However, other than it's prime location, the hotel itself was a bit stale. The lackluster decor was quite dated and sparse in the country house room where we stayed and the pools crowded with what looked like wealthy old-money European tourist. From the website and photos online, you'd think it was a very chic modern establishment that attracted a more hip crowd - but in my personal opinion, this hotel was anything but. (Compared to other Provencal resorts and hotels in the same price range ($$$), you would certainly fare better by going to places like Hotel Crillon Le Brave near Mt. Ventoux or if you adamantly want to stay in Gordes, La Bastide de Gordes & Spa) Furthermore, the service always seemed to have a slight air of arrogance - from the front desk attendant at check-in, the bell boy, restaurant maitre'd, etc. I recognize they do boast a 1 michelin-star restaurant (Gastronomique by Pascal Ginoux) and a wide range of spa services - all of which they should feel proud of, but no so proud that guests like myself feel uncomfortable. For all that money to feel uncomfortable, I would certainly go elsewhere and rate my hotel experience a 2 star. The 3rd star I gave is more on account of the restaurant. While I was not blown away by the hotel experience, the restaurant was good enough to help salvage another star. Again, I wasn't impressed by the maitre'd, where we were seated on the terrace (we were seated at the entrance of the kitchen where the bus boys and waiters came in/out of) or by our server - but I did feel the quality, presentation and execution of food was deserving of some praise. It was a decadent French course meal that like all the rest of Souther France, paid attention to the best fresh seasonal products and traditional french preparations. Though, if you are looking for unique innovative courses to awaken your taste buds - you are better off going elsewhere or back to Paris.

I booked a hammam/gommage here to give my skin the TLC it needed after an action-packed, jet-setting summer. The relaxation journey began as soon as I stepped through the doors. The woman who welcomed me was incredibly peppy, sweet and took the time to explain how the afternoon would unwind (change into fluffy bathroom, steam, soak, scrub, sip some tea and snooze for as long as I wanted in the reclining chairs in the Riad-like lounge). Sounded like heaven to me. And it was! The hammam itself was not as big as I imagined it would be. It was only two rooms, with the gommage tables stationed within the bigger of the two rooms. Regardless, the space was fine for the crowd, and it was well-maintained, so no problems there, but I assumed that it would be a true palace with many different steam rooms. The real highlight of my three hour sensory journey was the fabulous gommage given by a powerful but tender woman who sang songs from her African homeland while scrubbing me down. Definitely a great place to unwind and cleanse!

After a couple days at marseille, I decided to spend my last afternoon in a Hammam. This place was…read morea nice pick. While there were some flaws, the overall experience was positive. The goods: friendly staff who walked me through their services with my non-existent French and their limited English. They provide a robe, slippers, and shampoo with shower gel. A nice touch was mint tea with lemon infused water in the resting area. The ambiance was great. Some improvements I recommend: the hammam room was too dark (lit only by candle lights). While after a while your eyes get used to it, it was a bit uncomfortable at first. The rest area right next to the entrance, thus it was a bit loud when people talked at the reception area or opened the door. And one last thing, there was quite a few very dusty corners in the change room which really caught my eye, easy improvement, which would make the experience better.
