Hotels Own Introduction
A floating retreat on the Côte d’Azur
Overlooking the serene, unspoilt bay of Aiguebelle, Hotel Les Roches offers a rarefied escape on the Côte d’Azur, where the Mediterranean stretches endlessly towards the Îles du Levant. Perched directly above the water, the five-star hotel has been a landmark of refined hospitality and fine dining for almost a century. Reimagined by architect Jean-Baptiste Pietri, its contemporary architecture combines clean lines with noble, authentic materials, while a carefully curated collection of contemporary art adds a distinctive cultural dimension.
Rooms with panoramic sea views
Designed like a majestic vessel anchored above the Mediterranean, all 40 rooms and suites embrace the sea, with panoramic views extending across the shimmering waters. Elegant interiors, natural materials and understated design create a calm, sophisticated atmosphere, allowing the extraordinary setting to take centre stage. Every room offers an intimate vantage point from which to experience the changing light and rhythm of the Riviera.
L’Oursin restaurant
At the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant, L’Oursin, Chef Antoine Gras brings a refined and delicate culinary style to the Côte d’Azur. Known for his work at La Table de l’Ours in Val d’Isère, awarded one Michelin star, the chef creates sophisticated cuisine inspired by exceptional ingredients and the surrounding Mediterranean landscape. Set high above the sea, the restaurant offers an unforgettable backdrop for an elegant dining experience.
L’Oiseau Bleu Spa
