Cheval Blanc St-Tropez
Saint-Tropez, France
La Bouillabaisse
Vibe
Yellow sun loungers line a private sandy shore shaded by umbrella pines, where attentive service meets the calm waters of the bay.
“Riviera pine grove”
Jean-Michel Wilmotte crafts crisp azure and white spaces accented by chant-doré stone, natural timbers, and local ceramics.
Dedicated beachside ambassadeurs, tailored Guerlain turndown amenities, and seamless anticipatory service across thirty-two sun-drenched coastal suites.
A private sandy beach dotted with yellow umbrellas, bay boat excursions from the private dock, and waterside dining.
On Bouillabaisse beach overlooking the bay, a fifteen-minute stroll from Saint-Tropez harbor.
“Its new interiors feel rooted in Provence but free from cliché, decked out in striking azure and pure white…”
Rooms
Coastal rooms feature deep azure accents against crisp white walls, with private sea-facing terraces welcoming the pine-scented Mediterranean breeze.
“The French-tinged rooms are bathed in white, which lends a crisp, fresh look.”
Wellness
A heated outdoor pool overlooks the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, alongside a subterranean spa with a hammam and sensory experience showers.
“Wilmotte’s use of deep blue and bright white, and of hard, straight lines, manages to be at once soothing and dramatic.”
Backstory
First opened in 1936 as La Résidence de la Pinède, this classic Riviera maison retains its private seaside grove.
Eat & drink
Three-Michelin-starred La Vague d'Or anchors the dining, complemented by seaside lunches under century-old pines at La Terrasse.
The neighborhood
Positioned directly on Bouillabaisse beach, the hotel sits a peaceful fifteen-minute walk from the crowded harbor and historic town center.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
