Best Western Premier Collection Ilot du Golf is part of the story of La Tour Group, a family-owned company from Alsace with expertise in both construction and hospitality.
Founded by Claude KESSER and now led alongside his two sons, Julien and Florent, the group develops projects where exceptional quality and meticulous attention to detail are at the heart of everything they do. Combining expertise in construction with a passion for hospitality allows the family to create destinations designed entirely around the guest experience.
While Florent KESSER oversees the construction division, CKD, Julien KESSER leads La Tour Collection, the group's hospitality and restaurant division. Together, they share a common ambition: to create elegant, welcoming places where every detail has been carefully considered from the earliest stages of design and construction to provide guests with an exceptional stay.
Surrounded by nature and overlooking the tranquil waters of the Siagne River, Best Western Premier Collection Ilot du Golf was born from a simple ambition: to create a place where guests instantly feel at home.
Owned by the KESSER family, hoteliers originally from Alsace in eastern France, the hotel is the result of a genuine love affair with this unique riverside location in Mandelieu-la-Napoule.
The story of Ilot du Golf began with the discovery of an exceptional setting.
Situated on the banks of the Siagne River, the property already enjoyed a remarkable location—right in the heart of Mandelieu-la-Napoule, yet surrounded by peaceful gardens offering a true sense of tranquillity.
Captivated by the site's exceptional potential, Mr and Mrs KESSER acquired the hotel in 2017 with a clear vision: to reveal the full beauty of this unique location.
After several years of operation, an ambitious transformation project was launched, completely redesigning the property while preserving its original charm.
Completely rebuilt on its original foundations, the hotel now showcases contemporary architecture and refined interior design, where modern lines and natural materials blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape.
Throughout the project, one principle remained constant: preserving the spirit of the location while providing the comfort and quality expected from a modern four-star hotel.
This hotel holds a special place within the family's story. Developed with genuine passion and respect for its surroundings, every detail has been carefully designed to create a welcoming, harmonious destination dedicated entirely to guests' comfort and well-being.
Julien KESSER oversees the hospitality division of La Tour Collection and plays a key role in the development of the group's hotels and restaurants.
Driven by a genuine passion for hospitality, he strives to ensure that every property delivers exceptional service, meticulous attention to detail and an authentic guest experience.
Combining family tradition with a contemporary vision, Julien continues to develop elegant, welcoming destinations where every stay is defined by comfort, sincerity and well-being.
Beyond its architecture and exceptional setting, Ilot du Golf is defined by its approach to hospitality.
The hotel embraces the spirit of a boutique property where personal attention remains at the heart of every stay.
Thoughtful, personalised service combined with the team's local expertise creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere where every guest feels genuinely cared for—offering a true home away from home.
From the moment guests arrive, Best Western Premier Collection Ilot du Golf offers a peaceful retreat where comfort and tranquillity take centre stage.
Whether travelling alone, as a couple, with family or on business, every stay is designed as an opportunity to disconnect from everyday life and embrace the relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle. Soft interior design, carefully selected natural materials and thoughtfully designed spaces create an atmosphere of serenity throughout the hotel.
The experience continues with the hotel's private marina, located just steps from the guest rooms, where visitors can embark on boat trips along the Siagne River or discover the stunning Lérins Islands.
From this elegant four-star hotel near Cannes, guests can explore the charming village of Mandelieu-la-Napoule, the spectacular coastline and the surrounding countryside. Golf enthusiasts will also appreciate the hotel's exceptional location, with two prestigious golf courses only minutes away and more than ten additional courses within a 35-kilometre radius.
