Perched directly at the water’s edge in Cap d’Antibes, Hôtel Belles Rives is one of the most iconic seaside retreats on the French Riviera. Once the private villa of F. Scott Fitzgerald, this historic property has been transformed into a five-star hotel that perfectly blends Art Deco elegance, timeless glamour, and Mediterranean ease.
With just 43 rooms and suites, each offering sea views from a private balcony or terrace, the hotel is an intimate escape rooted in refined living. The interiors echo the golden age of the Riviera, while offering all the modern comforts for today’s discerning traveler. A stay here is not just a holiday—it’s a chance to experience a piece of Riviera history.
The hotel’s private Belles Rives Beach Club is a Riviera favorite, where striped parasols, turquoise waters, and relaxed sophistication set the tone. From lounging on a sunbed to enjoying lunch by the sea, the beach experience here is effortlessly chic. Guests can also indulge in water sports, including water-skiing—a sport said to have been born right on this very shore.
Gastronomy plays a central role at Belles Rives. The Michelin-starred La Passagère delivers a fine dining experience led by Chef Aurélien Véquaud, combining fresh Mediterranean flavors with artistic presentation. For a more relaxed atmosphere, La Plage Belles Rives invites guests to dine with their feet in the sand, while enjoying Riviera classics from lunch into sunset.
Cocktail lovers will feel at home at the Fitzgerald Bar, where the spirit of the Jazz Age lives on in a glamorous Art Deco setting. For guests arriving by sea, the hotel’s private dock and yacht concierge make access effortless, with options for provisioning, transfers, and chartered excursions.
From elegant suites and beachfront dining to unmatched Riviera charm, Hôtel Belles Rives offers an experience that feels both exclusive and authentic—a timeless invitation to live beautifully by the sea.
