaii. After hosting the men’s event in September 2023, the city will host the women’s VinFast Ironman World Championship on 22 September.

The professional women triathletes will embark on a 140.6-kilometre course comprising a swim in the sea, a technical cycle course in the hinterland and a run along the Promenade des Anglais.

Located on the Promenade des Anglais, the West End Hotel**** – a member of the 3A Hôtel La Collection group – is the perfect place to enjoy this sporting experience to the full. With its magnificent Belle Époque-style rooms offering incredible views of the Mediterranean and its gourmet restaurant Le Siècle, the hotel offers participants a unique and comforting experience before and after the race.
