Stay at this historic institution, experience the irresistible enchantment of its lush grounds overlooking the Med, and join the ranks of the royals and stars who’ve made the same excellent choice over the past century.

Having benefitted from a dramatic facelift that's left it looking light, fresh and lovely, this grande dame is now delighting a new generation of discerning guests with its million-dollar looks, white walls, a cool mix of contemporary and antique furnishings and cutting-edge fittings. By day, there's a private funicular to whisk you down to Club Dauphin, nestled on the rocky coastline with its Olympic-sized pool, seafront cabanas, kids' club and club restaurant. And with a Michelin-starred chef now at the helm of the hotel's shiny new Le Cap restaurant, it's an even tastier prospect than ever.
