• 66 room and suite hotel designed by internationally renowned designers and artists
• Home to Chef Mauro Colagreco’s and Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s gastronomic experiences
• Welcome the summer with newly opened beach club Maybourne La Plage

The Maybourne Riviera is the new hospitality jewel of the French Riviera and the first hotel in France from the legendary Maybourne Hotel Group; adding to its already esteemed collection of London properties including Claridge’s, The Connaught, The Berkeley, as well as The Maybourne Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, California.

Set on a rocky peninsula high above the picturesque French town of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin on one of the most sought-after pieces of real estate in the South of France, The Maybourne Riviera offers travellers and guests from the Middle East the very best of the Cote d’Azur. Having undergone a complete transformation over the course of four years – It is now a place to see and be seen especially during the glitz and glamour of the summer season.

Offering exclusive panoramic views of the coastline that take in Italy to the west and Monte Carlo to the east, the striking modernist hotel presents an unrivalled locale 14 levels above the glistening Mediterranean Sea.

The hotel aerial and exterior architecture is designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte and features sixty-six beautifully appointed rooms and suites, all with unrivalled sea views from their own private terraces.

The Maybourne Riviera itself is an outstanding gastronomic destination with a host of restaurants under the creative direction of two of the finest chefs in the world – the legendary Mauro Colagreco of three-Michelin star Mirazur, in nearby Menton, and past holder of the No. 1 position in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, and global super-chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten whose culinary vision, has redefined industry standards and revolutionised the way we eat.

Awarded a Michelin star just 5 months after opening and named #95 in The World’s 50 Best Restaurant rankings in June 2023, Ceto by Chef Mauro Colagreco is inspired by Greek mythology and the water constellations of the sky and draws on one of his favourite themes, the sea. The centrepiece is an open grill, and the menu reflects the vibrant local ingredients focusing on sustainable fishing in tune with nature and seasons.

The restaurant is a forerunner in the area, having implemented an exclusive technique for preserving fish: with a maturation chamber that reveals new flavours. The reflection of the seabed radiates the place already bathed in natural light. The waves, the water, the purity of the colours and the tableware, all showcase a continuity between the sky and the sea.

This summer, Ceto completes its gastronomic offer with La Domenica X Laurent Perrier : a unique, festive and elegant experience taking place each Sunday lunch at Ceto. One unique menu to share, celebrating the best products of the Mediterranean Sea. Looking to the traditions of the past while forging ahead its vision of modern luxury. A continuity between Riviera’s unique lights and the beauty of the French Riviera. Where sustainability and seasonality meet lifestyle and leisure.

At lobby level, Colagreco also offers a colourful representation at The Riviera Restaurant where guests can indulge in a menu that celebrates regional specialties and flavours in their simplest form enjoyed in a magical venue bordered by uninterrupted water views. Dishes include Niçoise salad, Spaghetti alla Genovese, grilled fish and sun-soaked vegetables to the famous sweet-tart, Tropezienne – all produce is locally sourced from the likes of the nearby Liguria and Nice areas. 

Indulge in pool-side pleasantness at La Piscine by Jean-Georges, for bites like perfectly charred truffle pizza, while sipping on a refreshing juice or a crisp rosé from the region. The restaurant offers a selection of summer dishes to share in a breath-taking setting.

Choose to start the day with a refreshing dip in the indoor pool or take advantage of the hotel’s tranquil outdoor infinity pool, built into the rocky mountains that merge seamlessly with the sea and skyline. Take a break from sunbathing and unwind and bask in the sun in signature orange sunbeds overlooking the luxurious panorama of distant sailboats and swooping hang-gliders.
