Home > Hotel du Cap
Built originally as a private mansion Ville Soleil (Villa of the Sun) in 1863, the Hotel du Cap, in Antibes, first opened its doors to guests in 1870. Gerald and Sara Murphy, a young American couple who had expatriated to France in the 1920s, once rented the hotel for an entire summer, a unique event for the era as the French Riviera was not a summer destination at the time, but a winter escape for the wealthy. With the Murphys came many legendary writers and artists of the Lost Generation, including F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway.
