The retreat channels the French Riviera's interwar jazz age, opening out toward the sparkling bay of Juan-les-Pins.
“MGallery’s 1932 Hotel and Spa Cap d’Antibes made a splash when it opened in summer 2022 with a glorious rooftop and a Roaring Twenties vibe.”
What it’s good at

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
The look is heavily Art Deco–influenced, but modern as well — its visual simplicity and restraint mark it as a contemporary tribute rather than a faithful reproduction.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Juan-les-Pins beach sits just steps away, and the town's shaded pine grove is a short stroll inland.
The rooms
Ground-floor junior suites open onto private terraces with heated plunge pools. Upstairs, balconies look straight out to sea.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated rooftop pool sits beside rows of sun loungers, and the gym is fitted with solid-wood exercise machines.
The spa
Therapists tailor treatments with custom-blended Codage Paris serums, and the space includes a traditional sauna and hammam.
Restaurant
Quinto Cielo
The rooftop restaurant serves Spanish and Italian sharing plates, looking straight across the bay from shaded tables.
Restaurant
La Rotonde
The circular salon serves morning breakfast buffets beneath arched windows, surrounded by mint velvet and wood parquet.
At the table
Champagne and cocktails are poured at the curved bar, and guests gather on the open terrace toward dusk.
How it began
Architect Georges Dikansky modeled the building on an ocean liner, opening it in 1932 as Le Grand Pavois.
