Hôtel Riviera Palace de Beausoleil, Belle Époque hotel in Beausoleil, France.
The Hôtel Riviera Palace de Beausoleil is an elegant Belle Époque hotel built between 1898 and 1902 in this French coastal town. Its ochre-colored facade features blue majolica balustrades and large windows with views toward Monte Carlo and the Mediterranean Sea.
The building was designed by architect Georges Chedanne and commissioned by the Compagnie des Wagons-Lits, a company famous for operating luxury trains. During World War I, the hotel was converted into a military hospital to serve the wounded.
The dining room inside displays Venetian-style decoration with panels inspired by historic palaces, while the reception halls showcase classical features with columns that reflect the luxury of the Belle Époque era.
The building sits on Avenue du Professeur-Langevin and has been divided into private apartments while keeping its protected status as a historical monument. Visitors can view the exterior facade and some public areas, though the interior is not completely open to the public.
The building contains a large winter garden designed by the company of Gustave Eiffel with a glass roof and natural rockwork. This space is filled with subtropical plants and creates a green refuge within the urban setting.
