Stay at the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo for an opulent experience. With rooms overlooking the Mediterranean and a wine cellar that houses over 350,000 bottles, it's a destination within a destination. Guests enjoy Michelin-starred dining, world-class service, and exclusive spa treatments.

Glamour and Grace in Saint-Tropez
Saint-Tropez became a global icon when Brigitte Bardot brought its beauty to the big screen. Today, it remains a haven for the stylish and wealthy. Cobblestone streets lead to designer boutiques, and the harbour is lined with mega-yachts.
The Cheval Blanc St-Tropez is a refined retreat that blends Provencal charm with modern elegance. Nestled in pine trees along the coast, the hotel offers private beach access, a Guerlain spa, and bespoke concierge services that cater to every whim.
Thinking of staying in Saint-Tropez? Let us show you the offers we have available, from complimentary nights to exclusive beach access packages.
The Art of Leisure in Cannes
Cannes is more than the film festival. It's a lifestyle. Think waterfront dinners, five-star service, and people-watching from private terraces. It's the kind of place where even doing nothing feels like a luxury.
The Hotel Barrière Le Majestic is steps from La Croisette and offers sweeping sea views and exceptional service. Guests can enjoy a private beach, the My Blend by Clarins spa, and even an on-site cinema for private screenings.
We work closely with leading hotels in Cannes to offer added-value benefits, upgrades and insider experiences that make your stay truly memorable.
Quiet Beauty in Villefranche-sur-Mer
Looking for something more low-key? Villefranche-sur-Mer offers a quieter Riviera experience. With its colourful waterfront, sheltered bay, and slower pace, it’s ideal for relaxed luxury holidays to the French Riviera.
Check into Welcome Hotel, which sits right on the harbour. Rooms come with balconies over the sea, and the hotel’s long-standing reputation makes it a favourite for returning guests. You’ll enjoy local charm without sacrificing comfort.

Provence Meets the Sea in Èze

Stay at Château Eza, a 400-year-old property built into the cliffs. With only 14 rooms, it offers intimate luxury with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. The gourmet restaurant, suspended above the sea, is worth the trip alone.
