Location
An Ode to light
The Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc is without
doubt one of Europe’s most exquisite
properties. Situated at the furthest tip of Cap
d’Antibes in a park of 22.5 acres, the superb
Napoleon III building is a legendary haven .
This temple form the 18 th century is located
between Cannes and Nice, the old fortified
town of Antibes and the lively
neighbourhood of Juan-Les-Pins,
Its pinewood with its fragrance and a
romantic rose-garden flanks a majestic alley
leading to the Pavilion Eden-Roc, built on a
terrace above the sea: its spectacular infinity
pool is, in itself, a living record of indelible
memories.
Ideally situated at the heart of the Côte
d'Azur, only 20 minutes from the Nice Côte
d’Azur International Airport, 15 minutes
from Cannes, the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc
enjoys easy access to all these towns by sea,
thanks to its private landing-stage.
The surrounding area…
By car or boat, the entire
Mediterranean coast unfurls from
Saint-Tropez to San Remo and the
Riviera from the Hotel du Cap-Eden-
Roc.
Following in the footsteps of great
artists, we find among many others:
The Rosary Chapel decorated by
Matisse in Vence, Museums dedicated
to Picasso (Antibes), Fernand Léger
(Biot), Chagall and Matisse (Nice), the
legendary village of Saint-Paul-de-
Vence, its art-galleries and the Maeght
Fondation, Vence with its artists’
studios, Grasse, capital of the perfume
industry, Biot and its glass factory
Vallauris and its ceramics, Eze Village
and its medieval eagle’s nest...
Cultural discoveries but also wine
tastings, as well as a variety of culinary
specialities inspired by different areas.

Memories
A legendary hotel
Crowned heads, politicians, artists,
renowned intellectuals, businessmen, movie
stars… In a century-and-a-half, the Hôtel du
Cap-Eden-Roc became a legendary refuge
whose history intermingles with that of
many celebrities from all four corners of the
world.
Built in 1870 by the founder of Le Figaro,
Auguste de Villemessant, the former « Villa
Soleil » as it was then called, was initially
intended to play host to writers in search of
inspiration. But the project was soon
abandoned, and the villa became a luxury
hotel.
Years went by shrouded in the mists of a
motley clientele, until the inauguration of
the Paris-Marseille-Menton railway in
1869 and the appearance of luxury trains
such as the Saint-Petersbourg-Vienna-
Cannes-Nice, which led to the emergence of
a « Côte d'Azur » described by Elysée Reclus
as « the future residence of all of Europe ».
However, it was only in 1887, with the
arrival of Antoine Sella, a highly imaginative
hotelier from Piedmont, that the elegant
building in pure Napoleon III style was first
baptised « Hotel du Cap ».
Brimming with innovative ideas, Mr Sella
decided to re launch the establishment
playing the ace of summer holidays. He was
a man of vision, Antoine Sella. And since
then, the Hotel du Cap has continued to
shine...
In 1914, a sea-water pool was hollowed
out of the basalt rock, the Eden Roc
pavilion was built, followed by the
famous « cabanas » facing the
Mediterranean sea.
The ‘fifties and ’sixties literally bore
witness to the « landing » of the
world’s elite – often by sea – in a very
eclectic parade from the Kennedy
familly to the Greek shipbuilder
Niarkos, the Duke and Duchess of
Windsor, Marlene Dietrich,
Mr Hennessy, Eddie Constantine, Scott
Fitzgerald arm-in-arm with his
beautiful Zelda, Ernest Hemingway
and even Nobel Prize winner George
Bernard Shaw, all seeking their share
of the dream : luxury in all simplicity.
Succeeding his father, André Sella held
the flag up high until 1970, before
handing it over to Jean-Claude
Irondelle who after a career of 50
years, entrusted this precious « rock of
paradise » in 2005 to Philippe Perd,
today Managing Director of the Hotel
du Cap-Eden-Roc and the Château
Saint-Martin & Spa in Vence.

