To find the most picture-perfect hotels in the world, we tallied up our most popular Instagram posts in 2016. Forbes Travel Guide’s Instagram followers fell for fetching properties everywhere from Paris to Buenos Aires to New York City.
But our top hotel post went to a chic, off-the-beaten-tourist-path option in St. Tropez, La Résidence de la Pinède. While this serene spot is known for its destination restaurant La Vague d’Or, its alluring beachfront captured the attention of our followers. It’s the only hotel in the French Riviera with its own private beach.
