Riviera
Missoni Suite, Hotel Byblos
Riviera is a thrilling drama on Sky Atlantic, starring Julia Stiles, Poppy Delevingne, Jack Fox and Rupert Graves. Hotel Byblos has been at the heart of the French Riviera landscape for over 50 years. Originally built by Lebanese businessman Jean-Prosper Gay-Para, in an attempt to woo French actress Brigitte Bardot in 1967, the hotel was then sold to French businessman Sylvain Floirat, and is still run by that same family today (fourth generation). The hotel and its presidential suite, The Missoni Suite, acts as a glamorous backdrop for a couple of Riviera's episodes. The suite was unveiled in 2017 in celebration of the hotel's 50th anniversary and is decorated with fabrics and furnishing from fashion house Missoni, with whom the hotel has an ongoing partnership.
The suite starts from 4,260 per night in low season.
