Hotel Belles Rives

Graciously poised above the sparkling shores of the Mediterranean, Hôtel Belles-Rives is a legendary Art Deco mansion with sweeping sea views from rooms with impressive balconies. Expect a unique experience where the mantra is ‘subtle extravagance’ with culture, sports, relaxation and great food all part of the daily mix. The former home of Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, the Hôtel Belles-Rives’ bold Art Deco styling and blue striped awnings has a nostalgic ring reflecting the riotous glamour of that heady era. Today, time spent on the private beach and balmy evenings in the piano bar and dining by the water’s edge recreates the chic elegance of those bygone days. Head to the Hôtel…

During the 1920s, F. Scott Fitzgerald made his home on Cap d'Antibes in a seaside villa now known as Hotel Belles Rives. Such Jazz Age lineage adds to the shimmer of this renovated art deco-era hotel meant for luxury travelers. All 43 rooms feature French step-out balconies (book one with a direct sea view). Relax on the private beach or over cocktails in the swanky Fitzgerald Bar with its grand piano and leopard-print chairs. Then pamper yourself in the brand-new Beauty Room by Valmont® before a dinner on the redesigned and Michelin-starred La Passagère's panoramic terrace while watching the mega-yachts bob on the sea.
