Hotel la Ponche

The rooms at Hotel la Ponche include Classic and Superior categories, rooms with terraces and several suites. The first eight categories range in size from 18 to 43 m², and maximum occupancy varies by room. Air conditioning, a private bathroom and soundproofing are among the shared amenities. A flat-screen television and minibar are also provided.

Views vary from room to room: some overlook the sea, while others face the inner courtyard or the streets of Saint-Tropez. Several have a balcony, terrace or patio. The suites stand out for their extra space and, depending on the category, a seating area or sofa bed. The Classic Room is more compact and overlooks the town or courtyard. Several categories can be set up with either a large double bed or twin beds.

The air-conditioned restaurant serves fine dining, while the bar offers a place to enjoy a drink. Continental breakfast can be served in your room or on the terrace. Wine and champagne are also available. Guests looking to enjoy the coast can make the most of the beach and activities such as cycling and hiking offered by the property.

The reception is open 24 hours a day, and the concierge can help with requests related to your stay. Luggage storage, express check-in and check-out, and daily housekeeping are also available. Valet parking and indoor parking are available for drivers; parking is chargeable. The hotel also offers room service, a shuttle, car hire, and laundry, ironing and dry-cleaning services. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.

Saint-Tropez stretches around an old port on the gulf of the same name, between the village's ochre façades and the beaches of the peninsula. The town-centre lanes, little squares and old houses make up a lively neighbourhood shaped by boats, terraces and maritime traditions. The seafront is reached from the village streets, and Plage de la Glaye is 90 m from the hotel. This stretch of coast draws visitors interested in heritage as well as those coming to swim and walk.

The port and Saint-Tropez ferry terminal, 190 m away, provide access to local boat routes. The Citadel of Saint-Tropez, 280 m away, houses the maritime history museum and offers a glimpse into the port's past. Place des Lices, known for its market and pétanque games, is within walking distance through the central lanes. The bus station is 720 m away, while La Môle–Saint-Tropez Airport is 14 km away. The beaches of Les Graniers and Les Canoubiers offer a change of scenery along the coast.

Saint-Tropez is very busy in summer, and traffic on the roads around the gulf can be slow, so allow extra time when travelling by car. Spring and the shoulder season often bring temperatures suited to walks through the village and along the shore, with fewer visitors. You could start the day by exploring the citadel and port, go for a swim, then finish with a stroll through the old lanes. The markets and beaches also offer a chance to discover the local pace of life throughout the seasons.
