Hotel Sezz in St. Tropez on the French Riviera has opened its doors for the European summer season on 19th July 2010.

Designed in collaboration by Shahe Kalaidjian and Christophe Pillet, the hotel consist of only 35 rooms and 2 villas, each with its its own private balcony that leads out to the central pool or into a private garden. Complete with a Dom Pérignon bar, a restaurant led by world-renowned chef Pierre Gagnaire, and a spa developed in partnership with Payot, I am feeling the need to go and stay there as a matter of priority.

Husband, my birthday is coming up soon and you asked me what I would like as a present… So… You know… You could take me here for a couple of weeks… No? Too extravagant? You think? Yeah, probably.

    Hotels so often disappoint but this is incredible. I think your husband could take as a research project :)

    Hi Dana – I’ve met you once before at the ACP exhibition (Nick’s photography classmate). You sooooo need to convince Nick to take you there! Tell him there’ll be lots of opportunities to practice photography :)

    PS. Love your blog!

    Thank you for your comments guys. And I like the way you think Sara & Clara – I should totally pitch the trip as “research” or “opportunity to practice photography”. Cunning…

    (Clara hi! Hope you are still taking lots of beautiful photos.)

    Oh, that is pretty. I find the wood panels on the wall very attractive: so very un-70’s which you may agree, is quite a talent… Loving the quiet slices of colour. On day.
