La Baronnie Hotel & Spa

7 Best Hotels in Île de Ré, the French Island Beloved by Parisians | Condé Nast Traveler

"Three centuries old and once purchased by Louis XVI for Marie‑Antoinette, this noble house has been sensitively modernized to keep the feel of a bourgeois family home: a cluster of buildings and outdoor spaces that reads like a private village, where contemporary textures mingle with antiques and original details. Set in a quieter pocket of central Saint‑Martin‑de‑Ré near the UNESCO‑listed fortifications and the sea, it offers a spa and wellness center, a convivial bar, and a non‑traditional Sunday lunch aimed to rival classic late‑morning dining." - Anya Meyerowitz
