Originally opened in 1914, Como Le Beauvallon has reopened on the Côte d’Azur courtesy of Como Hotels & Resorts. Once a celebrated Belle Époque palace, the 42-room landmark has been reimagined as a refined Riviera sanctuary where historic grandeur, considered design and thoughtful gastronomy converge.

Central to the new chapter is signature restaurant Beauvallon Sur Mer by Yannick Alléno – the first beach club restaurant for the chef, who’s also taken charge of the culinary vision for the entire dining experience at the hotel. And with concepts unfolding from breakfast till evening, the hotel is being positioned as one of the Riviera’s defining gastronomic destinations for summer 2026.

For Beauvallon Sur Mer by Yannick Alléno, the chef draws on the depth and precision of Southeast Asian culinary traditions, bringing them into conversation with the bright flavours of the Mediterranean. The result is a confident, contemporary dialogue expressed through generous sharing plates and signature dishes such as yellowtail tartare with peanuts and Thai basil ice cream, sea bass crudo marinated in baijiu with green papaya Som Tum style, and seared tuna steak served with Kampot pepper sauce.

Alternative dining awaits in the hotel building, where the Winter Garden offers all day dining. Here, Chef Alléno’s Mediterranean dishes with Niçoise accents meet French classics in a Belle Époque spirit, enjoyed from breakfast through to dinner in the restaurant, or on the terrace overlooking the Provençal hills. As the day unfolds, the atmosphere shifts to the Riviera Terrace, an open air lounge designed by Paola Navone of Milan’s Otto Studio, where sweeping views of the gulf can be enjoyed with cocktails and refined snacks.

“The rebirth of COMO Le Beauvallon reflects our ambition to invest France’s iconic destinations through a contemporary vision of hospitality. Our collaboration with Yannick Alléno brings that long term vision to life, transforming COMO Le Beauvallon into a true culinary destination,” says Olivier Jolivet, CEO of COMO Holdings.
