Le Palais Maeterlinck ou la renaissance d’une légende
/dans Immobilier /par Florence BernardinSotheby’s International Realty France – Monaco oversees the transformation of historic Palais Maeterlinck into state-of-the-art residences. In the 1920s, French aristocrat Count of Milléant began to realize his dream of building a high-society resort in Nice as a rival to nearby Monte-Carlo that had attracted the ‘beau monde’ for decades. Following the deaths of Maeterlinck and his wife, his home eventually became a renowned Grand Hotel, ‘Palais Materlinck’. Operations ceased in 2008, and in 2012, Palais Maeterlinck was acquired by visionary Czech billionaire Radovan Vitek and his company CPI with the intention of transforming the storied property into 19 luxury residences without equal in Europe. Alexander Kraft, Chairman & CEO of Sotheby’s International Realty France – Monaco, explains : “Located in one of the world’s most prestigious locations on the French Côte d’Azur on the Cap de Nice, the magnificent oceanfront estate offers total privacy, security and breathtaking 180° views of the Mediterranean. Its residents will not only benefit from world-class amenities, but will also have the option, for the first time ever, to have their private home exclusively styled and furnished in Ralph Lauren Home.” This project offers a unique opportunity to acquire a real « piece » of history. The official launch of Palais Maeterlinck will take place on May 14, 2013…
