Grand Hotel du Cap-Martin Residence

On the tip of Cap-Martin, a magnificent peninsula planted with pine trees, olive trees and other typical Mediterranean species, the Grand Hôtel du Cap-Martin is a former luxury hotel turned private residence. Its construction began in 1890 when a London limited company commissioned the Danish architect Hans-Georg Tersling, who had already designed several luxury hotels and villas on the French Riviera.

Seen from the sea, the Residence du Grand Hôtel du Cap-Martin presents a majestic facade of a brilliant white. In a private park of 5 hectares, it welcomes luxury residences, feet in the water, and offering breathtaking views of the park and sea. They benefit from top-of-the-range services such as 3 tennis courts, a supervised swimming pool, a private beach with its private restaurant open in season, as well as a playroom for children.

The palace is equipped with the most modern improvements and benefits from an exceptional comfort for the time. It welcomed many crowned heads and celebrities such as the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I, his wife Elisabeth of Austria, better known under the nickname of Sissi and the former Empress Eugenie. The prestigious establishment went through a period of decline after the First World War, and suffered a fire in the 1930s and a bombing in 1940, before finally being sold as apartments in 1959.

The Residence du Grand Hôtel du Cap-Martin is situated in a privileged location, in the commune of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.
