About Althoff Villa Belrose
- Villa Belrose was built and opened in 1997 by Thomas H. Althoff, founder of the German-based Althoff Hotel Collection.
- The 40-room hideaway joined The Leading Hotels of the World in 2024, at the time only the third Althoff Collection property to earn a spot in that consortium.
- The estate's guest rooms are filled with hand-picked antiques, and its largest sea-view terraces span nearly 300 square feet.
- Its restaurant, Le Belrose, is run by chef Jimmy Coutel, who draws on his own culinary roots for a Mediterranean menu served on a terrace over the bay.
History
Perched on a hillside in Gassin overlooking the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, Villa Belrose was built in 1997 as a Provençal-style hideaway and opened that same year by Thomas H. Althoff, founder of the German-based Althoff Hotel Collection. From the outset it was conceived as a discreet, refined address on the French Riviera, with classical architecture and Mediterranean gardens taking full advantage of its uninterrupted sea views.
A member of The Leading Hotels of the World since 2024, the 40-room retreat has long been run in the spirit of warm, personal luxury; Robert Jan van Straaten has led the property since January 2001. The villa underwent a full renovation completed in 2025, refreshing its rooms and public spaces while preserving its intimate, seasonal character.
