In an important step for the recovery of St Martin’s beloved town of Grand Case, one of its top boutique hotels has reopened its doors.

Le Petit Hotel, set on the beach in Grand Case, officially relaunched earlier this month, the first major hotel to come back on line in Grand Case, which was hit particularly hard by Hurricane Irma last year.

Rooms at the St Martin property range from studios to one-bedroom suites.

Le Petit Hotel is the sister property to Grand Case’s Hotel L’Esplanade, which is planning to reopen in November.
