Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc

A growing number of luxury hotels, farm shops, and beauty spots across Europe, the US, and Japan are banning photography and photoshoots, driven by concerns that influencer activity is disrupting the experience for other guests and eroding privacy. The five-star Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes now requires permission for any photoshoot, while smaller venues like the Hollies farm shop in Cheshire restrict filming during peak hours. The trend reflects a broader shift away from documenting every moment and toward protecting the character of hospitality spaces.
