Grand Hôtel du Cap Ferrat, a Four Seasons Hotel

This Belle Époque residence has been shining on the Riviera for over a century. A short stroll between the seawater swimming pool, carved directly out of the rock, and the Mediterranean gardens (including rare Aleppo pines), or a glance up at the period rotunda designed by Gustave Eiffel, is enough to grasp its appeal for Jean Cocteau and Charlie Chaplin. Today, the hotel captivates the stars of Cannes seeking Côte d’Azur bliss once the Festival has drawn to a close. Two estates offer rooms and suites, or, at Les Terrasses, little sanctuaries of tranquillity. Le Cap, a Michelin-starred restaurant, will take you on a journey through the subtleties of Provençal cuisine, where vegetables, fish and shellfish take centre stage. The Concierge, connoisseur of the region’s treasures, will no doubt suggest you visit the Villa Kérylos. Make sure you take his advice.
