Evocative 42-room hotel in a stone villa where F. Scott Fitzgerald lived in 1926, set in the Mediterranean village of Juan-les-Pins south of Antibes. Spacious public areas, including a piano bar, contain original art deco pieces in a ’20s-inspired theme. One corner room with two balconies offered superb sea views and lively décor, including art deco armchairs upholstered in a zebra print; the well-appointed bath had a separate tub and shower. Chef Aurélien Véquaud presides over Michelin-starred La Passagère, designed by Olivier Antoine and featuring seaview terrace; also waterfront patio dining and private sunning-water sports jetty, one of the more peaceful places to relax on this often-hectic coastline. Closed January to March.

Spectacular location at the edge of the Mediterranean; friendly and efficient service; historical associations with F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Expensive breakfast; the ridiculous charge for a sun lounger.
You can use the pool, health club and hammam at the Belles Rives’ sister hotel, the nearby Hôtel Juana, free.
Lowest Rate: Superior Cape Side Room, $410; Editor’s Choice: Panoramic Seaview Room, $1,370.
