The design of the Belle Plage hotel draws on the colours of the surrounding area
A hotel with a modern design focus comes to the French Riviera as the new Belle Plage hotel in Le Suquet, Cannes, opens its doors. La Clé Group is at the helm of an extensive renovation that brings new life to what was originally a seaside hotel from the 1930s. A ten-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals, the Belle Plage hotel draws on the historical accents of traditional seaside residences with a juxtaposition of materials including wood, stone, terrazzo and plaster. Designer Raphael Navot – who previously headed projects at Hôtel National des Arts et Métiers, Le 39V restaurant and Silencio members’ club, all in Paris – has worked with the FAAR architecture studio to bring a dreamlike tranquillity to the project.
The fluid form of the exterior makes an unobtrusive addition to the landscape, with bold hues both inside and outside reflecting the colours of the land, sea and sky. In the 50 guest rooms and ten private residences, pale sandy tones make a calm foil for the deep blue of the interiors.
