INSIDE THE RIVIERA SUITE

There are rooms with a view, and then there is the Riviera Suite. Perched on the rooftop of Les Roches Rouges in Saint-Raphaël, this 260 m² residence — 135 m² of interior and 125 m² of panoramic terraces — arrives as something closer to a private apartment than a hotel room. Designed by Atelier Saint-Lazare and opening in 2026, it is a bold architectural statement rooted in the modernist spirit of the Côte d'Azur. Sky above. Sea below. Everything else falls away.

WHAT MAKES THE RIVIERA SUITE DIFFERENT?

The suite has its own entrance. From the moment you arrive, the experience is deliberately apart — a world set slightly aside from the hotel below. Atelier Saint-Lazare, the Paris-based studio founded by Antoine Ricardou and Clémentine Larroumet, conceived the space as a habitable sculpture: something to be lived in, not simply admired.
At the centre of it all is a curved concrete screen, inspired by the work of sculptor Richard Serra. It moves through the space with quiet authority — partition, headboard, scenographic feature — dividing and connecting in equal measure. Structure without rigidity. Form without fuss.

HOW DOES THE INTERIOR CONNECT TO THE SEA?

Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open the suite entirely to the outside. Terracotta floors run continuously from bedroom to terrace, blurring the threshold between interior and exterior. The sculptural concrete wall, warm stone and the ever-present horizon create a conversation between materials and landscape that feels, above all, inevitable.
The terraces, landscaped by Atelier Lamarck, include a pool and an outdoor shower. From first light to the last glow over the Mediterranean, the view holds.

A DIALOGUE WITH THE MODERNIST RIVIERA

The suite draws on the architectural memory of the 1930s Côte d'Azur — the grand rooftop terraces that dissolved into sky, the quiet radicalism of houses that refused to separate inside from outside. Eileen Gray's Villa E-1027 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is a conscious reference point: timeless, intimate, inseparable from its setting.
That same spirit runs through the art and furniture collected for the space. Pieces by Pierre Chapo, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Paulin sit alongside a wall lamp by Guy Bareff, a plaster bas-relief and a lithograph by Alain Bonnefoit. Most of the artists and artisans involved are local. The colour palette — white, terracotta, warm stone — is of the South. Tactile, grounded, quietly luminous.

WHO IS THE RIVIERA SUITE FOR?

The Riviera Suite accommodates up to four people for private stays — two adults and up to three children, or four adults. Its multifunctional spaces can equally host cocktail gatherings, dinners or private events for several dozen guests, transitioning between intimacy and occasion with ease.

A Sustainable Architecture

The project was built on the principle of less is more. Existing materials were reused wherever possible. Terracotta, stone, wood and concrete were sourced predominantly from the region. The landscaped roof terrace was designed for minimal water use. Windows and doors were replaced with high-performance, energy-efficient models. Technical systems — acoustics, ventilation, energy — were integrated discreetly, invisibly.
Nothing is there without reason. Nothing is wasted.
