It doesn’t get better than the sweeping view of the Mediterranean Sea from a terrace at the 69-room, five-star Maybourne Riviera hotel, which is perched on a cliffside above Monaco in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. The property, which is owned by the parent company of Claridge’s, the Connaught, and the Berkeley in London, opened after a $113 million expansion and renovation of an existing hotel. Parisian architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte designed the striking revision of the original hotel building, which was once known as the Vista Palace Hotel & Beach Resort. Be mesmerized by the views and luxuriate in rooms designed by an all-star cast of talent, including the London-based design firm Rigby & Rigby, and designers Michelle Wu, Pierre Yovanovitch, and Bryan O’Sullivan. —Alexander Lobrano
