"The White Lotus" Has its Primary Season 4 Location

"According to The Hollywood Reporter's Rick Porter, the primary real-life location for the new season is Château de la Messardière in the Riviera town of Saint-Tropez. Porter notes that this hotel will not be the only location used for the show, but it will be, in his words, the "home base" for the next season. The hotel's history dates back to the 19th century; it's been a part of the Airelles Collection since 2019, and hosted a grand reopening celebration in 2021."

"The photographs on the hotel's website certainly look scenic; it's not hard to imagine an all-star cast playing out a tale of intrigue on its grounds.Château de la Messardière has also earned plenty of esteem from travelers. Michelin's hotel guide gave it two keys, denoting "an exceptional stay." The guide's review points out the hotel's combination of "a fairy-tale castle and a Mediterranean-style villa" as well as the "spectacular view of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and the surrounding countryside.""

"In his review, Ben Schlappig of One Mile at a Time had plenty of praise for the location - "The hotel has a great location, excellent pools, a beach club, and amazing dining" - along with some reservations about the service there. Forbes Travel Guide, meanwhile, also observed that the hotel "looks straight out of a fairytale, with its turrets, domes and arcades.""

Season four of The White Lotus will be filmed largely at Château de la Messardière in Saint-Tropez, with the hotel serving as the show's primary home base while additional locations are also used. The hotel dates to the 19th century, joined the Airelles Collection in 2019, and reopened with celebrations in 2021. Travel guides praise the property for its fairy-tale castle–meets–Mediterranean villa aesthetic, spectacular Gulf views, pools, beach club and dining, while at least one reviewer noted some service reservations. The setting promises memorable onscreen visuals and is expected to increase demand for stays.
