COUNTDOWN ON THE CÔTE D’AZUR
HOTEL SEZZ SAINT-TROPEZ OPENS THIS JULY

Berlin, 30 June 2010 – In mid July, the French Riviera will get a glamorous new addition to its perpetually fashionable and buzzing coastline: Hotel Sezz Saint-Tropez. Owner and hotelier Shahé Kalaidjian has joined forces with an all-star team consisting of designer Christophe Pillet, architect Jean-Jacques Ory, landscape designer Christophe Ponceau and chef Pierre Gagnaire to create a sister property to the Hotel Sezz Paris.

Situated just outside Saint-Tropez and a short walk from the beach, Hotel Sezz Saint-Tropez is a contemporary version of a Provençal village with a collection of single-storey buildings. The resort has 37 guestrooms surrounded by a lush wooded park, and a swimming pool at its centre. Christophe Pillet has made sure that guests will smell, hear and taste ‘holiday’ from their beds and baths. Entire walls of glass and oversized windows are used throughout the resort to create an airy atmosphere. Hotel Sezz Saint-Tropez is set to shine new light on the regional tradition of luxury resorts.

Stay tuned for further information!
