Aaaah, St. Tropez: a little village on the French Riviera that gets overrun by seemingly every rich potentate and aspiring celebutante come summertime. If your yacht is in the shop, or you prefer to stay on dry land anyway, you�ll have a new hotel to choose from this year, with the opening of the Hotel de Paris Saint Tropez, hopefully later this month.

Walking distance from the harbor and the Citadelle (where the above view can be had), Hotel de Paris goes back to the 1930s as one of the first St Tropez hotels and the place to be seen in the 60s and 70s. So what can we expect in its modern reincarnation?

There will be 52 rooms and 38 suites, taking up the �Tropezian codes of the y�y� years�, designed by Sybille de Margerie. Looking up when you walk into the atrium will be worth your while with a clear-bottom pool suspended above from the rooftop terrace. Chef Georges Blanc consults on the food at Le Suffren Caf� by Georges, with a lobby bar downstairs and pool bar & lounge on the top floor.

Unlike many St. Tropez hotels, Hotel de Paris will be open year-round. Having lived in the area, we�d highly recommend trying to visit slightly off season for a more laid-back atmosphere, somewhat friendlier prices at both hotels and on off-peak restaurant menus, and a chance to explore the gorgeous region without the crowds.

A Classic room at the Hotel de Paris starts at �280 ($365) early April, jumping to �530 ($690) for a Patio room with terrace. In comparison, rates in July easily shoot up to over �600 ($780) for a Classic room. Better start saving now�
