A Blend of History and Luxury
Nestled within 25 acres of meticulously maintained Italian-style gardens, Château de la Croix des Gardes offers its guests privacy, spectacular views of the Mediterranean, and is just a stone’s throw away from Cannes’ renowned Croisette. The estate’s luxurious amenities and interior design embody a perfect marriage of traditional elegance and contemporary comfort, featuring 16 beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms inspired by impressionist art, spread across the main house, cottages, and a pool penthouse.
The estate is not just about splendid accommodations; it also offers a wide range of entertainment options. Guests can enjoy a cozy cinema room, a private bowling alley, a newly constructed tennis court, and a grand ballroom that can host up to 100 people for grand celebrations. A dedicated Château Manager and Head Butler ensure that every guest’s stay is marked by the impeccable service Mandarin Oriental is known for.
Château de la Croix des Gardes holds a special place in the history of cinema and glamour, having served as the setting for Alfred Hitchcock’s 1955 classic “To Catch a Thief,” and continues to attract celebrities and fashion icons, including hosting a fashion show by Donatella Versace.
Ersev Demiroz, General Manager at Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes, and Thomas Bennett, Co-Founder & CEO of StayOne, both expressed their excitement about the addition of Château de la Croix des Gardes to their portfolio.
They highlighted the estate’s alignment with Mandarin Oriental’s ethos of providing exceptional service and guest experiences, underscoring its blend of elegance, history, and luxury as key to delivering extraordinary experiences for their discerning guests.
