A new hotel for Bernard Arnault
The French entrepreneur recently set his sights on one of the Côte d’Azur’s finest hotel jewels. Perfectly situated between Nice and Monaco, the confidential 5-star hotel is nestled on a two-hectare private peninsula in Èze. With barely twenty rooms, the Cap Estel promises to be a unique new rendezvous for an upscale, discreet international clientele. After the acquisition, by his LVMH group, of prestigious brands – Belmond, Cheval Blanc, Bulgari… – and stakes in Orient Express (Accor) and Domaines de Fontenille, the French billionaire continues to expand his hotel empire. With an existing gourmet restaurant, current chef Kévin Garcia offers top-flight cuisine, such as raw marinated gamberoni with strawberry vinegar sabayon, or roast lamb with tarragon and garlic cream. We’ll be keeping a close eye on the development of this magnificent establishment.
