It was the dream of returning to her beloved city of Nice — and the allure of a new challenge — that led her to Le Negresco: a leadership role within a legendary Riviera hotel that proudly displays its independence like a banner. A Spa unlike any other, where well-being is elevated through sensory exploration, art is ever-present, and service and treatments are transformed into an art form. “Le Negresco is a hotel like no other — authentic and distinctive — where beauty reigns, both in the Spa and throughout the house. The artworks in the Spa are all so different, yet they blend perfectly with the jewel that is N Le Spa. Spending time among them has sparked in me a more profound curiosity for both art and history.

For this unique, new gem, Maud champions a holistic approach. “A simple moment of relaxation is no longer enough. Today, we must offer a meaningful journey, a virtuous experience. N Le Spa plays a central role through the richness of its offerings and the inclusiveness of its welcome. It also boasts a concept store, a private haven – l’Écrin – and proposes an immersive yoga experience. A perfect interlude, “a living space for encounters and creative events that appeals to both local and international guests of the Riviera, as well as the travellers who walk through Le Negresco’s doors.”

In this spirit, Maud fosters adaptability and a sense of personalised care, not only for her guests but also for her team. She unites people around a shared vision and a collective set of values. “Here, we feel a true sense of freedom. Our voices are heard — far more than in a hotel group, where bringing new ideas to life can be more complex.”

Together, Maud and her team are committed to creating unforgettable wellness experiences whilst also orchestrating private and corporate celebrations. Driven by passion and a relentless pursuit of excellence, Maud reminds us, simply and powerfully: “My team is my strength.”
