The Grand-Hôtel was built in 1908 at the tip of the cape for a moneyed international clientele, when Saint-Jean was still a hamlet of Villefranche. In the 1930s a cove was blasted out of the rocks for bathing and a seawater pool of Olympic size was built by the shore.

It is run today by Four Seasons. Its gastronomic restaurant, Le Cap, holds one MICHELIN star in the 2026 guide.
