A one-of-a-kind members' club in the heart of the French Riviera
As part of the renovation of the iconic Palm Beach complex in Cannes, architecture and design firm Caprini & Pellerin has crafted the Jean-Paul, the first members’ bar on the French Riviera. Inspired by the building’s cinematic legacy the architects Jerry Pellerin and Kevin Caprini envisioned the Jean- Paul Members’ Bar as a hidden gem within Palm Beach.



The space evokes the Riviera’s golden age, offering guests a journey back to the opulence of the Roaring Twenties. Nestled in the vibrant heart of the Côte d’Azur and surrounded by a community of prestigious brands, fine dining, and luxury establishments, the Jean-Paul Members’ Bar embodies the essence of an exclusive club, reserved for a discerning epicurean clientele.
Much like a hidden speakeasy, it stirs curiosity and allure. Accessible through a concealed door, only glimpses of its tinted glass and checkered ceiling are visible from the outside. Yet, its full charm unfolds exclusively for privileged guests who step inside.

Inspired by the legendary Hemingway Bar, this intimate, romantic setting features padded leather and sepia-toned lighting. A contemporary take on the speakeasy, the space balances a masculine vintage aesthetic with refined details and carefully chosen materials. The cosy atmosphere is amplified by the alcoves formed with decorative screens, combining shimmering straw marquetry and inlays of rare woods, a real mise-en-scène of secret notes.
Round alabaster wall lights accentuate the cornices beneath a pewter frieze, framing a striking checkered ceiling in marbled glass that subtly recalls a backgammon board. Furniture specially designed for the venue To enhance the exclusivity of the space and recall the ambiance of clandestine bars.

The first of its kind on the Côte d’Azur, the Palm Beach Members’ Club embodies the essence of an exclusive retreat, reserved for a select few. Membership offers a range of privileges, including access to premier Riviera venues, the spa and wellness center with a seafront view, bespoke concierge services, and the Jean-Paul Members’ Bar, thoughtfully designed to enhance their experience.
