The Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat has been a landmark on the Cote d’Azur since it first opened over one hundred years ago in 1908 and has recently completed a renovation and extension project in 2009 that included the opening of the spa. In addition, the hotel features 73 rooms and suites, including 8 sea-view suites with their own private swimming pools, a private villa: Villa Rose-Pierre, 3 restaurants including 1* Michelin Restaurant Le Cap. The Grand Hotel’s Club Dauphin is known to be one of the most beautiful pools in the world with poolside dining and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean.
Earlier this year, in May 2011, the Grand-Hotel was one of 8 hotels in France awarded the new “Palace” distinction, exclusive to French hotels that supercede the 5-star category, and is still the only Palace-rated hotel on the Cote d’Azur.
The Grand-Hotel is delighted to receive this wonderful recognition that demonstrates the work of the spa’s dedicated staff of highly qualified therapists as well as excellent facilities and beautiful surroundings. Le Spa at the Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat is currently offering a new massage technique using artisan crafted beeswax and coconut oil candle wax for a non-oily yet thoroughly moisturising massage. When the candle is lit, the wax melts and is applied at a perfect 38 degrees Celsius: an ideal temperature for the skin to absorb the natural oils while muscles release tension.
Le Spa is offering a special winter “Cocooning Time” treatment that includes a facial and candle back massage. Price 165 euros. Le Spa at the Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat71 bd du Général de Gaulle, 06230 Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat Côte d’Azur, FranceTel : +33(0)4 93 76 50 50 www.grand-hotel-cap-ferrat.com