Saga
The Spirit of the Oetker Collection Masterpiece Hotels
In 1891, a young chemist from Bielefeld in
Germany, Doctor August Oetker, invented
the chemical yeast...
The immediate success of this self-raising
powder gave birth to a genuine industry
which gradually spread abroad and, thanks
to important innovations, challenged the
European food industry.
Four generations later, the original small
home industry had become an influential
worldwide group with diverse sectors of
activity, naturally including foodstuffs but
also wines and spirits, maritime freight
and… luxury hotels.
The Oetker family entered this last field in
1941 with the acquisition of its first
establishment: Brenner’s Park Hôtel & Spa in
Baden-Baden.
Then, in 1964, Maja and Rudolf Oetker
fall for the « Fitzgeraldian » charm of
the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes:
« its impeccable linen, impressive
wine-cellar and the sparkling old
kitchen with its copper saucepans »,
said Maja Oetker in François Simon’s
book (“Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc”,
Editions Assouline).
They had to wait five years before they
could acquire and adapt this legendary
hotel, already frequented by the elite,
to the necessities of modern comfort.
1978 : They also took over the Hotel Le
Bristol in Paris, as well as the Park
Hotel Vitznau in Switzerland, in 1980,
that has been sold at the beginning of
the year 2009 to the group Püringer,
and the Château Saint-Martin in 1994,
now known as the Château Saint-
Martin & Spa.
The soul of each hotel, affectionately
preserved, has thus produced a
« collection » of prestigious properties
of which the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc,
an eternal elder brother, shines as their
greatest pride.

Gastronomy
A sublime art of living
From the garden to the table, from the pool to the bar, the brilliant trilogy at the Hotel du
Cap-Eden-Roc – colours, scents, flavours – enchants a loyal clientele used to regularity, to
the genuine smiles of a top-notch staff and tiny details which make all the difference...
In tandem with talented pastry chef Lilian Bonnefoi since 1995, elected best pastry chef of
the Côte d’Azur in January 2008, Arnaud Poëtte manages the kitchens of this palace of the
French Riviera.
Restaurant Eden-Roc
In this gastronomic restaurant between sky and sea, surveying
the Mediterranean and the Lérins Islands, guests appreciate
essential specialities in a shimmering atmosphere : fillets of red
mullet fried “à l’Antiboise” or wild seabass “façon Eden-Roc”
with basil and a mousseline of fennel.
Grill Eden-Roc
Offering a bar-lounge atmosphere, the Grill was entirely renovated
in 2007. With changing lights that reflect the colours of sunsets and
the pool, it offers a menu featuring grill and a Sushi-Bar.
Piano-Bar « La Rotonde »
Overlooking the Pavillon Eden-Roc with its « trompe l’œil »
decors, the famous Rotonde, from now on a piano-bar, proposes
cocktails in a warm and elegant ambiance.
Bar « Le Bellini »
With its Corinthian stone columns and sculpted coats-of-arms, this is
« THE » meeting-point, a Hollywood-style stage for stolen hours on
everyone’s schedule.

