What it is

An 1848 Belle Epoque hotel reborn for today’s traveler with 151 rooms, a sceney rooftop bar and restaurant, serene spa and hammam, and activities that wow.

What it isn't

Equipped with its own pool. But honestly, you didn’t come to the French Riviera to spend your time swimming in chlorine.

What we think

Squint, and you can picture Princess Grace Kelly herself checking in here for a sumptuous sojourn: it’s that kind of place. Guest rooms were recently redesigned by David Collins in a timelessly elegant way, with wood paneling, muted colors that reference nearby sands, and just a touch of gold gilt finishes. Deluxe Rooms are cozy at 215 square feet but live up to their monikers with rain showers, espresso machines, and cloud-like goose down-swaddled beds you’ll never want to get out of. For the type of room so gorgeous you may find yourself extending your stay indefinitely, book the Junior Suite Panoramic Sea View with Terrace: it’s 527 square feet and has, yes, a private terrace that peers out on the pastel-hued town and turquoise Baie des Anges beyond.

You're here because

The spa has everything you need to live your best life on the Côte d'Azur, including a mani/pedi cabin, hammam, sauna, and treatments like seaweed facials.

The Moment

After spending the day on the hotel’s Lamborghini motor yacht, poking around nearby coves, you’re ready for R&R and head straight to the roof. At the poolside SEEN by Oliver restaurant, the view is every bit as decadent as this guava sorbet…and that’s saying something.
