Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez

When you walk into the lobby of this five-star, service-friendly urban hotel, you may be too excited about the open space—a novelty for this tiny fishing port—to notice the rooftop pool suspended 15 meters in the air, with its glass floor peering down at you. Designed by Sybille de Margerie, rooms here are a throwback to the swing 1960s and groovy 1970s—white lacquer furniture marrying with geometrics and colors—while embracing today’s technology. The selection of hip bars and lively restaurants will keep your palette interested, the Clarins spa will appeal to all the senses, and the free beach shuttle is a welcome bonus.
