Since 1870, the white-rendered villa at the tip of Cap d'Antibes has drawn writers, painters, and American expatriates to what became, in F. Scott Fitzgerald's imagination, the very definition of Riviera glamour. Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc, an Oetker Collection property, sits within eleven hectares of stone pine and Mediterranean garden, its Belle Époque main building — all mansard rooflines and symmetrical shuttered facades visible in the aerial view above — stepping down through terraced grounds to the landmark pavilion that clings directly to the limestone promontory above the sea. The seawater pool carved into the rock, flanked by white parasols and timber-railed terracing, has remained essentially unchanged since the 1914 construction of the Eden-Roc pavilion itself. A recent interior refresh brought designer india mahdavi's sensibility to the restaurant spaces, where curved banquettes upholstered in dusty blue and terracotta, warm oak floors, and a graphic patterned feature wall in cobalt and yellow animate a dining room whose floor-to-ceiling glazing frames the Mediterranean at dusk. Guest rooms across the two buildings balance their different registers with confidence: the villa rooms carry pale grey grasscloth walls, Art Deco pendant lights, Morris-print textured bedcovers, and gilt-framed botanical watercolours, while the pavilion rooms lean into a cleaner coastal idiom — sage-green four-poster frames, louvered shutters, seagrass carpet, and full-width glazed doors opening directly onto the Antibes bay.
