I’ll be There

Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc

Perched on the rocky coastline of Cap d’Antibes, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc has symbolized the elegance and glamour of the French Riviera for more than 150 years. Consistently ranked among the world’s finest hotels, it has become an enduring destination for artists, writers, royalty, and international celebrities.

The hotel’s rich cultural legacy is closely connected with some of the twentieth century’s greatest creative minds. F. Scott Fitzgerald, inspired by his stays on the Riviera, immortalized the hotel as the Hôtel des Étrangers in his classic novel Tender Is the Night. Ernest Hemingway was among its distinguished literary visitors, while Marc Chagall contributed decorative murals to the hotel’s seaside cabanas in the 1960s.

Over the decades, Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc has welcomed an extraordinary collection of guests, including the Kennedy family, Marlene Dietrich, Orson Welles, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, Elizabeth Taylor, and Richard Burton. Each spring, during the Cannes Film Festival, the hotel becomes one of the world’s most celebrated gathering places for filmmakers, actors, and cultural icons.

Its guest book continues to read like a who’s who of contemporary culture, featuring names such as Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, LeBron James, Tim Burton, Mick Jagger, Bruce Willis, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, Reese Witherspoon, Colin Firth, Naomi Watts, Karl Lagerfeld, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, Robert Pattinson, and Sacha Baron Cohen.

Today, Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc remains not only one of the world’s most prestigious hotels, but also a timeless symbol of Riviera beauty, artistic inspiration, and refined European luxury.

While staying at Cap d’Antibes in September 2024, Evgeny Lushpin was inspired to create this now-celebrated view.
