Cap Eden Roc
From the end of the nineteenth century, the Villa Soleil welcomed writers in search of inspiration, and by the 1920s (when, renamed the Eden Roc, it served as the model for Gausse's Hotel in F.Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night) it had become the destination of choice for hundreds of celebrity vistors.
Not much has changed. The allure of that novel and the hotel's long association with Hollywood is clear from the guest list, which includes names from Fred Astaire to John Wayne, and in recent years, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Leonardo di Caprio and Celine Dion.
There is a wide range of rooms and suites to choose from, while those who require a little more privacy and exclusivity can take advantage of the newly-constructed Villa Eleana, just a few steps away from the main
hotel. Service is one of the most memorable features of a stay here, with review after review praising the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff - worth its weight in gold.
Dining, as always on the Cote d'Azur, is an unforgettable experience, as testified to by the hotel's showpiece gourmet restaurant. Moreover, in the shape of Lilian Bonnefoi, the Reserve has one of the best pastry chefs in the world, awarded the highest accolade in 2008.
