A Mediterranean Belle Époque Sanctuary
Dating from the dawn of the twentieth century, the 5-star Hotel Royal-Riviera presides over the shimmering waters of the Mediterranean on the legendary peninsula of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Harmoniously combining the secluded warmth and residential intimacy of a private seaside villa with the neoclassical glamour and pedigree of a grand Riviera palace, this 94-room enclave is a celebrated member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
Poised at the gateway to Cap Ferrat, just 15 minutes from both Nice and the Principality of Monaco, Royal-Riviera enjoys an enchanting vantage point directly overlooking the Baie des Fourmis and the celebrated Hellenic masterpiece Villa Kérylos. Here, guests unwind amidst lush subtropical gardens landscaped by Jean Mus, relax on the hotel's rare private sandy beach, and savor Michelin-caliber cuisine while listening to the gentle lapping of Mediterranean waves.
