"The hotel's signature accommodation, the Missoni Suite, was name-checked in Drake's 2022 song Middle of the Ocean - "I'm in the Missoni room at the Byblos" - which has recently gained viral popularity via TikTok, pulling a new, younger set of eyes toward the Côte d'Azur fixture."
"The Missoni Suite occupies the former balcony bar seen in a 1971 photograph of Mick Jagger during his honeymoon with Bianca Jagger, and more recently, in 2020, appeared in season three of Sky Atlantic drama Riviera, starring Julia Stiles, Rupert Graves, Poppy Delivigne, and Jack Fox."
"Originally unveiled for the hotel's 50th anniversary, the two-bedroom suite was designed by Rosita Missoni and Mireille Chevanne. Interiors lean heavily, almost dizzyingly, into the Maison's signature zigzag patterns, with the entirety of the space dressed in a 1970s palette."
Hotel Byblos, built in 1965 by Jean-Prosper Gay-Para as part of Groupe Floirat, maintains its hedonistic village aesthetic with sun-washed buildings and cobbled paths. The property recently surged in relevance after Drake mentioned the Missoni Suite in his 2022 song "Middle of the Ocean," which went viral on TikTok, attracting younger guests to the Côte d'Azur. The Missoni Suite, designed by Rosita Missoni and Mireille Chevanne, features signature zigzag patterns and 1970s styling. The hotel continues expanding with eight new suites by Laura Gonzalez in Mediterranean blues, four redesigned rooms by Wanda Jelmini, a new Technogym fitness centre, and expanded spa treatments at Byblos Spa by Sisley.
