The South of France Has a New Luxury Hotel — With Panoramic Views of the Mediterranean Sea and Southern Alps

"Situated on the top floor and helmed by Portuguese chef Olivier da Costa, this buzzy bar-restaurant has drawn locals and hotel guests alike with inventive, Niçois-inspired fare and cocktails. Standouts on the drinks menu include a playful “socca sour” (bourbon with aquafaba and smoky paprika syrup), while the kitchen reimagines regional classics — les petits farcis Niçois on roasted bone marrow, panisse accompanied by black garlic and Menton lemon, and a creative mix of sushi and ceviche tacos — paired with a house white crafted from local rolle (vermentino) and chardonnay." - Chrissie McClatchie Chrissie McClatchie Chrissie McClatchie writes about travel, wine, and yachting from her home on the Côte d’Azur, where she has lived for nearly two decades.
