At The Carlton, care mirrors light on the French Riviera. A luxury of each moment, varying its shades from dawn to dusk according each guests' wishes and desires.

Originally the private home of an Italian Duchess, in 2014 Esencia was transformed into 40 guest rooms and 3 villas with the help of entrepreneur and art collector Kevin Wendle. Rooms and common areas were expertly curated by Juan Carlos Gutierrez, who beautifully mixes mid-century modern furniture by Charlotte Perriand, Serge Mouille, and Pierre Jeanneret with jungle surroundings.

The Details

What makes it Kobu

This major renovation was entrusted to the care of architect Richard Lavelle, dubbed by historical monuments, and sublimated by interior designer Tristan Auer. For the rebirth of the Riviera icon, no detail was ovelooked. The most prestigious craftsmen were brought together to make the magic happen. 750 people and 450 companies worked on this project, blending all types of skills. A true celebration of know-how and passion for Métiers d’Art, combining under a same watchword: bringing heritage into modernity.
From the founding of the League of Nations to the filming of Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief, History and history mingle in a place of ever-renewed legend. When the past invites us to experience the present. A page of history on its own, the Carlton aims above all to host yours, whether inside its walls or out.
