Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, Palace hotel in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France

The Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat stands at the tip of the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula, its cream facade rising several storeys beneath a flat roofline inscribed with the hotel's name. Symmetrical rows of rectangular windows with blue-grey shutters and small wrought-iron balconies flank a central entrance sheltered by a rounded green awning. The building began in 1908 with two wings set at an open angle; a loggia dining room and the central Rotonde followed in 1909.

King Leopold II of Belgium bought the peninsula's wooded land at the end of the 19th century and sold part of it to a company led by a Mr. Péretmère, who reserved six and a half hectares for a hotel. Construction began in 1908 with two wings set at an open angle; a loggia dining room and the central Rotonde followed in 1909. Madame Ferras, grandmother of violinist Christian Ferras, later bought it, and during the First World War it served as a hospital.

The hotel's three restaurants are Le Cap (gastronomic), La Véranda (all-day dining) and the Club Dauphin by the seawater pool. In 2024 its pastry chef Pierre-Jean Quinonero was named Pastry Chef of the Year, and in 2025 the Michelin Guide placed the hotel in its Top 5 hotels worldwide.

The hotel stands at the tip of the Cap-Ferrat peninsula, reached by the coastal road through Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. The rocky shoreline made the sea hard to reach, so a cove was blasted from the rock and a 33-metre seawater pool, Sun Beach, opened beside it in April 1939. The grounds were laid out by landscape gardener Jean Mus during the 2009 extension.

The seawater pool near the shore, inaugurated in April 1939 as Sun Beach, measures 33 metres and was described as Olympic size at the time. During the June 1940 Italian occupation, an engineering officer told the hotel director he had built that pool. The hotel's pâtissier Pierre-Jean Quinonero was named Pastry Chef of the Year in 2024.
