HOTEL FEATURES

What to expect: A member of the Leading Hotels of the World, this family establishment was built in 1926. Opulent lobby decor showcases tapestries, Neo-classical lusters, and chandeliers. Thanks to celebrities who visit from all over the world, the hotel is a popular choice during film, music or advertising festivals, while at other times it draws well-heeled leisure travelers and conference-goers.

Amenity highlights: A private entry leads to the Michelin-two-star-rated La Villa des Lys, where Provencal cuisine is served with a twist. Inspired by its famous namesake on the Champs-Elysées, the Fouquet is a traditional brewery of prestige where the head barman offers a specially-designated selection of champagne cocktails (open daily). Other on-site amenities include a private sandy beach and outdoor heated swimming pool decorated with enamel of Murano; surcharges apply.

Insider tip: Several blocks away from the glamour of the Majestic Barriere lies a small corner of undisturbed Provence. In the Allées de la Liberté, pastis-drinking locals with weather-beaten faces play pétanque, and every morning a flower market fills the square.
