Hotel Byblos Saint-Tropez
St. Tropez's celebrity magnet
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star
These are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.
Four-Star

When Roger Vadim shot
And God Created Woman with his young protégée Brigitte Bardot in 1956, little did anyone imagine that the film’s overnight success would put this tiny fishing port of pink stacked houses on the map forever. The myth of St. Tropez — a hedonistic playground for the wealthy and the glamorous — began to draw a sophisticated international crowd.
In 1967, Lebanese billionaire Jean-Prosper Gay-Para opened a wildly extravagant palace, Hotel Byblos, on the highest hill of St. Tropez. According to local lore, Gay-Para was enamored of Bardot, and apparently was heartbroken when the actress married Gunter Sachs the same year. He then sold it on a whim to French entrepreneur Sylvain Floirat.
These days, Antoine Chevanne, Floirat’s great grandson, is at the helm of this landmark hotel, which still draws the see-and-be-seen crowd, especially to its nightclub — the hottest in St. Tropez.
Take advantage of the ideal location of this palm- and fountain-filled hamlet of pink and ochre fisherman’s cottages, done up in a lavish Byzantine-meets-Provencal decor. Wander around the village elbow-to-elbow with the summer crowds or laze by the peaceful pool.
Expect ultra-professional service without the formality of other
French Riviera hotels, and a concierge who will arrange anything that your heart desires.
