A palatial Riviera playground beloved by the great and the good for more than a century, Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc sits in a class of its own on the tip of the Cap d’Antibes. Surrounded by parkland overlooking the sea, it represents the ultimate in coastal glamour: with an infinity pool hewn straight from the cliff’s rock; terraces that turn dining into an enchanting experience; and rope swings that dangle right over the deep blue water.
Simple, plush rooms with floral curtains open to reveal large French windows that look out to the sea or parkland, while two villas secluded by cedar trees present absolute privacy and a more modern touch. Cannes is just out of sight but still less than half an hour away (the hotel is set abuzz during the film festival). Wander among the wisteria and cypresses, trapeze over the sea – and simply revel.
