A WELL DESIGNED DREAM VACATION SPOT ON THE COTE D’AZUR!

June 20, 2011

Here is where I would like to go on vacation…to the French Riviera…with a long luxurious stay at the legendary Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc d’Antibes. Ahhhhh…if only.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the hotel, built back in the mid 1800’s, recently underwent a $67 million renovation earlier this year and reopened in April. The face lift included upgrading the rooms and grounds. The hotel is decorated by its owner Maja Oetker. Madame Oetker, who has owned the hotel since 1969, personally oversees all of the interior design where textiles seem to be the key.  Luxurious drapery, upholstered furniture and pillows play a huge part in shaping the resorts uber elegant ambiance.  Oetker uses both Colfax & Fowler and Pierre Frey textiles throughout the resort to create an elegant, classic but fresh look – a look that is distinctive but that doesn’t compete with the stunning ocean views.

The Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc has a long list notable guests who have stayed there including royalty, famous politicians like JFK and its share of stars and celebrities.

If only I had the time, this would be the perfect place for a getaway. I love the grounds and the traditional but not overly heavy decor. My dream vacation spot on the Cote d’Azur!

Striped drapery, pale turquoise wall and wicker furniture give a feeling of outdoors in an indoor lounge space. (above)
The casual dining area has a spectacular ocean view – no extra decorations needed here! (above)
Bold color or patterns are used on the drapes and upholstery – a contrast to the delicate unassuming wallpaper used in the guest rooms. (above and below)

What do you think of this hotel? Anything in the decor you see that you like?

Where would you spend your dream vacation?

Happy Monday!

P.S.  Been a bit busy these last few days…KS my fab assistant and AM our new intern worked so hard to send off almost 70 pillows and googobs of drapery panels and catalogs and candles (all from the COCOCOZY collection) to our new showroom in Atlanta!  Phew…shipment is off and should be there in 5 days.  I will go to Atlanta to show the collection in mid July.  Am so excited!

P.P.S. Now that the shipment to Atlanta is off, I have to make all of the samples all over again for New York (we show about 100+ pillows at the New York International Gift Fair in August)…this means buying new linen, having each of the designs and colors ways (almost 40) hand screen printed again and then having pillows sewn (the owner of my sewing workroom has gone missing…I think she is really busy and I haven’t heard from her in days…help.), and then we have to get everything including all of the throws to New York.  We still have to get our swatch books finished off too…we’ve already sent dozens of yards to the swatch book place!  Oh did I mention we are doing new throws, new cotton pillows and more!  Oh and I’ve got to figure out a photo shoot for the new products too….hmmmm….oh boy….oy vey…so much to do…so little time…my new saying is “whistle while you work or else you might cry!”.  Whistle…whistle!!!!

    I needed this Internet vacation. Great way to start Monday. Will you ever come to the Dallas Market? I’d love to see your ‘wares’ in person.

    I’ve been dreaming of this vacay all year and I think my husband may be leaning in the same direction. This is great inspiration and will definitely help my bid for the French Riviera! Thanks for sharing.
