Intercontinental Carlton Cannes

A truly elegant hotel with grandiose architecture and contemporary interiors that manage to maintain the old-world charm.

The striking modernist architecture of The Maybourne Riviera emerges from the rocky peninsula of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin as if forging its way into the glistening Mediterranean Sea. The hotel is perfectly positioned between Menton and Monaco, with views across warm terracotta rooftops, olive groves and citrus trees, out to the azure horizon.Step inside and you’ll find unique spaces created by celebrated designers and architects, inspired by the movement of the sea, the verdant landscape and the spectacular views. There are 69 rooms at the Maybourne, including 29 suites, across 14 different categories. The furniture, decor and design of all the rooms showcases the impeccable modernist style. Step out onto your private terrace as the sun slowly sets over the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. When it comes to dining, world-renowned chefs Mauro Colagreco and Jean-Georges Vongerichten have been inspired by the rhythms of the land and sea. There are several dining options, including fine dining through to relaxed, chic poolside snacks and light meals. Two hotel bars are devoted to capturing the essence of the perfect sundowner atmosphere with beautiful blends of cocktails, fine wines and champagne.

You’ll find Le Domaine du Mas de Pierre set in the beautiful countryside of Provence near the ramparts of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Extensive renovations have seen the hotel transformed into a relaxed and friendly luxurious resort surrounded by eight hectares of garden. The 76 rooms and suites have private outdoor areas and are set across nine authentic Provençal bastides or manor houses.

Gastronomic restaurant La Table de Pierre opens out onto the gardens and Chef Emmanuel Lehrer’s menu celebrates the generosity of nature through the seasons. Located beside the pool Bistrot Lis Orto is open for lunch and dinner with cross-generational Southern French-inspired cuisine created using regional produce.

Set away from the bastides you’ll discover the lagoon with its Provençal rock mountain border. Find a deckchair on the sandy beach or in the water and relax by a soothing water jet. Take that focus on relaxation and rejuvenation further with various treatments at the spa, spend time in the fitness room and indoor swimming pool, and make use of the Jacuzzi, hammam, salt and herbal saunas and the snow cave.

Located on a gentle hill overlooking the Mediterranean, the Villa Belrose is a beautiful hotel just a short drive from the town of Saint Tropez.

With just 40 rooms and a real emphasis on service, Villa Belrose has a boutique feel to it. Rooms and suites are decorated in soft, muted tones and enjoy sea or garden views.

From the restaurant terrace you can enjoy one of the best views over the Bay of Saint Tropez while enjoying Mediterranean cuisine shaped by Italian influences. Chef Pietro Volontè received a Michelin star for his innovative and impeccably presented cuisine. There is also the option to dine poolside and enjoy a drink in the lobby bar.

Villa Belrose features a large swimming pool with sun terrace that look out over the sea, and there is an extensive spa menu for those looking to totally switch off.
