It’s been the setting of an enchanting Karl Lagerfeld–helmed Chanel runway show, the site of glamorous Hollywood-style parties, and the location of Natalie Portman’s drama-filled Dior commercials. It’s been captured in photographs by Slim Aarons, literature by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and sketches by Pablo Picasso. Now a massive new tome is exploring the history and heritage of the resort, even predating its construction when Cap d’Antibes was a wonderland recreated in the romantic paintings of Claude Monet and Paul Signac. Hotel du Cap Eden Roc: A Timeless Legend on the French Riviera (Flammarion) by Alexandra Campbell with an introduction by former Vanity Fair editor in chief, Graydon Carter, follows the French Rivera’s noble history through the Belle Epoque and Jazz Ages right up to the present day."" —GALERIEMAGAZINE.COM ""Even if you’re not planning an escape to the French Riviera this summer, this book just might be able to quench some wanderlust by providing a look inside one of the world’s most glamorous hotels."" —ELLEDECOR.COM ""There are few places in the world that have been elevated into the pantheon of Instagram's wanderlust moodboards quite like the swimming pool at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France. Built into the craggy cliffside, the water appears to blend seamlessly into the ocean below, and holidaymakers—as photographer and frequent hotel fixture Slim Aarons often referred to them—have been known to spend several weeks of the summer season languishing on a chaise in the South of France sunshine. But much more lies beyond its shores, and a new tome, entitled Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc: A Timeless Legend on the French Riviera, explores each and every glitzy piece of this hideaway’s 150-year history. Inside, readers are transported back to the property’s early days through never before seen anecdotes, documents, and photographs—and here, we have a first look at a select handful of archival imagery."" —VOGUE"
