EXPERIENCE
Housed in a pristine white mansion at the very tip of the Cap-Ferrat peninsula on the French Riviera, Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat respects the grandeur of the past and celebrates the beginning of a new era. The hotel is the focal point within a 14-acre private estate of fragrant pines and floral which face the Mediterranean. Internationally acclaimed designer Pierre-Yves Rochon lead the design in all public areas, guest rooms and suites - this property is certainly impressive.

Boasting beautiful bay windows overlooking the gardens and sea, La Veranda restaurant is a new all day dining restaurant offering casual and light meals. The Michelin starred gourmet restaurant Le Cap, is another impressive restaurant in great gastronomic tradition, featuring dishes of extraordinary flavors. The chef's creations are inventive, using the best ingredients and influences of the Provence region. The indoor/outdoor dining experience this restaurant enjoys a beautiful terrace with breathtaking sea views. Guests can also enjoy the bar on the entrance level, a sophisticated area perfect for a drink and quiet conversation. Another feature of the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat is that it holds one of the world's most spectacular wine collections, including countless vintage bottles dating back to even as far as 1799.
The spa offers spacious facilities that include an indoor swimming pool, six lavishly appointed treatment rooms including a double deluxe cabin with a private balneo, men's and women's private steam rooms and saunas, a sensorial shower and a gym with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment.

Club Dauphin, situated on the rocky shoreline and accessible by a private funicular, features an Olympic sized heated seawater infinity pool with a brilliant blue backdrop of the Mediterranean. Club Dauphin serves a lunchtime menu with Mediterranean flavors as well. Each year, a Sculpture Garden - an outdoor exhibition of sculptures by a variety of acclaimed artists - contributes to the beauty of the hotel and surrounding landscape and is an inspiration for guests who return each year to discover a new exhibition.
