The new location work gives White Lotus Season 4 a different visual identity from previous seasons.

Both locations help establish the season’s French Riviera setting without revealing major story details.
- White Lotus Cannes: The production added a new Art Deco-inspired logo, a recreated check-in desk, branded towels, bags, furniture, and other hotel details.
