Can you say Cannes<\/em>?<\/p>\n It\u2019s official: As the rumor mill had already speculated, The White Lotus<\/em> 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: \u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n So it\u2019s only fitting that Mike White\u2019s 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 H\u00f4tel Martinez, which will serve as \u201cThe White Lotus Cannes\u201d in the show. Martinez is a favorite of the fashion world (Bella Hadid has been spotted there<\/a>, 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<\/em>.<\/p>\n Variety<\/em><\/a> previously reported that the new season of the show will shoot at the Airelles Ch\u00e2teau de la Messardi\u00e8re<\/a>, a 19th-century castle in the French Riviera, which will serve as \u201cThe White Lotus du Cap,\u201d along with other properties in the area, Paris, and Monaco. Named one of Vogue<\/em>\u2019s best hotels in the South of France<\/a>, the Ch\u00e2teau<\/a> is a five-star Airelles property that was originally built as a wedding gift from a wealthy cognac merchant to his daughter.<\/p>\n A suite at Cha\u0302teau de la Messardie\u0300re.<\/p>\n <\/span>Photo: Ren\u00e9e Kemps<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 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<\/em> guests and staff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/assets.vogue.com\/photos\/69616c452e97b51ab9f95b00\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Suite%2520Victoire-Chambre-1.jpg\"\/)
