The hotel was originally constructed as a summer villa for Empress Eugénie and Emperor Napoleon III beginning in 1854, with initial architect Hippolyte Durand succeeded by Louis-Auguste Couvrechef. The villa was enlarged and refined over subsequent years. In 1880, following the fall of the imperial dynasty, the villa was sold and converted into a hotel casino.

The rebuilt hotel was completed in 1905. The hotel contained three hundred rooms and apartments. The hotel is managed by Hyatt.
