Rooms in the main building are a lot better than they were since the latest refurbishment.

Today, it is a good 4-star but cannot compete with the likes of Grand Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat or la Réserve Ramatuelle, but for this coastline it is not too bad.
Thank you vuittonsofstyle, that's fascinating info. Grace Leo was recently in the news including:

...Leo has successfully launched, developed and repositioned some of the world’s most acclaimed luxury hotels spanning Europe, North America, the Caribbean and Asia. Notable projects include the Hotels Montalembert and Lancaster in Paris, The Royal Riviera in Cap Ferrat, Le Guanahani and Le Toiny in St. Barths and The Cotton House in Mustique. Most recently, Grace oversaw the development of hospitality elements of Ten Trinity Square in London, a $430 million hotel and residential project which opened in January 2017.
