Villa Miraé
Antibes, France · Independent · Accessible Luxury
Gilbert Irondelle, whose father ran the Eden Roc for fifty years, turned an Andalusian villa on Cap d'Antibes into the Hôtel Impérial Garoupe in the mid-1990s. Inwood Hotels bought that house in 2023 and reopened it in May 2025 as Villa Miraé, at 770 Chemin de la Garoupe, with interiors by Oscar Lucien Ono. Mauro Colagreco, the chef of Mirazur in Menton, cooks at Amarines and at the more casual Miraé, both beside a pool stepped toward the sea. The hotel is a Relais & Châteaux member, and it still shuts for the winter.
- 43 rooms
- Opened 1995
- Neighborhood: Cap d'Antibes
- Rooms from 323 sq ft (30 m²)

About Villa Miraé
- The new house has thirty-five rooms and eight suites, in linen, Murano glass, and Burgundy stone, with frescoes and mosaics. Irondelle's hotel was smaller: thirty rooms and four suites around a Seville patio, and no two rooms matched.
- The first guests under the new name arrived on 7 May 2025, and the inauguration followed on 26 June, with Inwood's Catherine Duvot-Cohen and Colagreco both speaking. The company changed its legal name to Hôtel Villa Miraé that April.
- Entry-level rooms start at 323 sq ft (30 m²).
History
In the mid-1990s Gilbert Irondelle, whose father had been general manager of the Eden Roc for fifty years, found an Andalusian villa in a hectare and a half of garden at 770 Chemin de la Garoupe and opened it as the Hôtel Impérial Garoupe. He kept the architecture, wrapped about thirty rooms and four suites around a Seville patio, and brought furniture home from his trips. It joined Relais & Châteaux and closed each year from November to April.
Inwood Hotels bought it in 2023. Oscar Lucien Ono of Maison Numéro 20 redid the interiors, and the house reopened in May 2025 as Villa Miraé, still Relais & Châteaux, with thirty-five rooms and eight suites. Mauro Colagreco took the two kitchens, Amarines and Miraé. The first guests came on 7 May 2025. The inauguration was 26 June. In April 2025 the owning company changed its legal name to Hôtel Villa Miraé. The winter closing survived the new name: in 2026 the season opened again on 17 April.

770 Chemin de la Garoupe, 06160 Cap d'Antibes, a short walk from the beach at La Garoupe. Cap d'Antibes sits inside the commune of Antibes. This is the Cap, not the old town and not Juan-les-Pins.
