"Though we draw inspiration from our history, Le Negresco is always contemporary. Madame Augier was a visionary and a campaigner, and her approach put this hotel on the map. What's more, Madame was something of an eccentric and a free spirit. Her determination gave birth to a unique venue, a heritage hotel, and a myth that we owe to ourselves to nurture and share. Le Negresco: a legacy and a legend."
