Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat
A stately palace with a Michelin-starred restaurant
Set in manicured gardens, this newly branded Four Seasons offers an elegant mix of old-world charm with white-on-white modernity, along with personalised services galore. Highlights include the spacious Yves Rochon-designed suites with private plunge pools, the intimate Le Cap restaurant, headed by talented chef Didier Aniés, and a Carita Spa and outdoor fitness centre. A funicular takes you down to the splendiferous Club Dauphin’s heated Olympic-sized seawater pool, where Chaplin and Cocteau once lounged.
