Love at first sight in 1863

Cap-Eden-Roc’s story dates back to 1863 with Hyppolite de Villemessant, French journalist and founder of Le Figaro. He decided to create a peaceful oasis where artists and writers could relax and ease the pressure brought on by the constant demands of their creativity. His idea was to create a coastal safe haven for these intellectuals to enjoy for as long as they wished, with the creation of the Villa Soleil in 1870.

In 1887, a young hotelier from Piémont, Antoine Sella, fell in love with the hotel. It would take Sella two years to fully renovate the establishment. In January 1889, the Grand Hotel du Cap opened its doors. By 1900, the Grand Hotel du Cap began attracting upscale guests.

In 1964, as Rudolf-August and Maja Oetker sailed along the Mediterranean, they passed a beautiful mansion in Cap d’Antibes, this being of course the Grand Hotel du Cap. It was love at first sight. Five years later, Mr. von Boch, owner of the company Villeroy & Boch and avid guest of the hotel, advised his friend, Rudolf-August Oetker, that the establishment was for sale and talked him into purchasing the exceptional hotel.

André Sella wanted to sell the property to someone who shared the same culture and who would carry on the family tradition and preserve the spirit of the hotel. In 1969, Maja and Rudolf-August Oetker met with André Sella. Instantly, a relationship of respect and appreciation blossomed between the two men and that same year, Mr. Rudolf-August Oetker would take possession of the precious gem.
