Hotels of the month

In the south of Cyprus, this new five-star waterfront hotel combines contemporary design, a masterful spa and signature gastronomy. It’s one of the island’s most desirable addresses, all year round.

With palm-fringed pools, lagoon beaches and an 18-hole golf course, this Mediterranean and Oriental-inspired resort combines refinement, nature and a gentle way of life. A 5-star hotel with character, perfect for (re)discovering Dubai in a different way.

Overlooking the Aegean Sea, the Kalesma Mykonos offers an alternative to the island’s hustle and bustle with its 27 suites and villas. Minimalism and local inspiration meet here, far from the usual clichés.

A timeless palace, a refuge for the stars and a mecca for Tropezian nightlife, Le Byblos is all these things. More than fifty-seven years after its inauguration, Saint-Tropez’s legendary address cultivates its uniqueness, somewhere between a grand luxury hotel and a “village” with a family spirit.

On the west coast of the “island of eternal spring”, the Ritz-Carlton Abama, a Tenerife hotel with the look of a Moorish fortress, transports you far beyond the island of the Canary archipelago. It’s as if the world stood still, time suspended in flight, far from the crowds.

The rooftop is to a Parisian hotel what cuisine is to a restaurant – in other words, indispensable. Here’s a roundup of rooftop hotels in Paris, where you can admire the view of the world’s most beautiful city.

The Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, a monument almost a thousand years old, combines heritage and contemporary creation. It’s the perfect place to visit, learn and sleep in a monastic chic design hotel.

The Royal Evian is located on the shores of Lake Geneva, between the French and Swiss Alps. In the heart of a 19-hectare wooded park, this legendary palace of luxury, history and gentle living has added another string to its bow: a sumptuous new evian®Spa, the first of its kind in Europe.

The Hôtel VoulezVous, located in Tignes le Lac at an altitude of 2,100 meters, has a charming, unusual architecture, modelled on the Grande Motte glacier in front of it.

The history of the Grandes Rousses Hotel & Spa is intertwined with that of the finest hotels in the Alps. Renovated from top to bottom, it is both the oldest and the newest hotel in Alpe d’Huez. A five-star mountain hotel suspended at 1,830m, designed in the spirit of an alpine chalet, where simplicity and elegance skillfully coexist.

Near the village of Bonnieux in the Luberon, Capelongue has undergone a facelift. The 5-star hotel is set in a Provencal village, with a Michelin-starred restaurant, a wood-fired kitchen and a Roman spa. We tested it.

The Carlton has a new look. After a 2-year renovation, Cannes’ legendary hotel celebrates its 110th anniversary with two new wings, a sumptuous interior garden and the largest infinity pool on the Croisette. We slept there.

In the heart of the Normandy bocage, near Deauville and Honfleur, Les Manoirs de Tourgéville offers guests the promise of a chic, bucolic interlude. An ideal setting to reconnect with nature for a weekend with family, friends or lovers. The hotel has just unveiled its new restaurant “1899”, let’s discover.

Right in the heart of the 1st arrondissement, the hotel Maison Albar Le Pont-Neuf is the ideal address for exploring the capital’s key attractions, while remaining a warm haven of peace away from the hustle and bustle of Paris.

High-flying ephemeral table, Susanne Kaufmann spa and heated outdoor pool… These traditional wooden chalets, former private residence of the Rothschild family, overlook the Alpine village from the Mont d’Arbois. We’ve slept here.

The Royal Champagne never ceases to impress. This world-class 5-star hotel, just 1.5 hours from Paris, boasts not only splendid rooms and fine dining, but also a spectacular spa with breathtaking views over the Champagne vineyards.

In the heart of a twelve-hectare park overlooking the Grande Bleue, the Hôtel & Spa du Castellet, a Relais & Châteaux member and holder of three Michelin stars, is a champion of refinement, thanks in particular to its gastronomic offering – the three-star restaurant (2024) of young prodigy Fabien Ferré – and its vast spa.

Nestled between paradise beach and mangrove swamp, on a sixty-hectare private peninsula, the Constance Prince Maurice is easily one of the most beautiful hotels in Mauritius. This autumn, we took refuge here for a few rejuvenating days. A memory that remains with us to this day.

The good news is that the finest bars in Parisian luxury hotels aren’t just for guests staying there. Destinations in themselves, these glamorous spots offer the ultimate experience of infiltrating the hushed atmosphere of a palace for a drink.

In Europe’s highest resort, a hotel is shaking up Alpine codes. The spirit of F7? Impertinent, offbeat and festive. There’s no fuss here, just a cool atmosphere, comfort and a vintage look that make this a one-of-a-kind refuge.
