The property’s 10-acre estate lies between a Provençal hillside and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, placing COMO Le Beauvallon among the Riviera’s finest Saint-Tropez hotels.
COMO Le Beauvallon is a celebration of lively creativity, showcasing a collection of over 300 art installations — including the 2002 Serpentine Gallery Summer Pavilion, a structure designed by Pritzker Prize-winner, Toyo Ito.
History of COMO Le Beauvallon
COMO Le Beauvallon opened its doors in 1914 as Le Golf Hôtel, a 100-room Belle Époque palace designed by Swiss architect Julien Flengenheimer, and commissioned by the Bernheim brothers, German émigrés who set up a distillery business in the United States.
The palace was requisitioned by the French government as a military hospital during the two World Wars, each time resuming its original luxurious purpose after a complete renovation.
History of COMO Le Beauvallon
The hotel became a place to see and be seen — a beloved Riviera retreat for creatives, duchesses and Hollywood stars alike. Authors Colette and F. Scott Fitzgerald stayed, as did Winston Churchill and the French poet Paul Géraldy. In the 1960s, Le Beauvallon was the backdrop for both Two for the Road, starring Audrey Hepburn, and the cult series The Troops of Saint-Tropez.
After nearly two decades as an exclusive-use events venue, COMO Le Beauvallon reopened its doors to hotel guests in 2025, ushering a revived era of glamour for this Côte d’Azur icon.
