This boutique St Tropez hotel provides a taste of the glamorous French Riviera lifestyle away from the crowds<\/p>\n
Location<\/p>\n
Nestled in sunny C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur<\/a> in southeast France<\/a>, Arev St Tropez<\/a> is pleasantly removed from touristy areas, but is also within walking distance to the fashionable seaside town and its storied beaches. <\/p>\n Nice airport is just under two hours by road, and a premium chauffeur service can be booked via the hotel<\/a>. From the hotel free shuttles and electric Mehari buggies can transport guests to Place des Lices \u2013 a popular spot for shopping at local markets \u2013 and the beach clubs of Pampelonne, which are open from April to October.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Read more: <\/strong>I stayed in the new Saint-Tropez White Lotus hotel \u2014 and predicted it would appear in season 4<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The vibe<\/p>\n Arev is pristine, with stylish nautical interiors in stripes, and pops of navy blue and ruby-red hues. Its book-lined shelves and walls styled with monochrome art pay homage to the superyacht-studded harbour. Eclectic music pulses through the hotel, complementing its laidback yet lively ambience.<\/p>\n The scent of olive trees, plus lavender and rosemary from the hotel\u2019s lush gardens, fills the air around a pool, which is lined with striped parasols and loungers, and is the perfect setting for relaxing in the sunshine while sipping cleverly crafted cocktails.<\/p>\n Service<\/p>\n Staff welcome guests with a refreshing beverage on arrival, either a local ros\u00e9 or a delicious mocktail. There is no reception or concierge desk, and therefore no queues, just friendly staff always on-hand (or a text away on a 24\/hour WhatsApp service) to make any request happen.<\/p>\n The evening turn-down service goes the extra mile \u2013 <\/strong>as well as the typical addition of slippers at the side of your bed, and robes laid out, a pregnancy pillow was kindly left out for me as the hotel knew I\u2019d made a booking for a babymoon.<\/p>\n Bed and bath<\/p>\n The boutique hotel has just 35 rooms, from Classic Doubles, to Poolside and Signature Suites. The stylish decor leans into the nautical and Riviera style, with pops of black, gold and white. Marble-topped vanities add another layer of elegance to the rooms.<\/p>\n You\u2019re guaranteed to sleep soundly under a Hungarian goose-down duvet and pillows layered with 500-thread count French bed linen. You can easily get used to the heated seat of the Japanese Toto toilet, too.<\/p>\n The gorgeous citrus-scented soaps in ceramic bottles are made by local Maison ST, which is also used in the spa. Bathrooms come with luxurious Italian rainfall showers, and larger rooms and suites also include standalone bathtubs.<\/p>\n Contactless bedside phone charging, Dyson hair tools and plenty of amenity kits make travelling with hand luggage-only a breeze. <\/p>\n A fully stocked (and free) mini bar of premium spirits and French goodies awaits you, and rooms come with Nespresso machines for your morning coffee.<\/p>\n Read more: <\/strong>Where is The White Lotus season four set? France filming locations revealed<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Food and drink<\/p>\n The Strand restaurant serves up Mediterranean cuisine, including fresh seafood, such as locally-caught blue lobster, as well as veal chops or roasted duck. The extensive wine menu boasts over 300 bottles to choose from. <\/p>\n Breakfast and Sunday brunch are also served at The Strand, which includes patisserie treats, fresh omelettes and fluffy pancakes. Lunch is available here, too.<\/p>\n On a sunny day, you can dine al fresco at the champagne lounge terrace among the olive trees, where bubbles and cigars are served from an antique trolley cart. <\/p>\n Q\u2019s Bar is the perfect place for a crisp glass of ros\u00e9 wine, or a signature Negroni. The extensive mocktail menu offers great alternatives such as refreshing iced teas and mango punch.<\/p>\n The Place des Oliviers courtyard has all the tranquillity of a private Provence garden, where a retro Citroen truck serves aperitifs. Bands play live music in summer. <\/p>\n Allergens are clearly highlighted on menus, and fresh vegetarian options, including Riviera artichoke hearts, truffle pasta and vegan sorbet, are popular. The restaurant is happy to adapt ingredients and cooking methods to cater for dietary requests, including pregnancy restrictions.<\/p>\n Facilities<\/p>\n The sprawling outdoor pool area boasts a three-metre-deep swimming pool, which is heated year-round for guests. There is also a small, shaded family pool for kids to splash around in.<\/p>\n The Arev Spa with Maison ST facilities includes separate male and female hammams, and on the treatment menu are a revitalising anti-ageing collagen facial or a deep-cleansing massage.<\/p>\n Guests can burn off some energy with a game of padel or jump on a Peloton bike in the impressive gym. <\/p>\n Be sure to book yourself in for a unique Maison ST perfume-making experience, where you can create a scent to take home. Electric bikes are also available to use at leisure, if you don\u2019t fancy walking into town.<\/p>\n Read more: <\/strong>This all-women ski retreat gave me community \u2013 and a new mindset<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Accessibility<\/p>\n The hotel can accommodate guests with accessibility needs.