Head Chef, Arnaud Poëtte
« Here, we don’t merely content ourselves with satisfying the client,
The caress of the sun along the shores of
Antibes inspire Arnaud Poëtte to create a
cheerful and elaborate cuisine based on
absolute respect of natural ingredients, a
deep sense of basics and spontaneous
creativity .
With his generous smile and the
personality of a demanding « pater
familias » who supervises a kitchen of 45
people as if they were family, Arnaud
Poëtte is one of those outstanding chefs
whose careers last because they enjoy
giving back what they have received.
Born in Soissons, in a family from Picardy ,
he began his career by winning an
encouraging reward – France’s Best
Apprentice Cook, in 1977 –
From 1977 to 1982, he alternated his first
« seasons » between Loire-Atlantique and
Haute Savoie -Hôtel Masson, Le Croisic;
Hôtel La Montagne in La Clusaz, Hôtel Le
Portetta in Courchevel - first as assistant
and then as first assistant sauce-cook at
the Hôtel Hermitage in La Baule.
we offer him happiness... »
Summer 1983 , he turned up in front of the
majestic gate of the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-
Roc.
Arnaud Poëtte then struck anchor on the
« Rock of Paradise », returning every
summer to assume different posts and
accepting the most incredible culinary
challenges, untill he took the toque in 1992,
becoming chef des cuisines at the Hôtel du
Cap-Eden-Roc.
Embarking on a great human adventure,
this long-haul captain of the kitchens has
delighted the palates of the world’s
celebrities for the past 27 years.
Publication of a recipe book
While fondly juggling between the habits
and sometimes unexpected desires of a
demanding elite, Arnaud Poëtte has
become the chef who makes everything
possible. You can discover his recipes
of the stars in a book published by
Assouline, written by François Simon:
« Cuisine and cravings of the
Stars ».

Pastry Chef, Lilian Bonnefoi
At the age of 9, Lilian Bonnefoi was
already helping his uncle to embellish the
tables of the Troisgros Brothers !
Born in Roanne, he grew up in the cradle
of high gastronomy. Often scolded for
being an « enfant terrible » not too keen to
get down to his studies, he found his
vocation as a teenager by opting for a CAP
qualification in pastry-making that showed
him to be dedicated, creative and
determined.
After pocketing his « brevet de maîtrise »,
he joined the Troisgros kitchen brigade in
1990 as “chef de partie”, then “sous-chef
pâtissier”, up until 1992.
This unique experience opened his eyes to
the outside world – he travelled as far as
the United States – and served as a
springboard enabling him to become
manager of the pastry-making service at
the prestigious Hôtel Guanahany at Saint-
Barthélémy.
1996: his meeting with Arnaud Poëtte, chef
at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, marked a
turning-point in his career and the start of
a relationship based on real complicity.
The two men exchange ideas, combine
their talents, share fundamental values and
accompany each other in a mission in
search of excellence which is constantly
reviewed.
Consecrated at the age of 38 as Best Pastry
Chef on the Côte d’Azur, in January 2008,
Lilian Bonnefoi has a gift for always
pushing back established limits to
sublimate sugar like a sculptor, combine
matter and colours like a poet, invent new
accords and awaken gustatory souvenirs
from our childhood days.
Active member of the APRECA –
« Association des Pâtissiers de Restaurants
de la Côte d’Azur » –, Liliane Bonnefoi
promotes the art of pastry-making in its
entirety through events, encounters,
courses abroad, inspired by wizards such
as Gaston Lenôtre, Pierre Hermé or, closer
to his style, Christophe Michalak, head
pastry chef at the Plaza Athénée (3
Michelin stars) and Stéphane Klein,
unrivalled master in the art of sugar, for
whom he wrote the preface for the book
« Voyage en sucre d’art ».
Publication of a recipe book
Always ready to shate his « secrets », he
has published some of his best recipes in
the book « Cuisine and cravings of the
Stars » (Editions Assouline).

Head sommelier, Xavier Dinet
Jealously watching over the cellar of the gourmet restaurant « Eden-Roc » since 2006, there
are some of those destinies that are written in the story of a man from his childhood…
Only aged of 6 years old, it’s in following the footsteps of his brother and sister, that Xavier
Dinet learned the various positions in restoration and developped over the years an
endless passion for oenology.
Starting his career at 15 years old as an « apprenti de salle » at the Château de Beaulieu in
Joué-les-Tours, he climbed the ladder one by one to become at 18 « commis sommelier » in
the Relais & Châteaux of « La Côte Saint-Jacques ».
Called at 21 to become the « sommelier » of the highly reputed gourmet restaurant of the
Hôtel Le Bristol in Paris, he will however leave, 4 years after, the french capital to join the
French Riviera and the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc… finally accessing to the coveted position
of « chef sommelier » in the gourmet restaurant « Eden-Roc ».
With a card counting more than 585 references, the favorites of this young chef sommelier
speak for fine, elegant and fruity wines like the Saint-Romain 2006 – Domaine Philippe
Colin Chardonnay, the Côte de Provence La Londe – Domaine Château les Valentine 2008
or the Côte de Provence Columelle 2004 – Domaine Richeaume.

