Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat
Cote d’Azur, France

Perched on the exclusive peninsula of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat between Nice and Monaco, this legendary hotel has welcomed royalty, artists, aristocrats and society's most discerning travellers for more than a century. Surrounded by six hectares of Mediterranean gardens and overlooking the sea, it remains one of the Côte d'Azur's most iconic addresses.

The experience begins with the setting itself. Lavender, pines and cypress trees frame pathways leading towards terraces with uninterrupted views of the Riviera coastline. Elegant rooms and suites occupy both the historic heritage building and the secluded Terrasses du Cap, offering a rare balance of glamour, privacy and tranquillity.

At the heart of life here is the legendary Club Dauphin, one of the most celebrated pool clubs in Europe. Suspended above the rocky coastline, its seawater infinity pool has been attracting Riviera society since 1939 and remains one of the most beautiful places on the Mediterranean to spend a summer afternoon.
