The Maybourne Riviera

Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France

• No.26 The World's 50 Best Hotels 2023

Sat atop the cliffs of the Côte d’Azur, the Maybourne Riviera is the only French property of the lauded Maybourne Hotel Group – the masterminds behind London stalwarts The Connaught, Claridge’s and The Berkeley. Unlike the Maybourne group’s urban getaways, this 300m-tall hotel is a modernist masterclass of clean lines, white hues and abundant glass. Designed by legendary French architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, its 67 rooms boast floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces and stark white colouring that maximises the light and beauty of the surrounding French Riviera. The extensive range of artwork, including works by Clara Claus, Susan Elias and Matt Jukes, only adds to the beauty around the property. In line with its UK siblings, The Maybourne Riviera delivers a phenomenal culinary offering. Behind its two main restaurants are chefs with some serious credentials to their name. Mauro Colagreco, the man behind Mirazur in Menton – a mere 20-minute drive away – puts his weight behind Ceto, a seafood-focused grill, while Jean-George Vongerichten oversees La Piscine, where his famed truffle pizza steals the show. At the newly opened Maybourne La Plage, located a cool 300m below on the rocky coastline, relaxed Mediterranean plates and irresistible Spicy Margaritas are served to the stunning Mediterranean backdrop.
