Althoff Villa Belrose

This hotel's name just about says it all: Villa Belrose, Saint-Tropez. The attraction here is essentially that this is the authentic St. Tropez of old, a sanctuary for the rest and relaxation of the fantastically rich and impossibly posh. And the hotel is everything one could reasonably expect from a private estate in this most legendary of destinations. The resort feels more like a residence than a hotel, a vastly spacious residence, extravagantly decorated, with every imaginable luxury accounted for.

The rooms are designed in a soft contemporary style, with a light and airy atmosphere befitting a seaside villa. Each room has its own spacious terrace — some with views of the the Bay of St. Tropez, others with views of the garden. And at every level the guest rooms are richly appointed, from the underfloor heating to the sunny white marble bathrooms.

Three meeting rooms accommodate those fortunate enough to have business in St. Tropez, and all guests benefit from the fitness center and heated outdoor pool.

Please note: Villa Belrose is a seasonal hotel, open mid-April thru mid-October. Prices vary widely based on the season. The high season runs from late June until the end of August.
