Fodor's Expert Review Hotel de Tourrel

Rarely does a hotel aspire to, let alone achieve, such level of craft and elegance down to the finest details. Set in three 17th-century buildings, with a fabulous rooftop pool and lounge, each of this sophisticated hotel's seven bright and spacious suites—Room 7 with its very own secluded rooftop terrace—is a model of contemporary refinement. Soaring ceilings, tasteful artwork, ample marble baths, and gorgeous color palettes that beautifully offset the building's creamy stone are some of the many qualities that set this sophisticated dwelling in the heart of St-Rémy apart. Its rigorous aesthetic extends to a gastronomic restaurant—the recent recipient of a Michelin star—and wine bar, featuring a connoisseur's selection of Provençal, French, and other choice wines, that can also be enjoyed on the hotel's rooftop terrace with views over St-Rémy. As refined as it is, the owners' laid-back, welcoming vibe puts visitors at ease.
