The Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc is celebrated for its timeless elegance and exceptional service, making it a favorite retreat on the French Riviera.

To eat & drink (within 230 m):

• Eden-Roc Restaurant — is the legendary lunchtime spot perched on the rocks above the sea, tables with jaw-dropping Mediterranean views, open daily for lunch only.
• Louroc Restaurant — is the Michelin-starred dinner restaurant, perfect for a sunset splurge.
• The Grill — is a more relaxed poolside option for casual lunches.

To explore:

• Coastal footpath — (1 000m) The access point to the famous coastal path is just over a kilometre away. This is actually the best entry point for the trail — starting from the hotel’s side of the Cap and walking the 4.8km loop toward Garoupe. Bring water, good shoes, and a swimsuit as there are rocky spots to jump in along the way.
• Cap d’Antibes Beach — (1 300m) A lovely, relaxed beachfront Mediterranean restaurant. A nice change of pace from the hotel’s own dining — great for a casual lunch right at the sea. Open daily from 9am.
• La Garoupe Beach — (1 350m) The nearest proper sandy beach. Crystal-clear water, free parking. Note there’s some ongoing renovation work so the public area may be smaller than usual.
• Villa Thuret botanical gardens — (1 680m) A tranquil botanical garden run by the national agronomic research institute, with towering exotic trees and palm groves. Completely free to enter, open weekdays only (Mon–Fri, 8:30am–5:30pm). A lovely quiet walk away from the beach crowds.
