Hotel La Banane, an intimate Parisian-inspired boutique homestead comprised of nine separate bungalows, each with its own private terrace, sensually considered interiors and modern appointments for contemporary travelers, caters to discerning jet setters with a passion for luxury travel in a secluded, otherworldly locale.
Located on the glamorous getaway island of St. Barths, the preferred playground of the glitterati, Hotel La Banane responds to the discerning tastes of elite travelers with four-star accommodations, vibrant botanicals, a lively bar, and a refreshing pool area with a fringe of coconut palm trees. Just a few metres from Lorient Bay, enjoy proximity to a variety of cultural, sporting, and leisure activities; world-class shopping, a vibrant nightlife, and dramatic vistas.
Refinement, voluptuous tranquility, and intimacy settle in naturally here. One major feature of Hotel La Banane is the collector furniture designed for Le Corbusier. A celebration of 1950s design, many of the original pieces were created for the city of Chandigarh. The unique furniture tells a story, and the story continues at La Banane.
This hotel doesn't accept children under 13 for safety reasons.
