Overview

The French have one of the most distinct understandings of style on earth. Thank goodness they landed on the island of St. Barthelemy, and brought us the sexy refuge that is La Banane.

Furniture design lovers will be pleasantly surprised here, as the hotel is decked out in a wide array of iconic mid-century pieces.

Small, exclusive, and cool in a way that staff at La Bannane would never boast about. Because it wouldn't be very cool to brag, would it? How French, and for good reason: La Banane has deep roots on St. Barts as a night life innovator - lead by legendary Parisian gadabout, Jean-Marie Riviere.

The social feel of a private club still remains here due in part to La Banane's intimate size: just nine bungalows sit artfully oriented around a dapper pool, bar, and lobby. The bar deserves an extra nod, as its decor manages to balance a very graphic aesthetic with a retro beach-cocktail vibe.

Back to the rooms now. They're all individually named, and read like a guest list to some Paris nightclub: Serge, Juliette, Charlotte, Jean, etc. Inside, retro-modern furniture ads punches of color to white- and seafoam-colored walls. Some rooms share stencilled wall patterns with the cocktail bar, reminding you that it's always happy hour here.
