The true panache of the South of France.
By Iona Paulet
Imagine an orange sunset and you’re sipping an Aperol Spritz, while tanning on a sunbed: welcome to Antibes, South of France. Enter Hotel Cap Eden Roc, the iconic French Riviera hotel which has been attracting tourists and locals ever since its grand opening in 1870. Their heavenly setting above the rocks has captivated all at first sight. When Le Figaro’s founder, Auguste De Villemessant, first set eyes on ‘Le Cap’, he envisaged Villa Soleil, a place of inspiration for writers. Dashing Russian aristocrats Paul de Fersen, and then Alexis de Plestcheyeff, eventually brought his idea to life, and in 1870 Grand Hotel du Cap began its elegant history. It was visionary hotelier, Antoine Sella, who established a halcyon retreat for creative spirits and grand romantic encounters, the Riviera legend was born.
Take in the surroundings and you will see the seaside cabanas where Greta Garbo luxuriated, the sparkling blue waters where Kirk Douglas water-skied, the craggy rocks where Marc Chagall sketched and the iconic saltwater pool where countless stars have bathed.
Accommodation & Facilities
With 3 main buildings (Hotel du Cap, Eden-Roc Pavilion and Les Deux Fontaines Residence), the hotel offers 111 gorgeous guest rooms designed with French panache. 40 rooms, 68 suites and 3 villas, all with a warm and elegant design and uplifting views over the expansive parkland and the sea.

Dior Spa Eden-Roc
United by the same vision of discreet and authentic luxury, Dior and Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc share passions that have created bonds between them, which continue to grow stronger over time. Dior created a multi-facetted Spa, in a décor inspired by the rocks on which the hotel stands. The Spa extends into the lush heart of the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc grounds and invites guests to discover two settings bathed in the light of the French Riviera and the extraordinary azure tones of the sea. In a reflection of the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, the Dioriginels Rituals are inspired by the four elements that give this legendary place its unique character: the garden, the sea, the rocks and the sun. Created especially for Dior Spa Eden-Roc, these exclusive and entirely customizable treatments reveal the holistic dimension of the Dior Spa philosophy, to realign your energy, and to explore sensorial limits during an unforgettable experience.

Hotel Manager at Cap Eden Roc
A taste for travel often leads to a career in hospitality. Sophie Volant embarked on this career thanks to the many trips her parents took her on. A taste for other people is frequently the second deciding factor, and the sociability that characterizes Sophie Volant reinforced this choice. Proud of French excellence, it was to the Institut Paul Bocuse (now Institut Lyfe) that she turned. Her career landed her many roles at the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris, working with Philippe Perd, the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the New York Palace Hotel on Madison Avenue. Returning to Europe in 2007, she made a stopover in London, before landing on the French Riviera at the Hôtel du Cap Eden Roc, where she has remained ever since. Philippe Perd, who runs the hotel, saw the value in her when she worked at the Crillon.
“Luxury hospitality is a form of access to rarity, which can be the rarity of a magnificent and quite unique location, of a view, the rarity of a heritage, of course. But, essentially, it's also the rarity of know-how. Because you can have all the most beautiful views and the most beautiful materials in the world in a room, which is necessary in luxury, but you must also have the rarity of an experience.”
