What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
this 13-room escape is stylish, luxurious, sustainable, and as private as can be.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Royal Castle and village harbor sit a short walk downhill, with Catalan bistros lining the old town streets.
The rooms
Original frescoes decorate the modernist interiors, and selected rooms open to private terraces with outdoor bathtubs.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and spa
The outdoor mirror pool is heated to 32 degrees year-round, and the spa cabin holds two tables for marine treatments.
At the table
Côté Piscine serves Collioure anchovies and Catalan tapas beside the water, with a menu designed by chef Kévin Védrines.
How it began
The stone residence was originally a private family home, and its conversion marked Collioure's first new hotel in thirty years.
