Effortless, imperceptible service and hospitality are the ultimate luxury, and at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, your welcome is as warm and enveloping as a Mediterranean summer's night. The spectacular setting is only enhanced by the courteous and ubiquitous hotel staff, who are there to anticipate your every need. In this book, author François Simon introduces the valets, the porters, the decorators, the florists and groundskeepers, the chefs and the bartenders, the swim and tennis pros, and all the rest, who keep the hotel running as smoothly as a fine Swiss watch. AUTHOR: François Simon is a reporter at Le Figaro in Paris and is the author of numerous books, including two previous volumes on the Hotel du Cap-Eden- Roc for Assouline. ILLUSTRATIONS 100
