Hotel Byblos • Saint-Tropez

" Mythical … Magical … Unique "

71 avenue Franklin Roosevelt, 75008 Paris • +33 1 53 96 80 80 • [email protected] • www.groupe-floirat.com

Originally a small fisherman’s village, Saint-Tropez has become the most famous summer destination in the world and today the Hotel Byblos hosts many international clients as well as jet set visitors looking for a festive atmosphere at the Caves du Roy nightclub or aboard the private new sleek Algandra yacht. Opened last year : the new elegant « Rivea at Byblos » restaurant conceived by chef Alain Ducasse.

A MAGICAL ENCLAVE IN A MYTHICAL VILLAGE

Since 1967, when entrepreneur Sylvain Floirat bought the Hotel Byblos from Prosper Gay Para, this exceptional hotel has become a deluxe milestone of the Riviera, especially after the surface of the hotel was doubled following the purchase in 1983 of a piece of land leading right down to the famous place des Lices. Embodying the casual spirit of this mythical village, the Hotel Byblos was the first hotel implementing the “Prestige Hotel Management” philosophy of Groupe Floirat.

Today, its casual luxury continues to seduce a demanding international clientele by offering exclusive services and festivities in swinging Saint-Tropez all summer long.

« As a child, I used to spend my holidays at the Hotel Byblos. I grew up there at the same time as certain of my clients who have now become friends. It’s "the Byblos family spirit" that one also finds amongst employees such as Jean-Christophe, the head concierge who opened the Byblos in 1967, whose son Richard is today also concierge or childhood friend Junior, now executive manager of Les Caves du Roy. »

Antoine Chevanne, CEO of the Groupe Floirat


AN EXCEPTIONAL SETTING FOR A 5-STAR PROPERTY

High-end service is the master-word of the Hotel Byblos, recently nominated in the official Palace category, managed by Christophe Chauvin and his staff, many of whom have been there for years.

Conceived like a colorful provençal village perfectly integrated in the landscape, the hotel fans out around the olive tree patio, the two restaurants, the new Rivea at Byblos and the B., as well as the pool and the Spa.

Enhanced by their own private terrace, each of the 41 rooms and 50 suites of the hotel feature a unique decor, reflecting the high quality decoration orchestrated by Mireille Chevanne (Chairman of the Byblos Hotel).

Carefully selected antiques are set off by exclusive fabrics in bright hues. All the bathrooms have been designed in the most outstanding marbles with utmost care for comfort creating a haven of quiet luxury for guests.


The recently opened sun-bathed Rivea at Byblos restaurant, with super chef Alain Ducasse as consultant has become the new gourmet destination of Saint-Tropez.

Designed like a village inside a village, both the decor and the cuisine embody French and Italian cultures. Enhanced by a stunning terrace, the sober and comfortable interior of the Rivea was conceived by Antonio Citterio (who recently designed the Hotel Bulgari in London), in wood and metal with terra cotta hues, including a piece by Ingo Maurer literally floating on the bar.

The open cuisine runs the gamut of essential flavors from Provence to Nice, passing from Liguria to Piedmont as well as Monaco: a delightful savory escapade to be discovered from April to October.
