Hotel: Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc

Charlize Theron has reportedly been seen staying at the old-world styled hotel that feels as though you have stepped back in time along the French Riviera, through its pale blue window shutters and cliff side view of the water. A lingering beauty that draws hollywood a little closer by its intimate privacy and taste.

Hotel: Mount Nelson, A Belmond

Returning back to her South African roots, Charlize Theron frequents the hotel referred to as “Nellie,” by the locals. Well known for its unique pastel pink exterior, manicured gardens and afternoon tea. Surrounded by the remarkable landscape of South Africa, Mount Nelson offers once in a lifetime experiences, like riding through the jaw dropping scenery in classic cars, whale watching, and helicopter excursions to witness the country from above.

Hotel Il Pellicano

Imagine being kissed by the Tuscan sun overlooking the Argentario coast. Charlize Theron has been giving us inspiration for her taste in resorts, and this one did not disappoint. Hotel Il Pellicano brings the postcard to a reality through its accents of red colors, aged stone and pool overlooking the sea. This is the place that brings life to the Tuscan home.
