"An iconic, independent grand dame on Nice’s seafront, this maximalist, extremely artsy hotel—its late owner Jeanne Augier filled rooms and salons with some 6,000 pieces, including Picassos and Chagalls—would make a perfect side-trip foil: I can see a couple of characters absconding from the primary resort to hole up here, its riotous personality standing in vivid contrast to the more restrained Four Seasons palette; it’s even where Mike White was reportedly spotted staying this summer, and it’s only a 27-minute coastal drive from Cap-Ferrat." - Charlie Hobbs
