Inaugurated in 1931, the Hôtel de Paris became a hotspot for artists seeking inspiration.
In her diary, Augustine Aubour confided that: "The "little" hotel Marcelin and I had spent so long dreaming of emerged much greater once built: two floors, a large terrace above and a restaurant on the ground floor; its facade stands proudly at the gateway to Saint-Tropez".
Dunoyer de Segonzac lived there throughout the year, Mistinguett et Clark Gable were regulars and Louis Lions’ Grand Marnier souffle served in the hotel’s restaurant, Lei Mouscardins, had the whole region swooning.
In the fifties, the establishment lived up to its name more than ever before.
Topped with a third floor and fitted with air conditioning (a first at that time), the hotel was living to the rhythm of the Saint-Germain-Des-Prés intelligentsia who flocked to the location with Juliette Greco, Boris Vian, Jean-Paul Sartre, Audrey Hepburn, Charles Aznavour but also Grace de Monaco, Claude François and the list goes on, all clients of the hotel.
The world of sport (football and boxing particularly) hurries up there.
Indeed, the Aubour are sportsmen themselves: Marcel, the father, is a boxer and Marcel, the son, will be the illustrious goalkeeper of France national football team.
Years later, thanks to local architect François Vieillecroze, the Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez was reborn on behalf of the new owner, emerging triumphant once again like the proverbial phoenix.
The hotel blends seamlessly into the local architecture, clad in an ochre façade and sporting ancient Roman tiles on the roof, evocative of those used in the old port.
Featuring majestic arches and sweeping bay windows with metallic canopies, the Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez appeals to the senses and invites guests to step and explore.
The contemporary purity of space and volume in the lobby provides an element of magnificent, unexpected contrast.
Tight architectural lines create wide, open spaces enhanced by the decoration dreamt up by interior designer Sybille de Margerie.
"Pebble" armchairs by Imperfettolab snuggle against walls embellished with white rosettes like fine lace, while an hypnotic video from the creators of Moving Design features a colourful ballet of floating jellyfish.
A majestic chandelier comprised of 3 500 ivory-varnished aluminium petals flaunts its poetic curves, constrasting prettily with a group of ebony black resin sculptures by Laurence Bonnel that stand on the grey marble floor.
The Atrium’s central skylight catches the yes, which is then drawn to the swimming pool suspended fifteen metres overhead, a symbol of the outrageaous Saint-Tropez flair.
Like silent bubbles, the see-through lifts hover, seemingly full of promise of the enchantements that await.
In the early twentieth century, Saint-Tropez was a small fishing village; within a few short decades, it had become a legend - the playground of stars from the four corners of the globe.
Nestled in the heart of Provence, it is the gem of the French Riviera.
At the centre of the village on the emblematic Place de la Gendarmerie, Hotel de Paris-Saint-Tropez is your invitation to happiness, refinement and luxury.
The hotel has been totally redesigned, right through to the layout.
With elegant rooms and suites, an open-air swimming pool, a gourmet restaurant - "Le Pationata" with an exclusive gastronomy and caviar menu & a Bar - "Les Toits Lounge" with invites you to discover a tasty lunch menu and selection of detox smoothies, Champagnes and Signature cocktails all day long - and the hedonistic Spa by Clarins, your time here can only be unique.
All areas of the hotel have been equipped with the ultimate in technology, the very latest invisible venue and room automation solutions and everything you need to keep in touch with the world.
The friendly yet unobtrusive service is simply outstanding, whether you are staying at the hotel or just enjoying a drink, sharing dinner with friends or relaxing at the spa.
Sybille de Margerie has chosen to play on designs from the sixties and seventies in the rooms and suites, with wide stripes of sometimes vivid colour, explosions of flowers and large wicker chairs, a nod to femininity, with furniture by famous designers, from Florence Knoll to Vladimir Kagan, reinterpreting those famous decades.
A FEMININE TOUCH
Women feature heavily in some of the 52 rooms and 38 suites; obviously, Brigitte Bardot is one of them.
In the Dolce Vita suite, photographs signed in her own rounded handwriting recall the fabulous years the actress spent in Saint-Tropez with lover Roger Vadim; this homage to everlasting femininity also pays tribute to the great Ava Gardner and the flamboyant Rita Hayworth - two of Hollywood's most emblematic stars.
COLOURS BORROWED FROM PAINTERS
Sybille Margerie has a special way of using colour; she blends light strokes into a camaieu, in the mosaics in the bathrooms for example, or uses it to emphasize the light from a bay window.
This is her unique tribute to all the painters - Matisse, Bonnard and many others - who made Hotel de Paris-Saint-Tropez their home.
THE ULTIMATE IN STYLISH LIVING
The rooms and suites have been designed with every attention to style and detail, guaranteeing your perfect comfort.
