Architecture FESTEN Architecture

Renowned Parisian architecture firm Festen has reworked the late-1950s/early-1960s structure, stripping away unnecessary...

ornamentation and bad renovations from the 1980s and 1990s to emphasize the clean nautical-modernist lines of classic French Riviera architecture. Broadened windows, clean modernist lines, and materials like polished concrete and Opus Incertum harken back to the classic French Riviera style of the mid-20th century.

Interior design FESTEN Architecture

At Hôtel Les Roches Rouges, the designers have lovingly equipped rooms with historic, custom-made pieces by local carpenters.

Also embellishing the guestrooms are vintage furnishings and miscellaneous objets d’art inspired by the sea and the storied holiday tradition of the French Riviera, such as sun hats, beach baskets, walking sticks, travel books, maps, and more.

Food & Drink La Cuisine Provençale

Food & Drink La Cuisine Provençale

At the 1-Michelin star La Terrasse, chef José Bailly, does delicious modern riffs on traditional Provençal dishes.

Inspired by “La Cuisine Provençale de la Tradition Populaire,” a 1963 cookbook of traditional recipes by René Jouveau, a poet and native of Arles, Bailly serves menus that change seasonally. The British ​mixologist Dean Shury creates cocktails inspired by the Côte d’Azur and local spirits like pastis and rinquinquin, a peach liqueur, that ​keep the hotel’s three bars humming.
