Hotel review: Inside the luxurious Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc - Tatler Singapore

If you check in for two nights, as we have, you’ll face the delightful dilemma of whether to stay on the hotel premises or explore the nearby attractions in Antibes or Nice.

If you choose to stay in, there’s plenty to do within the hotel. Lounge by its saltwater swimming pool—immortalised in photos by American photographer Slim Aaron in the seventies—or take flight into the Mediterranean seas from the hotel’s vintage diving board.

Or go on an art trail on the premises. Continuing its tradition of hosting legendary artists and their works, the hotel has invited Kamel Mennour, owner of the Parisian gallery Mennour, to present a collection of monumental sculptures by five leading artists, titled Un Eté à l'Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc.

Among the artworks are The Tounelle, parked at the hotel’s entrance, a multi-coloured installation by Daniel Buren, who’s renowned for his 260 black and white striped octagonal columns at the Palais Royal in Paris, and the Big Be-Hide by Alicja Kwade. Situated prominently on the garden along the Grande Allee, the latter is made up of a granite stone with a cast aluminium replica, placed on either side of a two-faced mirror.
