Les meilleurs lieux pour admirer le coucher de soleil à Nice depuis l’Hôtel West End

There’s nothing like a sunset over the Baie des Anges to end a day in style. Situated on the legendary Promenade des Anglais, the Hôtel West End is ideally placed for contemplating this natural spectacle from a number of the city’s most emblematic vantage points.

The Promenade des Anglais

At the foot of the Hôtel West End, the Promenade des Anglais awaits you with its exceptional panorama of the Mediterranean Sea. For an even more immersive experience, take a seat on the famous blue chairs or sit directly on the pebbles of the beach. And if you’re looking for something more relaxing, the Beau Rivage beach is just a short stroll away, where you can enjoy a drink as the sun sets.

The Rauba-Capeù quay

Just a few minutes’ walk from the Hôtel West End, the Rauba-Capeù quay is a must-see. This is where the famous ‘I Love Nice’ sign stands, perfect for capturing your sunset moment. Located at the foot of the Château hill, this friendly spot attracts locals and visitors alike who come to enjoy the view over the Baie des Anges.
The orange and gold hues reflected off the façades make for a dazzling spectacle, often accompanied by street performers who add a musical touch to the occasion.

Castle Hill

For a 360° view, head for Castle Hill, accessible by lift from the Quai Rauba-Capeù. From west to east, this viewpoint offers an unforgettable panorama: on one side, the Promenade des Anglais stretches along the coastline with the sea in the background; on the other, the port of Nice reveals its authentic charm, between luxury yachts and traditional ‘pointus niçois’ boats.
