Slow living in Provence
Soft tones, natural materials, refined, contemporary design… From the moment you enter the entrance and the common areas, the atmosphere of La Bastide de Mougins envelops you in a bubble of calm and relaxation.
La Bastide was designed around the concepts of reconnecting with oneself and slow living in Provence,” explains new manager Raphaële Guignard, who has come from Mercure Cavaillon to head up this new hotel project. The hotel is now a franchisee of Tribute Portfolio, an upscale brand of the Marriott Group with just 4 addresses in France, in Paris and here. What sets this collection apart is that each hotel retains a unique identity, far removed from standardized chains. The renovation work and new decor were entrusted to a specialized firm and developed around Provencal elegance, with the garden with its lemon and orange trees as the main inspiration. Matching tones of ochre and terracotta are found throughout the establishment, along with bright, open spaces… ”
A garden, a veritable haven of serenity planted with Mediterranean essences, surrounds the 51 rooms (including 4 junior suites and suites), all with private terraces.
On the restaurant side, next to the sublime swimming pool, the Pool House offers a light, summery menu. The main restaurant, La Table de la Bastide, with its indoor dining room and terrace, offers bistronomic cuisine with a southern flair. The ultimate aim is ” to establish the establishment as a good local restaurant and not just a hotel “, explains management.
A move upmarket, an international clientele
On the management side, almost the entire team has been replaced, and the reception area has been redesigned, with personalized service and a gradual move upmarket. All of which is sure to delight the many customers who turned out for this first season.
We have a predominantly international clientele, with loyal guests from the old establishment curious to discover the changes made, but also many new customers, who came to us via the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program in particular,” explains the manager. Our aim is to win the loyalty of a high-end clientele in search of contemporary luxury and tailor-made experiences, who want to enjoy the calm of the Riviera, just a stone’s throw from the hustle and bustle of the coast”.
