le palais

we’re staying in nice, at le palais de la méditerranée. this may be the best swankiest hotel i’ve ever stayed in. it’s right on the coast, looking out over the sea. we’re in a beautiful room that faces directly out over the indoor/outdoor pool and lounge area, and then across the street out to the beaches and water. beautifully decorated with rich red and yellow stripes, the room is all w style, with crazy modern light switches and a bang and olufsen beovision6 22” lcd television. and of course there’s the free dsl and wireless, if i was foolish enough to take a laptop on vacation.

of course, the little candies and pastry treats and bottle of wine on our arrival didn’t hurt at all either.

one funny thing is that the minibar has little infrared sensors, such that you are charged instantly if you take anything out of its place for more than twenty seconds. so much for using the minibar as your own personal fridge. how gauche that would be, i guess.
