A private invitation inside Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc’s dreamlike world, set against the backdrop of its legendary lifestyle and sun-drenched elegance on the French Riviera.

Perched on the rocky cliffs of Cap d’Antibes, the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc is far more than a five-star retreat—it is a living legend of French excellence, culinary art, and art de vivre. Carved into the stone above one of the Riviera’s most celebrated and secluded stretches of coastline, its iconic infinity pool reflects the cloudless sky and endless blue of the Mediterranean below, while 150-year-old maritime pines shade the elegant park and private cabanas where beauty and grace have mingled for generations. Yet behind this postcard perfection unfolds an invisible ballet: hundreds of artisans and staff orchestrate each detail, transforming every moment into pure enchantment and gastronomic excellence.

From the in-house chocolatier to the bakery perfuming the morning air, from three distinctive restaurants to serene bars serving inventive cocktails with unparalleled views—every offering is rooted in tradition and elevated with finesse. Chef Sébastien Broda, in collaboration with the region’s premier producers, creates cuisine shaped by the Riviera’s finest ingredients—organic vegetables, handmade cheeses, and freshly caught fish—all prepared with reverence for their natural character.

This book opens the gates to Eden-Roc’s dreamlike world, presenting its most emblematic creations—signature cocktails, beloved recipes, exceptional local products, and the passionate cultivators behind them. This white-stone sanctuary rises like a mirage—a shimmering invitation to the good life: timeless, rare, and unmistakably French.
