Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc Oetker Collection, Côte D’Azur Possibly the most glamourous hotel in the Mediterranean Ever since the halcyon days of Napoleon III, the tip of Cap d’Antibes has been a glamorous retreat where the warm Riviera sun and magnificent blue Mediterranean vistas are only the beginning. From its exquisite perch on the Côte d’Azur, guests to the incomparable Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc have privileged access to the region’s many treasures including Antibes’ remarkable coastal path, St Paul de Vence and the beautiful Lérins Islands in front of Cannes. Within the confines of the property the sense of stylish escape affirms the special exclusivity that has attracted so many famous faces seeking a paparazzi-proof retreat. The elegant, belle epoque mansion sits hidden from view within a lush and extensive mantle of Mediterranean foliage with a ‘Grande Allée’ leading between the palm trees down to the waterside Eden Roc where the pool and restaurants are found in an ocean liner-like pavilion, which also accommodates some exclusive suites overlooking the water. It really embodies the most idyllic expression of the classic French Riviera. It was the setting for F Scott Fitzgerald’s Tender is the Night, the novel that defined the 'Roaring Riviera' lifestyle. There are 118 guestrooms including One Bedroom Suites, Deluxe One Bedroom Suites and the Eden Roc Suite, which can connect with a Junior Suite to form a vast apartment. Two private villas in the gardens complete the accommodation choices within the grounds, Villa Les Cèdres with two bedrooms and Villa Eleana with three. The hotel has recently acquired a third private residence, Villa Sainte-Anne. Located opposite the hotel’s grand gates, this is an entirely new, fully staffed villa of extraordinary charm with 5 bedrooms and its own swimming pool. Dining at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc is a sublime experience. Eric Frechon – who has three Michelin stars at Oetker’s Le Bristol Paris – was brought in as chef consultant to “breathe new life into the gourmet menu”, working alongside executive chef Arnaud Pöette, a mainstay of the property since 1983, and new chef Sébastien Broda, who was formerly head chef at the Grand Hotel Cannes and earned a Michelin star at Le Jarrier in Biot, north of Antibes. Of the three eating venues Louroc Restaurant has been awarded a MIchelin star with less informal terrace dining available at Eden Roc Grill. Along with plentiful choices for water sports, tennis and soothing treatments at the Spa Eden-Roc by Prairie this iconic Mediterranean retreat will bring a bit of a-list glamour to those that want to live the dream!
