Known as the one real boutique hotel of St Martin, the name “Le Petit” has quite a story attached to it. When Andre Petrelluzzi built Hotel L’Esplanade in 1992, he had a unique opportunity to make a sister hotel on Grand Case Bay. Created by the same architect, both the hotels echoed a unique Mediterranean-style. The L’Esplanade staff would refer to the new property as merely “the little hotel” or “le petit hotel,” which is how the name came into being.
