Les Palmiers

Ever since Brigitte Bardot vacationed on these shores, St.-Tropez has been the French Riviera’s most glamorous destination. But for guests on less than a movie-star budget, Les Palmiers, a three-story house set in a thicket of tropical trees, has 25 cheerful, affordable rooms. The king-size beds and bright Provençal prints are low-key and comfortable, and breakfast is served under the palms on the hotel’s garden terrace.
