Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc

An iconic Oetker Collection hotel on the tip of Cap d'Antibes, set in twenty two acres of gardens above the Mediterranean, taken for a Riviera wedding by buyout or by event space.

Last reviewed November 2025. Capacity and prices are indicative and should be confirmed with the venue.
Our verdict

One of the most storied addresses on the Riviera, with a legendary garden, a sea front pavilion and a level of service to match the price.

A full buyout is rare and costly and is offered only in shoulder windows, so most couples take a defined event space rather than the whole hotel.

Best for couples who want a glamorous, impeccably run Riviera wedding and the budget that comes with the name.

The quick answer

Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc sits on the tip of Cap d'Antibes between Cannes and Nice, an Oetker Collection landmark set in twenty two acres of pine shaded gardens above the sea. Weddings here run from a defined event space, with the Iles de Lerins ballroom seating up to around two hundred and a grand garden allee that holds a far larger ceremony, up to a full property buyout of around two hundred and fifty to three hundred guests when the hotel is privatised. Buyouts are offered only in the shoulder windows around April and late September, and the hotel requires a minimum stay of rooms to host an event.

The hotel

A legend on the tip of Cap d'Antibes.

Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc has stood on the point of Cap d'Antibes since the nineteenth century and remains one of the most famous hotels on the Cote d'Azur. Part of the Oetker Collection, it occupies twenty two acres of gardens that run down to the rocks and the sea, with the celebrated Eden-Roc pavilion and pool perched above the Mediterranean. The address carries real glamour and a long association with film festivals and grand celebrations, and the service is among the most polished in the south of France.

For a wedding the hotel offers a hierarchy of spaces. The Iles de Lerins ballroom seats up to around two hundred for a dinner and its terrace holds a cocktail reception, while the grand garden allee can stage a much larger ceremony of up to several hundred. A full privatisation of the property, with its rooms, suites and villas, allows a celebration of roughly two hundred and fifty to three hundred guests with the whole estate to yourselves, though that is a rare and expensive arrangement.

The honest truth is that this is a destination at the very top of the market. A full buyout is offered only in shoulder windows, typically around April and late September, and even an event in a single space requires a minimum commitment of rooms and a long lead time, with dates often secured a year or two ahead. For couples whose budget reaches it, few places on the Riviera deliver the same blend of setting, history and service. For those it does not, the island has many lovely venues at a fraction of the cost.

Cost and logistics

The practical things, told straight.

A wedding at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc is a top of the market Riviera celebration, whether in a single event space or a full property buyout. Treat every figure as indicative and confirm directly with the hotel.

What it costs

As an indicative November 2025 guide, a wedding here begins comfortably in the low six figures for an event in a defined space and rises well into seven figures for a full property buyout with rooms, catering and production over several days. The hotel requires a minimum number of rooms to be taken to host a private event. Confirm current pricing directly with the hotel.

Capacity and spaces

The Iles de Lerins ballroom seats up to around two hundred for dinner, its terrace holds a cocktail reception, and the grand garden allee can stage a larger ceremony. A full buyout of the property allows roughly two hundred and fifty to three hundred guests across the estate. Confirm the spaces for your numbers.

Getting there

Cap d'Antibes sits between Cannes and Nice, around half an hour from Nice Cote d'Azur airport by road, with helicopter and yacht arrivals common at this level. The hotel manages transfers, room blocks and the considerable logistics that a wedding of this scale involves.

When to marry here

The full buyout is offered only in the shoulder windows around April and late September, which also bring the most settled weather before and after the intense summer season. High summer on the Riviera is hot, glamorous and extremely busy, so the shoulder months suit a wedding here best.
