Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat
The Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel, is a luxury five-star resort on the French Riviera in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. It holds the Palace de France distinction (2011) and a 3-key rating from the Michelin Guide (2024). The hotel sits at the tip of the Cap-Ferrat peninsula, overlooking the sea.
Cap-Ferrat began as wild coastline. In the late 1800s, King Leopold II bought much of the land, and a developer started building the hotel on six and a half hectares. Construction began in 1908 with two wings, a loggia dining room, and the Rotonde. After changing hands a few times, the hotel hosted royalty, artists, and celebrities, and it served as a hospital during World War I.
From 2007 to 2009, the hotel was expanded with a modern addition by Luc Svetchine, adding 16 rooms and eight suites with private pools, a large spa, new garden rooms, and an underground car park. Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts began managing the property on May 8, 2015, and the hotel was renamed Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel.
Today the property has 74 rooms (including 24 suites and a penthouse) and a 5,500-square-foot presidential suite, the Villa Rose-Pierre with sea views. Guests can dine at Le Cap (Michelin 1 star), La Véranda on the terrace, or the Club Dauphin by the pool. The hotel also houses a wine collection and hosts the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat Music Festival, directed by Michael Desjardins. The Rotonde, designed by Gustave Eiffel, offers excellent acoustics for a wide range of concerts.
