The hotel, tucked into a quiet pine tree–shaded property near the private beach of Belles Rives, is an Art Deco classic dating back to 1931. The ivy-covered structure with its cream-colored stucco façade, surrounded by a hammam and white marble pool, has been restored to achieve a sort of pared-down French elegance — the interior’s dramatic curves and whimsical details provide 1930s-style glamour, but the finishing touches are clean and modern. The Art Deco chic look continues throughout the hotel’s forty refurbished guest rooms, many which offer private terraces overlooking the sea and pine groves. Fine linens and internet capability are standard features; oversized suites also contain Jacuzzis. Mediterranean cuisine and a superb wine list await guests at Bistrot Terrasse, and the beach and tony boutiques of Juan-les-Pins are just a short stroll away
