Revived thirties grand hotel
It reinterprets the classic Riviera grande dame for today, replacing hushed formality with sunlit public spaces and sixties pop flair.
“Those wanting to be steps from the town's pulse should look to Hôtel de Paris, which is just a two-minute walk from the harbor and steps from the postcard-worthy Chanel storefront.”
What it’s good at
Notable
A suspended glass-bottom rooftop pool floating directly over the central lobby atrium.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The public spaces are grand in a way that’s nearly gone out of style, but still never fails to impress.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The hotel borders Place Blanqui, leaving the harbor two minutes away on foot and Place des Lices just five.

The rooftop pool

The spa
The spa has five private treatment cabins for Clarins therapies, including a couples room and a nail bar.
Sauna and gym
A sauna and hammam steam room sit beside an ice fountain. Nearby, the gym has cardio machines and free weights.

The restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine on a rooftop terrace looking directly across the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
How it began
The property closed in 1992 and sat derelict for two decades before a complete reconstruction revived it in 2013.