Background of the Managing Director,
Mr. Philippe Perd
Born in Marseille in 1965, Philippe Perd
began his career in the fine town of Orange
as a Commis in the kitchens of the
restaurant « Le Forum », already honing
his keen curiosity and real passion for
French gastronomy.He then obtained a
Diploma in Management from the I.U.T. in
Montpellier

embarking on his training in reception
management at the Connaught Hotel in
London. He then worked in the Savoy

May 2001 to run the Château Saint-Martin
& Spa on the hills above Vence as General
Manager, until October, 2005.
He then took over management of the
unique and prestigious Hotel du Cap-
Eden-Roc in Antibes.
The challenge involved modernising the
premises without detracting from the
myth, inspiring creativity on the part of the
teams and awakening their sense of
responsibility, without overthrowing the
habits of an extremely loyal clientele.
Owned by the Oetker family, the most
discreet of the Riviera’s palace hotels then
saw its areas renovated always respecting
the authenticity and past.
July 2007 , the Oetker Group entrusted
him jointly, and for the second time, with
the management of the Château Saint-
Martin & Spa with the aim of developing
a real synergy between these two
flagships of the hotel industry. Philippe
Perd thus became managing director of the
the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes and
the Château Saint-Martin & Spa in Vence.

graduated from Harvard Business School
with the Advanced Management Program .
October 2011, Philippe Perd has been

Background of the Resident Manager,
Mr. Laurent Van Hoegaerden
He is one of those people one doesn’t
notice immediately: they, on the other
hand, see absolutely everything…
His attention to detail, his obsession with
impeccable service drive him discreetly
pacing behind the scenes for more than 20
years at the top end of the hotel sector.
Born in 1960 in Picardy, Laurent Van
Hoegaerden entered the restaurant trade at
the age of 15 by doing summer jobs that
took him to the “Lycée Technique Hotelier
de Paris Plage” (Le Touquet).
Three years later, he managed to get his
first experience in Cannes (Hôtel Mont
Fleuri), discovered the festival atmosphere
of the Croisette and did successive
apprenticeships in the kitchens as:
“commis”, “demi-chef”…
In 1981, he returned to Paris for the
opening of the Nova Park Elysées where
he was “maître d’hôtel. He gained
invaluable professional experience which
launched him to the position of restaurant
manager at the Hôtel du Louvre (Groupe
Concorde) from 1985 to 1987.
Over the next five years, he was in charge
to supervise the restaurant two sister
hotels – the Hotel Balzac and Hotel De
Vigny –
From 1992 to 1993, a detour through
Florida and Quebec took him far from
France, the time it took to launch a new
Italian chain of gastronomic restaurants .
Returned from the far side of the
Atlantic, he enters into the prestigious
circuit of the Hotel Crillon in Paris.
First restaurant manager with chef
Christian Constant, he became Food &
beverage director six years later, then
resident manager… He thus worked
alongside chefs Dominique Bouchet and
Jean François Piège until Philippe Perd,
newly appointed general director of the
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, called on him to
join the team on the shores of Cap
d’Antibes.
Responsible since 2006 for the food and
beverage at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc,
Laurent Van Hoegaerden was promoted
to the position of resident manager at
the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc last

d’Antibes. Anatole France, winner of the
Nobel Prize for literature in 1921, was one
of its most fervent and regular customers.
Following the creation of the pool and the
installation of bungalows, rapidly baptised
« Cabanes », Eden Roc became the hotel’s
restaurant.
