Hotel Byblos Saint-Tropez is a legendary destination renowned for its glamorous ambience, exquisite hospitality, and unparalleled Riviera experience. Inspired by the allure of Saint-Tropez, it has become a symbol of French art de vivre since its inception. This family-owned Palace hotel, which first opened in 1967, has reopened today for a new season of luxury and Mediterranean charm.
About the Palace Hotel
Steeped in history and founded on love for French actress Brigitte Bardot, Lebanese businessman Jean-Prosper Gay-Para built the Byblos in 1967. That same year, he sold it to French businessman Sylvain Floirat, and it has stayed within the same family ever since. Four generations later, it is still an iconic destination on the French Riviera.

Built as a village within a village, Hotel Byblos features 87 rooms and suites, including the Missoni Suite. Its pool sits at the heart of the property with its bar le B. In addition, it hosts a spa by Sisley, two fitness centres, an Italian trattoria Cucina overseen by Alain Ducasse, which was launched in 2019, and a vegetable garden. Byblos Beach Ramatuelle is only a 10-minute drive from the property; Les Caves du Roy nightclub, restaurant Arcadia, and Le Jardin d’Arcadia are also easily accessible.
Byblos has acquired mythical status thanks to its remarkable history, the passion of its owners – the Chevanne family – its loyal staff, its amazing guests, and its prestigious partners. It is part of the luxury hotel group Groupe Floirat, which also includes La Réserve St Jean de Luz in the French Basque Country and Les Manoirs de Tourgéville in Normandy.
