Luxurious travel destination: the exquisite jewel of the Côte d’Azur, The Maybourne Riviera

Built on a rocky peninsula high above the picturesque French town of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, The Maybourne Riviera – a strikingly modernist hotel – is the fifth property of Maybourne, operators of Claridge’s, The Connaught and The Berkeley in London, and The Maybourne Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. With dramatic panoramic views of the coastline that take in Cap-Martin and Italy to the west and Monte Carlo to the east, The Maybourne Riviera offers an unrivalled setting high above the glistening Mediterranean Sea.

The location is famed for its rich art and cultural heritage as well as spectacular beauty, ensuring this new hotel will be instilled with the inspirational and creative spirit for which Maybourne is world renowned.

The hotel, with exterior design by Jean-Michel Wilmotte features sixty-six beautifully appointed rooms and suites, all with unrivalled sea views from their own private terraces. The Maybourne Riviera is collaborating with some of the most globally recognised artists, designers and architects to create one-of-a-kind spaces, with Andre Fu, Bryan O’Sullivan, Marcelo Joulia and Rigby & Rigby all adding their distinctive style, as well as the Maybourne in-house design team led by Michelle Wu. In addition, the hotel has gone to great lengths to embrace the traditional arts and crafts of the region, sourcing and working with local artists and artisans to create bespoke art, glassware, ceramics and furnishings. There is also a respectful nod to the modernist architects Le Corbusier and Eileen Grey who built their iconic homes in nearby Cap Moderne.

The Maybourne Riviera is set to become an outstanding gastronomic destination on the Côte d’Azur with a host of restaurants under the creative direction of one of the finest chefs and restauranteurs in the world – the legendary Mauro Colagreco of three-Michelin star Mirazur, in nearby Menton, and past holder of the No. 1 position in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants.

Located on the enviable top floor of the hotel with epic views, Colagreco’s restaurant Ceto – which was recently awarded its first Michelin star – draws on one of his favourite themes, the sea. The centre piece of the restaurant is an open grill, and the menu reflects the vibrant ingredients of the Mediterranean Sea serving not only fish and shellfish but delicacies such as algae, sea herbs, samphire, sea fennel, sea cucumber and snails.

At lobby level, Colagreco also offers a colourful menu at the Riviera Restaurant available throughout the day in a relaxed, contemporary setting with uninterrupted sea views. Highlighting regional specialities in their simplest form – from the Niçoise salad, Spaghetti alla Genovese, grilled fish and sun-soaked vegetables to the famous sweet-tart, Tropezienne – all produce is locally sourced from the likes of Liguria and Nice.

The Riviera Restaurant’s Tea Time takes inspiration of British afternoon tea to the Riviera, with cakes including light vanilla madeleines and Millefeuille layered with citrus cream, all expertly crafted by our pastry team.

Perched beside the outdoor infinity pool with a breathtaking view of a mirage-like haze over the sea and sky, guest can enjoy La Piscine’s signature truffle pizza and lobster rolls served with rosemary-spiked fries.

Following the Maybourne legacy of standout and world famous hotel bars, Le 300 features innovative cocktails using local ingredients, from gin infused with herbs de Provence to Limoncello made in nearby Menton, as well as an extensive wine list. Set against the sounds of a Steinway piano, with floor-to-ceiling windows, Le 300 bar at night reveals the starry lights of the Riviera coastline.

Guests of the hotel have exclusive access to the stylishly chic Maybourne Riviera Beach Club nearby and will be transported there from the hotel (or to Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and Monte Carlo) by open topped bespoke Biminis, in the hotel’s signature lemon and white stripes.

The hotel is set in restored ancient gardens with walled in walkways, citrus orchards and a seasonal herb garden. Mosaic pavements feature dramatic curves inspired by landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx in Copacabana Beach with tiles painstakingly laid by Portuguese craftsmen. The Maybourne Riviera has an heated swimming pool and an outdoor infinity pool built into the rock with signature orange sunbeds overlooking the ever-changing panorama of distant sailboats and swooping hang-gliders.

The Maybourne Riviera Spa, designed by Andre Fu, is as a retreat for holistic restorative treatments. The spa menu – featuring Augustinus Bader and La Eva – is inspired by the scents and foliage of the hotels surroundings and treatment rooms come complete with terraces and sweeping views of the Mediterranean to create the ultimate atmosphere of luxurious calm.

The art of entertaining will be a significant focus, with the hotel housing a grand ballroom as well as a custom designed marquee offering extensive space for high profile events and glamorous entertaining.

The arrival of The Maybourne Riviera is set to bring the historic town of Roquebrune to further prominence, with its 10th Century Medieval castle, ancient Vallonnet caves, and even a 1000 year old olive tree in the centre of the Old Town that still bears fruit. It has a rich, artistic legacy of painters, poets and writers from WB Yeats and Eileen Gray to Matisse, Picasso and Jean Cocteau.
