Hotel L'Esplanade above Grand Case
Hillside boutique resort

Hotel L'Esplanade

Stick Hill, Grand Case, French side of Saint Martin

A charming hillside address above Grand Case

Hotel L'Esplanade is a boutique address set on Stick Hill above Grand Case. The hotel is not directly on the sand: its strength is the bay view, peaceful setting, tropical gardens, pool and easy access to Grand Case boulevard for dinner.

The resort has 24 guest rooms with private terraces, sea views, generous living space and fully equipped kitchens. Categories range from Deluxe Studios to lofts and larger suites, with king-size bedding, air conditioning, ceiling fans, Wi-Fi, safe, TV and a warm design mixing Brazilian woodwork, Balinese furniture and French fabrics.

Service feels more residential than classic resort: continental breakfast, heated pool, poolside bar and lunch, Ti Spa, complimentary daily yoga, boutique, Wi-Fi and access to selected amenities at sister property Le Petit Hotel. It is a comfortable setup if you like independence, space and sunset views.

The location is especially useful for travelers who want Grand Case without sleeping in the middle of the evening buzz. A gently sloped path leads down toward the boulevard and restaurants, but the walk back can feel uphill after dinner: a car or taxi may be useful depending on mobility.

Good to know: if walking straight out to the beach is your absolute priority, Grand Case Beach Club, Le Petit Hotel or Orient Beach Hotel are more immediate options. L'Esplanade is better for charm, views, spacious rooms, pool, spa and nearby dining.
