The glistening Mediterranean Sea is omnipresent at this hotel on France’s Cap-Ferrat peninsula, the turn-of-the century playground for the royal, rich, and famous, which remains an exclusive getaway. Built in 1904, it blends palace grandeur with the intimacy of a boutique property, plus Art Deco and Neo-Hellenic design details and stunning landscaped gardens by Jean Mus. The expansive deck is nestled in the heart of these aromatic gardens, a tranquil spot for afternoon tea or evening cocktails, while true relaxation is waiting just few steps from the main building at the hotel’s private beach. Here a host of water sports are available. With the very best of the seasons’ produce and bounty from the Mediterranean, La Table du Royal offers the French gourmet experience. At the edge of the pool and overlooking the famous Baie des Fourmis, the Jasmin Grill & Lounge proposes a culinary odyssey in a relaxed atmosphere.
