<\/div>\nPart of the family-run Groupe Floirat, Hotel Byblos was built in 1965 by Jean-Prosper Gay-Para, reportedly to impress Brigitte Bardot. Despite multiple renovations, the property still feels like a small, yet hedonistic, village of sun-washed buildings, linked by winding cobbled paths \u2013 including a direct route to the famed late-night Les Caves du Roy.\u00a0<\/p>\n Its latest surge in relevance, though, comes from elsewhere. The hotel\u2019s signature accommodation, the Missoni Suite<\/a> (now renovated and named The Presidential Suite), was name-checked in Drake\u2019s 2022 song Middle of the Ocean <\/em>\u2013 \u201cI\u2019m in the Missoni room at the Byblos\u201d \u2013 which has recently gained viral popularity via TikTok, pulling a new, younger set of eyes toward the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur fixture.<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting that even before TikTok, the space had cultural weight. The suite occupies the former balcony bar seen in a 1971 photograph of Mick Jagger during his honeymoon with Bianca Jagger, and more recently, in 2020, appeared in season three of Sky Atlantic drama Riviera<\/em>, starring Julia Stiles, Rupert Graves, Poppy Delivigne, and Jack Fox.<\/p>\n As the Missoni Suite, the space was certainly deserving of attention. Originally unveiled for the hotel\u2019s 50th anniversary, the two-bedroom suite was designed by Rosita Missoni and Mireille Chevanne. Interiors leant heavily, almost dizzyingly, into the Maison\u2019s signature zigzag patterns, with the entirety of the space dressed in a 1970s palette.\u00a0<\/p>\n This summer, it will be joined by eight new suites designed by Laura Gonzalez. This set adds to the bold, color-driven schemes she debuted in her 2024 collaboration<\/a> with the hotel, brought to life in a palette of Mediterranean blues. Elsewhere, four rooms in the Bastide have been redesigned by Wanda Jelmini.\u00a0<\/p>\n The updates will stretch beyond interiors \u2013 guests of Hotel Byblos will also be able to enjoy a new fitness centre, with equipment by Technogym. The menu at the Byblos Spa by Sisley is expanding too, adding a men\u2019s treatment, plus reflexology and lymphatic drainage treatments.<\/p>\n A new on-site boutique near the pool will also launch this season, extending the hotel\u2019s e-commerce offering<\/a> with limited-edition pieces and collaborations<\/a>. These include a third capsule with Orlebar Brown<\/a>, alongside designs from Pinel & Pinel<\/a> and Hadoro<\/a>. For something fun and collectible, the shop will stock Les Caves du Roy shot glasses, finished in black grained leather with copper detailing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although the musical artists\u2019 go-to Missoni Suite at Hotel Byblos is no longer available, there are plenty of reasons not to mind.\u00a0 Part of the family-run Groupe Floirat, Hotel Byblos was built in 1965 by Jean-Prosper Gay-Para, reportedly to impress Brigitte Bardot.
