Grand-Hôtel Du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel

FRANCE

Just a short drive from Nice airport, on arrival, the hotel’s grand gates swing open, welcoming you into a world of luxury. Step into the foyer, and enter into a realm of white marble and beautiful chandeliers.

Perched on the tip of the Cap Ferrat peninsula, wrapped in six hectares of tropical gardens, the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat gazes out across the Mediterranean. An iconic Four Seasons resort on the French Riviera, this legendary white palace has been luring dreamers and stars since the days of La Belle Époque, that golden age of art, culture and champagne optimism…

A Tale of Two Districts

The Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat is split into two distinct, but equally fantastic districts. On one side, a sleek modern enclave wrapped in tropical greenery, on the other, a storied belle époque beauty where history lingers in every detail.

The heritage building embodies that timeless chic of the French Riviera. From the rooms, the Mediterranean stretches wide in a glittering sweep. In summer, the view comes alive with helicopters dipping low, superyachts gliding across the bay, and the buzz of the Côte d’Azur unfolding below.

One-bedroom suites here are large with their crisp white walls softened with calming shades of sea-glass blue and mint. If you’re lucky enough to get a sea view room, opening the windows while getting ready for your evening is a must. The melodies of the live jazz band below drift up with the breeze, teasing the night about to unfold.

In the other district lies Les Terrasses du Cap, a serene sanctuary nestled within lush gardens. The rooms feel fresh and contemporary, each opening onto generous balconies or private infinity pools.

A Riviera Feast at Le Cap

Le Cap is the crowning jewel of the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat. Michelin-starred chef Yoric Tièche reimagines Provençal and Mediterranean classics, celebrating the freshest ingredients, many picked straight from the hotel’s own gardens.

The estate’s 500-square-metre permaculture garden supplies the kitchens with seasonal produce, while local fishermen bring in the daily catch from the Côte d’Azur’s waters. It’s factors like this that earned the resort the Green Key label in 2025, a rare recognition in France dedicated to sustainable tourism and dining.

For a more relaxed vibe, La Véranda beckons with the atmosphere of a chic Riviera bistro. Dine overlooking the gardens and sea under a canopy of fairytale trees. Every plate comes with the chance to dive into one of France’s finest wine lists with a collection spanning more than 1,200 bottles!

Bond Tunnels and Saltwater Swims

Club Dauphin, the hotel’s chic poolside hub, also serves fresh Mediterranean bites that taste even better after a dip. To reach it, guests glide down the cliffside in a glass cablecar, an arrival as cinematic as the setting itself. The prize at the bottom is the hotel’s legendary saltwater pool, carved into the rock in 1939 and still considered one of the most spectacular swims in the world.

The spa is another Riviera ritual. Step through a Bond-worthy tunnel lined with photographs and signatures of illustrious past guests, including Liza Minnelli, Winston Churchill, and 007 himself, Roger Moore. Enter the spa for a massage, facial, or a quiet moment in the thermal suite.

To linger at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat is to step into a Riviera dream that has been captivating travellers for more than a century. Between its Belle Époque heritage and modern sanctuary, Michelin-starred dining and legendary saltwater pool, the hotel balances old-world glamour with contemporary ease. Whether you come for the history, the indulgence, or simply the view, this white palace on the peninsula has a way of making you never want to leave.
