In the know

Our favourite rooms: Deluxe Room 208 comes with dazzling views, but Room 210 has the best fish mural (every room has one), covering an entire wall. You can sea-gaze from Suite 201, which also has a cosy sitting area and a well-sized bathroom with a shower and free-standing tub. Suite 105 has its own private garden.
Packing tips: Poolside poser finery: oversized sunglasses, dapper trunks or an itsy bitsy Pistol Panties bikini, plus an air of sophisticated insouciance.
Also: The hotel was once a beachside club for the beautiful and the glammed, counting Sophia Loren and Cary Grant among its clientele.

Cap d'Antibes Beach Hotel

Côte D'azur (east), France[view map]

Style: Minimalist modern marvel
Setting: Cream of the Cap

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.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant: There are two restaurants: Les Pecheurs, a stylish eatery with gastronomic gravitas; and the more casual beach restaurant, Le Cap. Food at Les Pecheurs is a sensory surprise, with dishes such as veal with mango, vanilla flower salt and green pea mousse with peppermint. Le Cap serves up pasta, fish and meat dishes and Provencal cuisine.
Dress code: Where Sophia Loren’s feet have trod, glamour must surely follow – don your most dazzling dinner attire for Les Pecheurs (jackets required for men). A Ralph Lauren polo shirt or Melissa Odabash sarong will stand you in good stead at Le Cap.
Top table: Sit by the window at Les Pecheurs, or close to the waves at Le Cap.
Last orders: Breakfast in Les Pecheurs is served between 7.30am until 11am; dinner is dished up from 7.30pm until 10.30pm.
Room service: Snacks and dishes from Le Cap’s menu can be ordered 24 hours a day.
Hotel bar: In a minimalist space by the lobby, the bar is glossy red, surrounded by egg-shaped tables and chairs, white walls and aubergine-coloured murals. A wall of slanted book shelves divides the bar from the restaurant.

Also worth knowing

Children: Little Smiths six years and upwards are welcome; the restaurant has a children’s menu, cots are provided free for babies and babysitting with a local nanny can be organised (book a day in advance). The pool is only open to guests over 16.
