Immortalized by Scott Fitzgerald, the paradisiacal Hotel Belles Rives offers its guests an elegant and charming hotel whose 1930s style has been fully reinstated and provided with an even greater level of comfort. The Belles Rives has the particular charm of being a residence on the shores of the Mediterranean – a perfect setting for families or friends to spend their holidays. Direct access to the sea and a private beach, as well as a jetty for nautical activities and mooring boats, form part of this slice of paradise.

On the upper floors of the hotel, the corridors place emphasis on this nautical setting. Mahogany paneling and blue and white wallpaper reflect the “boat” style which is further accentuated by the use of chrome handrails. The blue carpeting, exclusively designed for Belles Rives by Jules Flippo, is decorated with marine patterns inspired by the Normandy passenger liner and a musical note, a subtle but key reference to the importance of jazz at Juan-les-Pins. Belles Rives is synonymous with pleasure, be it through recreation, entertainment or peaceful beachside relaxation, spending the hours lying on blue and white sun loungers shaded by parasols.

This little slice of paradise on the Mediterranean coast is a moment of delight and harmony facing the Lérins islands, Palm Beach and the Esterel hills in the distance. A palace whose white and blue colours reflect the surrounding sky and sea. Superb white awnings with the twinkling lights of the shore as a backdrop, or the hotel’s elegant illuminated façade… Long dresses and formal wear… Jewels reflecting the star-studded night sky… A step back into the past when such events had a dream-like quality. And yet a modern setting in a décor imbued with history, in surroundings that have remained virtually unchanged since the 1930’s, and where certain nostalgia continues to float over the calm waters of the Mediterranean.
