Four ranked hotels on a working port turned summer stage
Saint-Tropez has 4 hotels ranked in the finehotels.world index. La Réserve Ramatuelle leads on prestige score at 6.71 out of 10, followed by Airelles Saint-Tropez, Château de la Messardière and Cheval Blanc St-Tropez. Of those, 4 hold MICHELIN Keys, 1 are rated by La Liste.
Saint-Tropez remains a small fishing port for nine months of the year and something else entirely in July and August. Four properties are ranked in this index, all holding MICHELIN Keys, one at three Keys and two at two Keys, with one La Liste restaurant entry.
Cheval Blanc St-Tropez sits directly on the Quai Jean Jaurès in the old port, the only palace-classified hotel with the harbour at its feet. Airelles Saint-Tropez occupies the Château de la Messardière, an 1890s hilltop pile above Pampelonne with views over the bay. La Réserve Ramatuelle stands further out on the Cap Camarat cliffs in a low Jean-Michel Wilmotte building, more retreat than town hotel, and Arev St. Tropez works at boutique scale a short walk from the Place des Lices market.

The old port and the lanes behind the Place des Lices put visitors among the galleries, the market and the yacht quay; the Pampelonne road toward Ramatuelle holds the beach-club belt and the hillside estates; Cap Camarat and the Gigaro side of the peninsula offer cliff-top isolation with vineyards and coastal footpaths.
July and August bring the crowds, with the Voiles de Saint-Tropez regatta lifting late September as well; May, June and early October are warm and far calmer, and most hotels close from November to March.

Saint-Tropez has 4 hotels holding MICHELIN Keys in this index, of which 1 hold the top rating of three Keys and 2 hold two Keys.
Each hotel is scored on a fixed formula built only from award facts, then shown on a scale of 5.00 to 10.00. MICHELIN Keys carry the most weight, a Forbes Travel Guide Five Star rating adds a flat six points, placements in The World's 50 Best Hotels for 2023, 2024 and 2025 are weighted equally, and a La Liste rating moves the total slightly. Nothing a hotel supplies about itself enters the score, and the full formula is published on the methodology page so any figure in the table can be reproduced from the awards beside it.
