Privacy Reigns At The Le Toiny, Sort Of

Ok, we have chronicled a lot of hellish hotel stories this week, so how 'bout a good one?

Let's discuss Le Toiny in St Barthélemy, Caribbean.

Fine, this place is probably a little overpriced for not having a swimmable beach on the premises. That in itself may be enough to turn some guests off. However, these villas are extremely romantic, ultra secluded, and exceptionally serviced. Each villa comes with its own private poll and the staff anticipates everything from extra towels to jetlag (bringing you jetlag calming lotion..that can't possibly work...can it?)

However, it is the legendary privacy in paradise that attracts most. This is the resort where Brad Pitt was famously photographed in the nude while on vacation with then fiancee Gwyneth Paltrow. Ok, so maybe that isn't a ringing endorsement for the whole privacy thing, but have you seen the size of those paparazzi zoom lenses? The photog was probably in a boat 100 feet offshore when those photos were snapped.

Le Sereno is the new hot design hotel in St. Barts.

Christian Liaigre designed the interiors, lighting designer Arnold Chan added the ambiance, and landscape architect Fernando Tabora created the lush tropical surroundings.  A virtual hotel design dream team.

Throw in a gourmet restaurant, beach club, and spa, and this place is ready for a fall opening.  

The question that remains is can Le Sereno's service match its beauty.  Hotels aren't all about skin ya' know?

Stay tuned.
