Hôtel La Ponche

Founded in 1938, the legendary Hotel La Ponche invites you to an exceptional culinary experience, noon and evening, under the leadership of Michelin-starred Chef Thomas Danigo. Its legendary terrace, greener than ever, welcomes you in a natural setting. Inside, the dining room offers a breathtaking view of the sea and is decorated with murals by Elvira Solana. The bar, called “Saint-Germain-des-Prés”, was completely redesigned by Fabrizio Casiraghi. Between mirror walls, American walnut woodwork, checkered tiles and a fireplace, this intimate space, decorated with works by Jacques Cordier and a selection of books, transports you to the heart of La Dolce Vita.
