Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, part of the Oetker
Collection portfolio of Masterpiece Hotels, will reopen on 14
April for the 2023 season
following a renovation of the hotel’s suites.
Overseen by Countess Bergit Gräfin Douglas of
MM-Design Frankfurt, the renovations are being performed in the
Eden-Roc Pavilion, the Hotel du Cap’s main building and Les Deux
Fontaines residence.
A timeless décor speaks through Countess Bergit
Gräfin Douglas’ choice of interiors by Pierre Frey, Loro Piana and
Manuel Canovas, elaborated in a varied palette of blues and whites
to reflect the intrinsic character of each building.
Marie-Catherine Douglas of Douglas Kunstberatung GmbH
advised on the artwork throughout, which will present
a mix of original postmodern and contemporary works by Andy
Warhol, John Baldessari and Alex Katz, as well as other notable
figures of 20th and 21st century art.
Upon retreating to Eden-Roc Pavilion’s sea-facing
Junior Suites, guests will pass by a series of flower paintings by
Andy Warhol in the hallway.
All 31 Junior Suites are being fully
refreshed with creative input from British interior designer
Francis Sultana, and Countess Bergit Gräfin Douglas ensuring
that eighty percent of the suites’ decorative elements were
sourced in Europe, with most coming from France.
Each boasts a direct view of the Mediterranean
Sea and the Lérins Islands, and feature natural
materials such as cotton, linen and wool in a palette of vibrant
blues, pristine whites and shades of green echoing the contrast of
sea, sky and the hotel’s verdant gardens.
The furniture embraces a yachting spirit in
harmonious white with soft-toned wood. Two custom pieces by
Francis Sultana include a private bar console and a glass and
bronze shelving unit named ‘Ella’ after one of the hotel’s
illustrious guests, Ella Fitzgerald.
Ensuring an environment
ideally equipped for the possibility of remote work, each suite in
the Eden-Roc Pavilion features a writing desk by Philippe Hurel.
The Pavilion’s 100-square-metre
Eden-Roc Suite has been reimagined as a seaside penthouse apartment in
soft tones of white, cream and sea blue. The tranquil bedroom
features a four-poster bed facing floor-to-ceiling windows
overlooking the Mediterranean, while the living room invites
guests to make themselves at home with a large
wrap-around sofa, writing desk, dining table and a library.
The suite’s indoors open seamlessly onto an
expansive teak terrace that doubles the overall living space to
200 square metres and includes a graceful pergola and a whirlpool
bath to enjoy an invigorating soak with views of the hypnotic blue
sea. The Eden-Roc Suite is a truly glamorous space, ideal for
hosting a private dinner.
Two paintings by New York-based contemporary
artist Landon Metz animate the central hallway in the main
building with their expressive use of colour and shape.
Stately
and traditional in nature, the main building’s four new
one bedroom suites will blend details dating back to the hotel’s
opening in 1870 — towering ceilings, crown moulding, period
chandeliers and Louis XV furniture – with contemporary additions that
create a distinguished harmony between past and present.
In a
hushed palette of cream and sky blue, the suites will feature
custom details such as a mahogany table by Maison Tallarda and
carpet by Pinton, in addition to a coffee table in bronze and
limestone by Alberto Giacometti.
In the adjacent Les Deux Fontaines Residence, four
Double Rooms are being converted into two 60-sqm Junior
Suites, offering guests added comfort for their summer stay on Cap
d’Antibes with newly refreshed and bright interiors.
