‘The White Lotus’ Season 4 Will Take Place at Cannes Film Festival—and Be Filmed at These Glamorous Hotels
Can you say Cannes?
It’s official: As the rumor mill had already speculated, The White Lotus season four will be set at the Cannes Film Festival. Even better news for fans? Filming has now begun, according to a press release by HBO. The synopsis is: “The fourth season will follow a new group of White Lotus hotel guests and employees over the span of a week, taking place during the Cannes Film Festival.”
So it’s only fitting that Mike White’s hit show will film at some of the top hotels that attract a host of celebrities, models, and filmmaker attendees of the festival, including the Hôtel Martinez, which will serve as “The White Lotus Cannes” in the show. Martinez is a favorite of the fashion world (Bella Hadid has been spotted there, among many other stars, many times), and perhaps the perfect starry setting for what is sure to be a juicy new iteration of The White Lotus.
Variety previously reported that the new season of the show will shoot at the Airelles Château de la Messardière, a 19th-century castle in the French Riviera, which will serve as “The White Lotus du Cap,” along with other properties in the area, Paris, and Monaco. Named one of Vogue’s best hotels in the South of France, the Château is a five-star Airelles property that was originally built as a wedding gift from a wealthy cognac merchant to his daughter.
With its many acres and hilltop views of the Saint-Tropez Bay, Ramatuelle vineyards, and the beaches of Pampelonne, it has long been a popular jet-set destination. Today, the hotel boasts a collection of Rolls-Royce (with chauffeurs, of course) that take guests to explore the region, whether to town or to the beach club. There is also a lush tennis court, a large central swimming pool, and extensive gardens. Plenty of space for the chaos, intrigue, sex, and shenanigans fans can expect from the White Lotus guests and staff.
