Perched on the cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean, between the port of Cassis and the wild coves of the Calanques, this former Belle Époque mansion—converted into a boutique hotel in the 1920s—has welcomed such luminaries as Winston Churchill and Edith Piaf. Today, it has been reinvented as a five-star lifestyle retreat, blending Art Deco elegance, terraces suspended above the water, infinity pools, and spectacular views of the legendary Cap Canaille, one of Europe’s highest sea cliffs.
When it comes to enjoyment, the hotel positions itself as a destination in its own right: panoramic restaurants, a wildly popular brunch, a Provence-inspired cocktail bar, a Sisley-branded spa carved into the rock, and even a private villa with a pool and butler for the most exclusive stays. All this in an atmosphere that’s chic, relaxed, and decidedly trendy.
