Built originally as a private mansion Ville Soleil (Villa of the Sun) in 1863, the Hotel du Cap, in Antibes
antibes Hotel du Cap on the French Riviera, first opened its doors to guests in 1870.
Gerald and Sara Murphy, a young American couple who
antibes had expatriated to France in the 1920s, once rented the antibes 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
antibes Alain Bernard the wealthy. Cash only was accepted though most guests wired money ahead of their stay.
In 2006 this policy was antibes finally dropped.
. With the Murphys came many legendary writers and artists of the Lost Generation, including F.
Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway.
The hotel was for many years famously known for not accepting any kinds of credit cards.
