Step Inside a Secluded Hotel on the French Riviera
The French Riviera is no stranger to the jet set, but Cheval Blanc St-Tropez, a new hot spot from LVMH, has just made an especially fashionable arrival. A short walk but a world apart from the yacht-filled harbor, the waterfront lodgings have been meticulously restored by architect François Vieillecroze, a St.-Tropez native who took care not to disturb the historic structure. Paris-based designer Jean-Michel Wilmotte, meanwhile, has refreshed the interiors with his sophisticated spin on nautical style. Pops of blue enliven the 30 guest rooms and suites, among them a stunning duplex with three terraces. Feast on the local catch and fresh Provençal produce at chef Arnaud Donckele’s two restaurants and bar. Or simply recline in one of the 60 lounge chairs that line the private pool and beach, where ancient pines perfume the air and lapping waves lull guests into seaside slumber. And there’s more to come from Cheval Blanc, which opens in Paris next year. chevalblanc.com
