La Colombe D'Or Hotel, St Paul de Vence
Friendly boutique hotel with an impressive art collection
Often called the most beautiful inn in France, this world famous hotel enjoys a unique location, and unites the Provençal way of life with an amazing and unique private modern art collection.
This hotel started life in 1920 as “Chez Robinson”, a café bar with an open air terrace where people would dance at weekends. It soon attracted characters from the neighbourhood, which gave Paul the idea to extend and reopen as the Colombe d’Or, an inn of three rooms. The friendly atmosphere together with Paul’s deep interest in the arts brought the visit of many artists and the walls were soon covered by paintings, which often were exchanged for a stay or a few meals.
Today it is a lovely hotel with 13 rooms and 12 suites and an infamous art collection, including a colourful ceramic by Fernand Leger for the terrace. The art collection has grown years after years until today; the latest work installed is a large ceramic by the Irish artist Sean Scully for the swimming pool area.
The hotel is closed from end of October until Christmas.
