A SAINT-TROPEZ LEGEND FACING THE SEA
You have arrived at Hôtel La Ponche. A little Piaggio carries you down to the cove the hotel overlooks.
Five stars, 21 rooms renovated by Fabrizio Casiraghi, 4 apartments and 1 house.
At the bar, Boris Vian's trumpet once played, and Brigitte Bardot's laughter once rang out.
A restaurant facing the sea, a jetty for diving in. The lightness of Saint-Tropez.
THE RESTAURANT
Chef Simon Pinault signs Mediterranean cooking built around regional produce and the finest local growers. Marine Bon Mugnaïni oversees the dining room.
The terrace, set right against the sea, is lulled by the lapping of the waves. By night, cotton tablecloths and muted lighting. The Mediterranean as its only border.
Fresh from your first swim, you settle in for a coffee; you return for the signature cocktails: Bardot's Tu Veux Ou Tu Veux Pas, Picasso's La Joie De Vivre, Vadim's Le Goût Du Bonheur.
As the sun goes down, elegant guests sink into deep armchairs. The lightness of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, intact.
WELLNESS AREA
Hôtel La Ponche is home to the world's first PERS wellness space. Rigour and precision of gesture, formulas made in France: to protect, beautify, repair and stimulate the skin.
Yoga facing the open sea, bespoke massages, waterside coaching, retreats. Time slows, and one reconnects with the elements.
In the heart of old Saint-Tropez, Hôtel La Ponche is a legendary 5-star hotel overlooking the cove of the same name. Its 25 rooms, suites and apartments designed by Fabrizio Casiraghi cultivate a timeless Saint-Tropez charm, once cherished by Brigitte Bardot and Boris Vian. The Mediterranean restaurant and its seaside terrace, the legendary bar, wellness area by PERS and yoga extend the art of living of the South.
