As a part of its recent renovations, Hôtel Majestic Barrière launched a new "cinema-inspired" Presidential suite, The Mélodie Suite, which pays tribute to the 1963 classic film Mélodie en Sous-sol (“Any Number Can Win”), filmed at the hotel, starring French actors Alain Delon and Jean Gabin.
Guests in the Mélodie Suite will enjoy stunning views of the Bay of Cannes, the Lerin Isles and the Esteral massif from the seventh floor of the hotel’s east wing. This rotunda-crowned presidential suite offers guests 1,076 square feet of absolute luxury comprised of a main lounge, two side lounges, and two bedrooms with in-suite pink marble bathrooms. With design accents in various shades of blue, the suite takes inspiration from the sapphire waters of the Côte d'Azur. Photos with scenes from the movie are on display throughout the suite, mounted on blue tinted mirrors. The suite’s open layout and crescent shaped floor-to-ceiling bay window flood the room with light to create an open and inviting space. The Mélodie Suite is the third suite added to the Majestic Hotel collection, along with the Dior Suite and the Majestic Suite.
French interior designer and architect Nathalie Ryan was responsible for the design of the Melodie Suite. Nathalie was the director of architecture at Dior for over a decade, creating 250 boutiques around the world before setting up her own agency, KIREI STUDIO. She began working with the Barrière group in 2010, when she created the Dior suite at the Hôtel Majestic Barrière. Nathalie is motivated by a respect to retain the history and soul of the buildings themselves, with their time-honored conventions and character, while at the same time creating a decor in keeping with today’s world.
