About the Resort
The legendary Cap-Ferrat Riviera palace
The Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat is a French Riviera legend since 1908 — a Four Seasons palace at the tip of the Cap-Ferrat peninsula, set in seven hectares of Mediterranean gardens between Nice and Monaco, once a haunt of Churchill, Chaplin and Picasso. Its signature is the Club Dauphin, an Olympic-sized heated seawater infinity pool reached by a private funicular that drops down through the gardens to the sea. The original 1908 Heritage Building carries a Rotunda built by Gustave Eiffel, Michelin-starred Le Cap by Yoric Tieche crowns the dining, and an award-winning sea-view spa of around seven hundred and fifty square metres, two tennis courts and a kids' club round it out, with some suites taking private pools. Around seventy-three rooms and suites spread across three buildings in Pierre-Yves Rochon design, from the Heritage Building to the garden Terrasses du Cap and a newer wing. The setting is the glittering middle of the Cote d'Azur: the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, the coastal paths of the peninsula, Beaulieu, Eze and the lights of Nice and Monaco are all close. The Riviera icon between Nice and Monaco — its seawater pool at its best in the warmer months. The peninsula's coastal paths thread past hidden coves to the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, with Beaulieu, Eze and Villefranche a short drive along the corniches.

“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

France
Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc
Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc is a Riviera legend since 1870 — an Oetker palace at the tip of Cap d'Antibes, the haunt of F. Scott Fitzgerald and, every May, the Cannes Film Festival set. Its mythical heated seawater infinity pool was carved into the rock in 1914, blending into the Mediterranean with diving boards and ringed by some 31 cliffside cabanas. Michelin-starred Louroc dines over the sea, the 9-hectare cape park holds a 100-year-old Rose Garden, and a private pontoon launches yachting to Cannes and the Lérins islands. Across 111 keys and private villas, with the Dior Spa Eden-Roc and five clay tennis courts, it is the Riviera at its most storied — seasonal, at its best in the warmer months.
France
Fairmont Monte Carlo
The Fairmont Monte Carlo is the Formula 1 and lifestyle hotel of Monte Carlo — Monaco's largest hotel, built out over the sea, with a corner that is Formula 1's most famous: the Fairmont Hairpin, the Grand Prix's tightest turn, with front-row race-weekend views from its balconies and roof. Around 600 terraced rooms of about 35 square metres look over the sea, gardens or circuit, a year-round heated rooftop pool crowns it alongside seasonal Nikki Beach and the 360-degree Amù rooftop restaurant, and Nobu brings its Japanese-Peruvian draw. The Casino of Monte Carlo and Opera stand next door, with Nice, Cannes and the Italian border close. The lively, larger Riviera base — and note, this is in Monaco, a separate state.
France
Le Bristol Paris
Le Bristol Paris is the grand Paris Palace hotel — the first hotel in France ever to receive the official "Palace" distinction, an Oetker Collection address family-owned since 1925 on Faubourg Saint-Honoré. It holds four Michelin stars across two restaurants, Epicure at three and 114 Faubourg at one, and crowns itself with a rooftop pool framing Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower. A 13,000-square-foot courtyard garden, one of the largest hotel gardens in Paris, brings green calm; Spa Le Bristol by La Mer brings wellness; and around 188 Louis XV and XVI rooms sit steps from the Élysée, Champs-Élysées and Louvre. Paris at its grandest, with a free kids' club for families.
