"This 1904-built grande dame of the Cote d’Azur has a sublime seaside location, and one of the very few private beaches on the exclusive Cap Ferrat. With spectacular views over the Baie des Fourmis, the hotel has lush gardens of towering palms, sunny terraces and a vast heated pool, open year-round. Boat hire, water-skiing, parasailing or jet-skiing are all available right on the hotel’s sandy beach; massages are excellent in the petite spa, and the fine-dining restaurant serves breakfast and dinner overlooking the ocean.
