Burberry has partnered with Hôtel Belles Rives on the French Riviera to launch the Burberry x Hôtel Belles Rives Beach Club. This strategic initiative represents a seasonal takeover of the hotel's beach club and terraces.
The Burberry x Hôtel Belles Rives Beach Club refreshes the property's Art Deco interiors with the iconic luxury label's signature check pattern in the hotel's distinctive blue. This effectively extends the design to the original 1920s elevator, private jetty, and beach club doors. The collaboration draws on literary history, as the hotel was once home to F. Scott Fitzgerald, who began writing Tender is the Night there. Coincidentally, the protagonist wears a Burberry coat.
Visitors can enjoy Burberry-branded ice lollies on the terrace, watch sunsets at The Fitzgerald Bar, and participate in waterskiing experiences in the bay where the sport is said to have originated.
