"Perched on the French Riviera and described in the piece as a palatial, venerable institution, I picture eclectic, wealthy guests sipping frosty rosé, shooting daggers at one another, languishing through long snoozy lunches on the grounds, and flouncing around nearby Beaulieu-sur-Mer; it's also conveniently not far from Nice or Monaco for tempting day trips. That classic coastal setting makes Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat feel like the most sensible pick for a new White Lotus season, though Mike White's wish to move away from the 'crashing waves of rocks' vernacular raises the possibility that the sea here may be a little too on-the-nose for the show." - Charlie Hobbs
