See life through rose-colored glasses at the Cap d’Antibes Beach Hotel
Open since spring 2023, this boutique hotel has quickly established itself as one of the leading establishments on the French Riviera, thanks both to the minimalist decor of its 35 rooms and its beach-inspired cuisine by Assaf Granit.
Dressed all in pink, the Cap d’Antibes Beach Hotel draws inspiration from Miami
Was it a nod to Miami or Palm Springs that inspired Belgian architect Bernard Dubois? For here, pink takes center stage—a striking pastel pink that serves as the signature of this hotel perched on the Mediterranean coast, right on the water’s edge with direct access to the beach, nestled between the ports of Gallice and Crouton, and offering breathtaking views of the Cap d’Antibes.
Taking up the torch from what was previously known as “La maison des pêcheurs,” the Cap d’Antibes Beach Hotel, with its bright colors and structuring geometric forms, has breathed new life into this once-neglected hotel between Cannes and Antibes, now an iconic destination on the French Riviera.
35 rooms and suites face the sea, featuring spacious bathrooms clad entirely in pink marble to stay true to the Californian theme. Comfort, a blend of mineral and natural materials, and linear structures make this seaside experience memorable in a unique natural setting, between the ports of Gallice and Crouton.
Les Pêcheurs, a restaurant that has been an institution since the 1940s, has also regained its former glory, with a menu curated by Chef Nicolas Rondelli based on the day’s catch and fresh seafood deliveries.
The polished mahogany walls complement the rust-colored marble floors, and behind the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the reflections on the water create a breathtaking spectacle every evening.
During the day, BABA, the hotel’s open-air restaurant, led by Chef Assaf Granit and his team, offers Mediterranean cuisine around the rotunda bar, whose festive and joyful atmosphere could rival that of Saint-Tropez.
And to truly unwind, Holidermie massages and morning yoga classes by Le Tigre Yoga feature the downward-facing dog pose, facing the sea with the sound of the waves.
A charming, well-designed hotel that can hold its head high.
Rates starting at €505 per night
