A rare gem has just arrived on the market, a €40 million (US $43.4 million) penthouse atop the iconic Le Provençal, a former Art Deco hotel that once attracted luminaries such as Coco Chanel, Ernest Hemingway, and Edith Piaf. Originally constructed in the mid-1920s by American millionaire Frank Jay Gould, this storied residence in Juan-les-Pins, French Riviera, has been masterfully transformed into a luxurious three-level penthouse by British developer Caudwell.
Commanding over 9,000 square feet and accessed via a private elevator, the penthouse occupies the building’s east wing across the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors. Inspired by the golden days of the Riviera, the interiors embrace the vibrancy and elegance of the era. The primary suite, with its dual bathrooms, dressing rooms, and private terrace, captures the Riviera's pink hues and the glamorous style of visitors such as Elizabeth Taylor.
The property’s amenities include a family room, home cinema, gym, kitchen and breakfast room, sculptural staircase, and spacious living spaces, all set against the breathtaking Riviera views. The exterior doesn’t disappoint either, with over 3,789 square feet of terraces, a private pool, and secure parking for six vehicles.
At Le Provençal, every element speaks to refined elegance. As Lars Christiaanse, group director of sales, states: “The penthouses at Le Provençal are the jewels in the development’s crown,” offering unmatched terraces, pools, and sweeping vistas.
