Airelles Château de la Messardière, Saint-Tropez
The biggest and one of the most prestigious hotels in the French Riviera, Airelles Saint-Tropez, Château de la Messardière, looks straight out of a fairy tale, with its turrets, domes, and arcades.
Enter this magnificent 19th-century property, and you’ll be welcomed with a breathtaking view of Pampelonne’s famous beaches and Ramatuelle’s widespread vineyards. But you’ll want to explore: walk amid pine, cypress, palm, olive, and boxwood trees along the botanical trails in the park surrounding the Château; get a soothing treatment at the Valmont spa; or savor authentic Mediterranean cuisine at La Table Messardière. Retreat to the heated pool and its lounge bar, whose champagne cocktails are a delight.
The 86-room hotel serves as a local icon in St. Tropez. It is the place to discuss business, host formal parties, or showcase unique exhibitions — in fact, the hotel hosted the well-known Brigitte Bardot Exposition in 2015.
