Set in the very heart of the French Riviera and renovated, Sainte Maxime is one of the Cote d'Azur's foremost sea resort with marinas lined with luxury yachts, designer boutiques and elegant bistros. The hotel, built in a very pure Provencal style, has lovely views over the sea and is itself in the middle of a botanical garden with a tropical feel. The laurel and orange trees combine with the palm and pine trees to create a remarkable blend of colours. The hotel is constructed like an amphitheatre around the heated outdoor pool. The 125 rooms open onto the terraces and gardens through big glass doors that allow an unusual amount of sunlight in. Guests will discover comfort and elegance in the lounge bar and the restaurant overlooking the garden. The hotel has a 24-hour reception, lift service, games room, TV lounge, air-conditioned restaurant, 10 conference rooms, Internet access, a kids' club, bike cellar and a car park. Room and laundry services are available

The hotel is in a truly wonderful location on the edge of the Gulf of Saint Tropez, secretly nestling in the Mediterranean coastline, a mere stone's throw away from a gorgeous fine sand beach and just a few minutes from Sainte-Maxime. As though in a dream, guests will discover that they are in Provence. Bordered by the Mediterranean to the south and the first peaks of the Alps to the north, Provence offers a multitude of remarkable landscapes boasting spellbinding colours. The towns of Port-Grimaud and Saint-Tropez are a short drive or a short cruise and Nice Cote D'Azur Airport is 80 km away and Toulon Hyeres Airport is 54 km away. The high speed train station Saint Raphael is 25 km away.

Southern France is not just about sun and blue sky - its fine cuisine, mixing thyme, rosemary and bay leaves, is an integral part of the region's tradition. These meals, soaked in sunlight and combining tradition and new ideas, are served out on the terrace overlooking the swimming pool or in one of the air-conditioned rooms.
