Le Toiny St Barth

One of the Caribbean’s top luxury hotels has unveiled a new look.

Hotel Le Toiny in St Barth has reopened after an extensive renovation overseen by London-based interior designer Lady Bee Osborn.

The boutique resort, which has 15 “villa suites,” has transformed its French-inspired decor into a “clean coastal chic” aesthetic, the company tells us.

The palette has netural tones and materials inspired by St Barth, accented with bold blue.

The Relais and Chateaux property, which completed the project over its annual summer closing season, also renamed its restaurant, going from the name Le Gaiac to the eponymous Le Toiny Restaurant.

More importantly, though, the hotel has added a new Toiny Beach Club, bringing what the property calls a “new barefoot chic destination” to the hotel’s private beach.

One thing that hasn’t changed: the wonder of St Barth. Oh — and Toiny’s famous Sunday brunch.
