If a celebrity is headed to the South of France, you can probably guess where they’re going to be hanging their (v chic) hats: the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc. Known as one of the world’s most elegant, exclusive, and expensive hotels, this 5-star resort is where the rich and famous have stayed and played along the French Riveria for over 150 years. It’s not easy to get in—actually, it’s notoriously difficult to snag one of their 118 rooms and well-equipped suites, especially during the peak season as an, ahem, normie. But, if you can get a reservation, it’s a one-way ticket to joining the It Crowd.
Originally built in 1869 as a place for writers to unwind and seek inspiration, the sprawling chateau (no like, it’s built on 22 acres of coastline) opened as a hotel in 1889, immediately catering to ~society’s elite~. It’s been a summer hotspot ever since for anyone with chunks of change to blow, from Pablo Picasso to Beyonce. And when I say “chunks of change,” I’m talking serious cash: the most luxurious suite, the Eden-Roc, which has a 200-square-meter terrace overlooking the water, goes for up to $12,000 per night, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
