Belles Rives – The Villa of Francis Scott Fitzgerald
The story of the Hôtel Belles Rives in Juan-les-Pins begins in 1926 with a legendary couple: Francis Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. The American writer and his wife were staying with friends near Antibes when they fell under the spell of the Riviera and began searching for a house to rent.
In Juan-les-Pins, they fell in love with a seaside villa surrounded by pine trees: Villa “Saint-Louis.” Beneath the Côte d’Azur sun, they embraced the pleasures of summer and regularly entertained friends such as Rudolf Valentino, the Murphys, and Ernest Hemingway. Life here was social, nocturnal, free-spirited, and delightfully extravagant.
Scott and Zelda made Juan-les-Pins an emblematic destination, where the Jet Set of the era gathered to celebrate modernity and glamour. A few years later, this villa would become the Hôtel Belles Rives.
The Estène Family
At the same time, far from the Mediterranean, Boma Estène left his native Russia to discover Paris and later Antibes. In 1929, he acquired Villa Saint-Louis with his wife Simone, heir to a dynasty of hoteliers who owned the Hôtel Splendid in Antibes.
They swiftly transformed the grand seaside residence into a charming waterfront hotel… thus giving birth to the Hôtel Belles Rives. Between 1930 and 1931, an additional wing and two extra floors were added, bringing the total to 42 rooms.
From the union of Boma and Simone were born three children: Georges, Raïna-Laure (known as Laurette), and Casimir. Upon Boma’s passing in 1970, Casimir took over the management of the hotel alongside his mother, later guiding its destiny alone and enhancing its legacy.
A representative of the third Estène generation, Marianne Estène-Chauvin has owned Belles Rives since 2001. She is part of a very select circle of women leading prestigious hotels. Since April 2017, her son Antoine has joined the House as President, alongside his sister Valentine, perpetuating the family spirit that defines Belles Rives.
Listed as a 20th-century heritage site and registered among remarkable buildings, Belles Rives harmoniously blends charm and elegance within an authentic 1930s décor, complemented by the utmost comfort. Today a five-star hotel, it is a member of prestigious international affiliations including Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Virtuoso, and Traveller Made.

Piano Bar Fitzgerald: Extension 414
Learn More
In 2004, this legendary bar joined the exclusive circle of the “Historic and Heritage Cafés of Europe,” further affirming its exceptional character.
Warm, refined, and inviting, the Bar Fitzgerald comes alive each evening to the sound of the piano. Our bartender offers a wide selection of cocktails, with or without alcohol, to be enjoyed at aperitif time or after dinner, gathered around the iconic black Baldwin piano to extend the evening over a digestif.
Designed in pure 1930s style and adorned with period paintings, the lounge lends itself to many different moods. Sink into a club armchair for a moment of relaxation before or after dinner, while admiring the panoramic view over the Bay of Golfe-Juan and the Lérins Islands.
The cigar cellar features twelve brands from three renowned terroirs — Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras — ranging from cigarillos to double coronas. Best enjoyed after dinner at La Passagère, to prolong the refinement and conviviality, particularly on the terrace.
Throughout the year, at tea time or aperitif hour, hot beverages and cocktails can be savored on the Belles Rives terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. Renowned teas accompanied by homemade pastries, or a glass of champagne served with delicate toasts… you will have a front-row seat to admire the fireworks.
The piano is also available upon request through Management, who will be pleased to inform you of access conditions and availability.
La Passagère

The gourmet restaurant La Passagère and its Chef, Aurélien Véquaud, invite you to discover a subtle and generous cuisine inspired by Mediterranean flavors. Through his menus, à la carte selections, themed dinners, and tasting menu, the Chef celebrates creativity while honoring the freshness and excellence of regional produce.
Alongside him, Pastry Chef Johann Kleiber crafts true sweet symphonies, blending creativity, finesse, and emotion to elevate each final course.
Reopening on April 29. Open from Wednesday to Sunday, from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm.
The grand dining room of La Passagère, faithful to pure Art Deco style, opens onto the sea through vast, light-filled bay windows. Golden arabesque friezes delicately gilded with gold leaf, hand-painted cabriolet armchairs, original tableware, and art glassware compose a refined décor — a tribute to the elegance of the 1930s.
Its magnificent terrace, paved with traditionally crafted terracotta tiles, reveals an exceptional panoramic view of the Lérins Islands. It provides the perfect setting for a romantic dinner, while also lending itself beautifully to grand evenings and special events: the fireworks of the Pyromelodic Festival, classical recitals or great musical standards, or simply watching the performances of the Water Ski Club from the Belles Rives pontoon.
The wine list reflects the same pursuit of excellence. Aymeric Verdy, our Head Sommelier, has carefully selected fine regional estates such as Rasque, Saint-Baillon, and La Bernarde, along with prestigious vintages from Bordeaux, the Loire Valley, and Burgundy.
We regularly host wine events dedicated to renowned estates and exceptional bottles, presented during themed dinners — a truly epicurean experience. The program is available at Reception.
As the restaurant is highly sought after and often fully booked, we recommend reserving your table through the Concierge.
Our chefs are also pleased to create off-menu dishes upon request. Kindly inform Reception in advance.

The cuisine expresses itself with originality and simplicity. On the menu: dishes to share, exceptionally fresh fish and seafood, seasonal vegetables, and indulgent desserts — not to mention takeaway pastries and birthday cakes, perfect for extending the pleasure.

Belles Rives Water Ski Club
Water skiing was born here. It was in this natural bay of Cap d’Antibes that water skiing was successfully pioneered in the 1920s by an alpine hunter, after unsuccessful trials on Lake Annecy. In the early 1930s, the Americans frequenting the French Riviera helped popularize the sport.
Our club continues this tradition of excellence and offers:
• The Marc Grilli Challenge, organized every August
• Lessons for all levels (children, adults, beginners, advanced, and competition training). Rates can be viewed here.
For further information, please contact Nathalie, Head of Water Activities, directly on the pontoon (extension 1311).
