Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez

The Hotel

Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez sits at 1 Traverse de la Gendarmerie, in the centre of St-Tropez town between Place des Lices and the Vieux Port. The current property is the 2013 reopening of a historic Hotel de Paris that had operated on the same site since the late 19th century — the building was substantially reworked under owner Pierre Cardin's heir before reopening as the present five-star design hotel. Interior architect Sybille de Margerie — known for hotels like Royal Champagne — designed the rooms and public spaces in a deliberate 1960s/70s revival palette: graphic lines, natural materials, brass detailing, deep tobacco-and-mustard tones, soft Mediterranean accents, and a balance between mid-century styling and contemporary technology.

There are 52 rooms and 38 suites distributed across multiple categories. Standard rooms are compact (St-Tropez town hotels run smaller than country properties); the Junior Suites add separate seating areas; the larger Suites at the top of the building have private terraces with St-Tropez Bay views. Categories include the signature Pampelonne Suite, the Vieux Port Suite, and the Penthouse, which is the property's largest accommodation. Bathrooms throughout are marble; in-room technology is the recent generation of automated room control.

The rooftop pool — one of the only rooftop pools in St-Tropez town — is the property's signature daytime feature, with the view extending across the harbour to the citadel and the Bay. Bagatelle Saint-Tropez, the on-site restaurant, is the local outpost of the international Bagatelle group; lunch and dinner programming runs through summer with the brunch programme that has become one of St-Tropez's signature events. The Spa by Clarins handles treatment programming; the smaller indoor pool and fitness room handle the daytime alternatives. The rates structure is one of the more accessible in the St-Tropez five-star category — the property is a strong value point for travellers who want central town address and design quality without the Cheval Blanc/Byblos rate tier.

The location is central. Place des Lices (the morning market and the boules courts) is two minutes uphill; the Vieux Port (the harbour and the major restaurants) is two minutes downhill; the major shopping along Rue Gambetta and Rue Allard is one minute. The 2026 season runs 16 April through 12 October. For couples and small groups whose St-Tropez trip is built around the social scene without committing to the Byblos rate, and for design-focused travellers who appreciate the Sybille de Margerie aesthetic, Hôtel de Paris is the most considered town-centre answer.
