Cap d'Antibes Beach Hotel

Côte d'Azur, France

Top of the class for architecture and design, Cap d’Antibes Beach Hotel has as much glitter as the surrounding sea, with its polished glass and concrete planes. Inside, things are equally dazzling, with the renowned Les Pecheurs restaurant, and bold bedrooms, decked out with a modishly marine theme.
