If you’d like to walk in the footsteps of a Jazz and music legend, and enjoy the same stunning views she did, then this new listing along the French Riviera is a must-see. Located in the masterfully transformed and iconic Le Provençal, which launched sales this year and was previously known as Hotel Provençal, the residence formerly hosted Ella Fitzgerald.
During the 1960s, Fitzgerald came to the hotel four times when performing at the Jazz-à-Juan music festival and stayed in large suites on this floor during two of her visits. In a meticulous 1o-year process to revive the structure and turn it into an unrivaled Cote d’Azur luxury residential building, Caudwell transformed these suites carefully along with the rest of the building.
Honoring this heritage, one of the residences where the “Queen of Jazz” stayed has now been unveiled by the developer with interiors that harken to her glamour and the shimmering South of France era in which she visited.
The three-bedroom condo, spanning 2,172 square feet, is asking €7.75 million, roughly $9.7 million. It welcomes you with a vast, open living space and walls of glass doors that allow for rich ocean views, which, of course, Fitzgerald once took in from the same exact spot. The long, private terrace immediately beckons, but some lovely sights await further inside as well.
Warm tones and plush textures, subtle gold touches, and luxuriant lighting nod to the golden age of Jazz and the French Riviera while embracing the way we live today. The primary suite’s bathroom is particularly alluring, almost appearing like a 21st-century twist on an Old Hollywood dressing room. The Caudwell team is handling all sales and tours of Le Provençal, which is nearly 40% sold, if you’d like to see this unique model residence in person.
The 10-story, 256,000-square-foot structure itself, built in 1926-1927, has a historic and protected exterior that Caudwell restored diligently. Inside, the developer tapped Affine Design to infuse the 41 residences and communal spaces—such as the cinema room, health spa, and central rotunda—with modernized Art Deco flair and custom details to give Le Provençal renewed beauty worthy of its opulent past and exciting future.
