Hotel Belles Rives
During the 1920s, F. Scott Fitzgerald made his home along Cap d’Antibes in a seaside villa now known as Hotel Belles Rives. Such Jazz Age lineage adds to the shimmer of this freshly updated art deco-era hotel meant for luxury travelers. All 43 rooms feature French step-out balconies (book one with a direct sea view) and a mix of patterns and textures in one color palette. Relax on the private beach or over cocktails in the swanky Fitzgerald Bar, with its grand piano and leopard-print chairs. Then dine alfresco on the redesigned and Michelin-star La Passagère’s panoramic terrace while watching the mega-yachts bobble on the sea.
Waterskiing started on the Hotel Belles Rives pier in the 1930s, and today they have one of the most prestigious clubs in Europe.
