This modernist, art-filled property is in a league of its own. Near Monaco, in the village of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the hotel is part of Maybourne – which includes Claridge’s and The Connaught –, so it knows how to dazzle guests. With an infinity-edge pool, Michelin-starred Ceto, and comprehensive spa (which combines ‘ancient ceremonies, restorative bodywork, and the latest bio innovation’), it’s easy to understand this newcomer’s popularity. Its beach club, Maybourne La Plage, perched at the tip of Cap Martin, seals the deal for those still on the proverbial fence.

A Riviera legend, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc epitomizes old-school glamor; everyone from the Scott-Fitzgeralds to Coco Chanel have passed through their imposing doors. Now part of the Oetker Collection, bedrooms here are classic and chintzy. Come morning, the sea-facing terrace is the ideal spot to enjoy your petit déj of patisserie. Art populates the vast grounds, which are graced by the Dior Spa Eden-Roc and a salt-water swimming pool Slim Aaron’s took quite a shining to.
