Condé Nast Readers' Choice 2025
Character and identity
On the quay of Saint Martin, the pretty port of the Île de Ré, this 17 to 20 room hideaway occupies a cluster of stone houses overlooking the harbour. Inside, the register is country-house rather than boutique-slick: antiques, rugs, roaring lobby fire, and rooms wrapped in vivid fabrics (sunny yellow, ruddy red, powder blue) where curtains match armchairs. Each room is named for a historical figure tied to the island, with decor to suit. Chef Thomas Urbanek cooks bespoke dinners and will take guests to market to choose the catch. A heated pool rounds out the amenities, and service from the young bilingual team is genuinely warm.
Who's it for
Best for:
Francophile couples and design-literate travellers who want a literary, slow-paced bolt-hole on an island the French intelligentsia have long kept to themselves. Ideal for readers, food lovers, and anyone happy to spend a rainy afternoon by a working fireplace with a novel and a glass of something local.
Should look elsewhere:
Families chasing a kids' club, beach-resort buyers who want sand at the door, and travellers who equate "hip" with minimalism. The hotel is small, harbourside rather than beachfront, and the mood is genteel and traditional.
Bottom line
What sets this place apart is the personal, lived-in feel: Olivia Mathé's hand is everywhere, and Urbanek's cook-to-order kitchen is a genuine draw. Come off-season for fires, quiet quays, and the warmest welcome. Book one of the three rooms with a working fireplace, and if Urbanek's market dinner is offered, take it.
