What’s the hotel in a nutshell?

Hôtel La Tartane Saint Tropez is a charming retreat that offers an unpretentious take on French hospitality. Located in the Cote d’Azur region of France, the resort recently underwent a full renovation that celebrates the 1920s Riviera life. The hotel comprises five ‘hamlets’ designed to evoke the spirit of a family getaway, with each house named after a famous former resident of the area. The hotel’s interior design is the brainchild of Jordane Arrivetz, founder of design studio Notoire, who created an eclectic mix of patterned sofas, painted floorboards and rattan headboards to create the sense of a bygone era.

What are the rooms like?

The 27 rooms and suites at Hôtel La Tartane Saint Tropez are spread across houses named after figures and muses of the Café Society era, such as Ernest Hemingway and Peggy Guggenheim. The rooms are designed to evoke a family vacation home, with furniture and objets d’art varying across each room, while natural materials establish uniformity. Whitewashed beams and timber roofs are contrasted by vibrant colours, including almond green, pastel pink, and luminous yellow that amplify the colour story of the south of France. Floral cushions and striped armchairs complete the refreshing take on luxury hospitality.
