“In my opinion, this property seems designed for business and solo travelers, the design leans toward a modern, almost minimalist aesthetic, enhanced by its spa and Club Millésime. The harbor views from many rooms are a definite draw, but what stood out to me was the French-inspired dining; La Marée appears to offer something truly unique.”
