Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez

When you walk into the lobby of this sleek five-star hotel, you may be too excited about the open space—a novelty at properties in 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 swinging 1960s and groovy 1970s—think white lacquer furniture paired 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.
