Comments:Le Sereno is the renaissance of a beloved 33 year-old hotel tradition on St Barth. Recently, the hotel was rebuilt, re-designed by renowned French Interior Designer Christian Liaigre, and repositioned as the deluxe property among the island's select group of hotels.

Le Sereno has just 36 rooms and villas with private gardens and terraces scattered along 180 metres of palm shaded beach. Rooms are sleek and stylish, and feature luxurious amenities such as plasma screen TVs and i-pods.

Le Sereno is located at the east end of the island on Grand-Cul-de-Sac, a turquoise cove protected from the waves by a coral reef. The site was noted by The Discovery Channel as one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world, and the cove is the island`s most popular destination for kite and wind surfers.

The suites are large by St. Barth standards and have spacious living areas and private sundecks. Large bathrooms, some with "steeping tubs," have roomy showers and vessel sinks of solid black granite. Other perks include linens and robes from Porthault, Parisian Ex Voto toiletries, high-speed Internet, plasma TVs, and a speaker dock for iPods. Bedlike poolside lounges for two set the romantic tone for the hip all-day lounge party.
