Hotel Belles Rives - Juan Les Pins, France

In the very heart of the Riviera, the 1930*s socialites strolled past by day or danced to jazz by night at this palace immortalised by Scott Fitzgerald. Still with a celebrity clientele and blessed with its own private, sandy beach and its jetty, the hotel has been wonderfully revived. The original lustre of its Art Deco features have been lovingly restored, while freshly designed furnishings, carpets and drapes reflect both contemporary and 1930s design. The upper floors have a nautical theme inspired by the liner, Normandie, and every modern facility has been added to the balconies bedrooms and marble bathrooms. Period frescos in the bar, smoking room and restaurant form the background to an outstanding collection of art. In a country boasting some of the best cuisine in the world, La Passagere restaurant and terrace meets all expectations with superb wine and every Mediterranean delight. Luxury and refinement served with nostalgia.
