Perched on basalt rocks overlooking the boundless blue Mediterranean, Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc is a French Riviera gem, embodying Great Gatsby-esque opulence since its transformation from a private chateau into a hotel in the 1880s. Within its 22 acres estate of pine groves, this legendary retreat boasts old-school glamour, with an illustrious guestlist over the years like the Kennedys and Churchills and is said to have inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night. The interiors exude elegance, featuring antique furnishings, gilded accents and wide windows framing views of sailing yachts on the horizon. Away from the iconic main building, its private villas hide among the pine trees, which promise seclusion and serenity of the highest order, complete with their own private butler service. The elegance and intense privacy offered by the discreet simplicity of the saltwater infinity pool, carved into basalt rock in 1914, is one of the hotel’s most alluring offerings. Its two Art Deco-styled sea-facing restaurants provide intimate settings for unpretentious summer dishes befitting for the Riviera lifestyle. For a Hollywood-worthy entrance, arriving by sea on a private charter adds a touch of glamour.
