Visitor comments

  • "The location is from a Bond movie. Terrace overlooking its own little harbour, great gatsby Art Deco style building and decor adds quirky opulence, combined with gracious and friendly staff, of the kind you don't find in Harrods or other self-important stores around the world." - Trip Advisor
  • "This hotel is really fantastic, charming and beautiful room, view to die for, top notch service, l’élégance à la Française. However, usually, in France, I can of always have problems with the attitude of the staff; well my stay here made it think radically differently. Julien, the restaurant director, is ONE OF A KIND, the perfect host. The food by the former chef of Alléno at Le Meurice was divine." - Trip Advisor
