A Hotel
Anchored by the Sea

Wake up to sweeping sea views in the heart of Aiguebelle’s serene and unspoilt bay, a rare gem of the Côte d’Azur. Thus begins your stay within one of the 42 elegantly designed rooms and suites of Hotel Les Roches, moored like a majestic vessel upon the Mediterranean.

Steeped in history, Hotel Les Roches has been a landmark of exclusive retreats and fine dining for close to a century. Home to a gourmet restaurant and one of the most exquisite spas on the Côte d’Azur, the hotel has been reimagined through the contemporary vision of architect Jean-Baptiste Pietri with pure, elegant lines and rebuilt with the most noble and authentic materials. Throughout its spaces, guests can also admire a carefully curated collection of works by renowned contemporary artists.

“It is beautiful here; the sea rushes to meet the rocks just beyond our balcony doors. The rooms are elegant and inviting.”
Thomas Mann, during his stay at Les Roches in 1933

Like a vessel at anchor, Hotel Les Roches is envisioned as a ‘floating retreat’ where all 42 rooms and suites embrace the panoramic sea just above the water’s edge. Featuring ornate woodwork and terrazzo, these serene havens invite guests to unwind and gaze at the mesmerising beauty of the waves, so aptly captured by the words of poet Paul Valéry: “The sea, the sea, forever rebegun!”

Honouring its deep connection to the artistic heritage of this stretch of the Côte d’Azur – whose radiant beauty and light once enchanted post-impressionist masters such as Signac, Seurat, Cross, and Van Rysselberghe, who made their home in Le Lavandou – Hotel Les Roches is home to a collection of original works by renowned contemporary artists. From the lobby to the reception, the suites to the poolside pergola, the rooftop garden to the lush courtyard, the hotel-turned-gallery is a true haven of art by the sea. To experience the art of living with art, step into a realm adorned with the masterpieces of Michelangelo Pistoletto, Ma Desheng, Loris Cecchini, Maki Ohkojima, Jean-Daniel Lorieux, Romain Barré, Vladimir Zbynovsky, and more.
