La Ponche
La Ponche is a new boutique hotel with a restaurant and cool-designed rooms right in the heart of the old port of Saint-Tropez. A small Piaggio takes you one minute away to the cove that the hotel overlooks. At the piano bar, where Boris Vian's trumpet and Bardot's laughter resounded, people dance to the rhythm of French songs.
Facilities
- The 21 authentic and refined rooms and 3 apartments feature the most striking views over the bay of Saint-Tropez.
- 24h/24 room service.
Wellness & Spa
- On the menu: yoga classes facing the sea or individual practice in your room. Treatments and massages provided by experienced massage therapists: Ayurvedic, Balinese, Lomi Lomi, and Swedish. In the fitness room, La Ponche provides clients with bicycles, mats, and fitness and strengthening equipment.
Wine & Dine
On the terrace overlooking the sea or in the dining room, Chef Thomas Danigo offers Mediterranean cuisine based on local vegetables, fresh fish du jour, and market produce. A gastronomy that is both elegant and inventive, in the image of La Ponche. In the evening, the restaurant highlights its distinguished charm: cotton tablecloths and subdued lighting.
Bar: The mythical piano bar Saint-Germain-des-Prés-la Ponche is back. After your first morning dip, the bar is open with a menu full of creations: Romy Schneider's grand Piscine, Brigitte Bardot's Love Me or Love Me Not, or Boris Vian's Froth on the Daydream.
