Pont Alexandre III at dusk, ParisFrench Riviera · France
Luxury hotels on the French Riviera.
The palaces of the Cap, the pine coast of St-Tropez, and a hundred years of knowing exactly what summer is for.
The Brief
The Riviera invented the resort. It still runs the category.
Every beach destination on earth is quoting this coastline. The palaces between Antibes and Monaco wrote the rules of the grand summer hotel a century ago, and the remarkable thing is how few of them have lost the thread since.
Two Rivieras coexist. The Cap d'Antibes and Cap Ferrat side is old money in white linen, gardens running to private sea platforms. St-Tropez and Ramatuelle play the modern game, beach clubs, rosé and a harder guest list. Pick your century.
The Addresses
Seven houses of the eternal summer.
Insider Notes
Book the cabana logic, not just the room.
At the Cap houses, the day revolves around the seawater pool and its cabanas, allocated by tenure and relationship. At Pampelonne, the beach club booking is the actual social calendar. Solve these when you book the room, not on arrival, or you will spend the week negotiating.
The Riviera reads as one coastline with Monaco at its eastern hinge, twenty minutes from the Cap, and the water between is the finest day charter territory in France, mapped on our Mediterranean charter desk.
The Luxury.it Perspective
The Riviera does not chase the new. It lets the new spend a century proving itself, then sets it a table by the sea.
Concierge
The Cap in July is a returning guest economy.
