GREEN PARADISE<br />
The gardens at<br />
Grand-Hôtel<br />
du Cap-Ferrat.<br />
FROM CANNES TO THE CAP D’ANTIBES<br />
Rebranded as a Regent Hotel and part of the IHG Hotels<br />
& Resorts portfolio, the Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel<br />
(carltoncannes.com) is—following a laborious restoration—<br />
glowing, with the stunning revival of this beloved century-old<br />
icon, mixing Art Deco heritage and ultra-contemporary new<br />
wings behind the ornate Belle Époque façade. With a refurbed<br />
lobby, seven new studios and a penthouse, 37 residential<br />
suites, and an inner courtyard transformed into a fragrant<br />
landscaped peristyle and garden, there’s even more to do now<br />
without ever leaving the property. Highlights include the city’s<br />
largest infinity pool with mini-cabanas, a new uber-stylish bar,<br />
and Rüya, an Anatolian-style restaurant, plus a high-tech C<br />
Club fitness and spa complex with everything from boxing to<br />
Pilates. Or you can just lounge in your elegantly refurbed Decomeets-beach<br />
room, designed by Tristan Auer, and watch the<br />
sailboats go by.<br />
Right next door, the landmark Hôtel Martinez (hyatt.com),<br />
in the Unbound Collection by Hyatt, reopened with a dazzling<br />
multimillion-euro spruce-up that surprised Cannes Festival<br />
regulars, starting with the celebrated bar, entirely refurbished<br />
and an all-day outdoor eatery, Le Sud, on the ground level. But<br />
perhaps even more unique are the 16 Oasis suites, designed by<br />
Pierre-Yves Rochon, surrounded by walkways of lush greenery<br />
and tropical plants, plus a seven-treatment-room Spa by<br />
Carita. Add to that Rochon’s two new jaw-dropping penthouse<br />
suites, landscaped with olive trees and flowers, that span the<br />
entire 13,500 square-foot rooftop, named after French actress<br />
Isabelle Huppert and Cannes Fest notable Thierry Frémaux,<br />
with outstanding panoramic views.<br />
The Mondrian (accor.com), formerly the venerable Croisette<br />
landmark Grand Hotel, has gone resolutely modern: After a<br />
massive seven-month renovation, the hotel boasts all the<br />
fixings for a younger clientele who prefer a relaxed vibe to<br />
palace grandeur. And no wonder. The 75 spacious rooms are<br />
awash with Art Deco geometry and soft blues and cream,<br />
blending perfectly with the sea view from the terrace. Best<br />
bet: Up on the city’s highest rooftop, the Mondrian’s two<br />
TIMELESS TREASURE<br />
GRAND-HÔTEL DU CAP-FERRAT, A FOUR SEASONS HOTEL (fourseasons.com) is an artful mix of Belle Époque<br />
grandeur and sleek modernity, which is one reason why this stately landmark seaside palace, spread across 17<br />
acres of lush Mediterranean gardens on the Cap-Ferrat, continues to strike the perfect balance between old and<br />
new. In that same spirit of reinvention, the hotel’s latest addition to the property are two private villas, hidden<br />
away near the lighthouse: the gorgeously restored 1900s-built five-bedroom Villa Beauchamp, with a Cocteauinspired<br />
mosaic floor bathroom, and the more intimate Provençal-style two-bedroom Villa Clair Soleil. Expect<br />
stylish interiors designed by Sybille de Margerie, private pools with pine-shaded decks, plus all ultra-professional<br />
hotel services and comforts. Best bet: Work up an appetite at the iconic Club Dauphin’s seawater pool, then dive<br />
into a tantalizing buffet lunch, headed by Michelin-star chef Yoric Tièche and pastry chef wizard Pierre-Jean<br />
Quinonero.<br />
