In Saint-Tropez, there are places you simply pass through, and others where you linger. Hotel Sezz is one of the rare establishments bringing together a Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant, a premium wine cellar, and a poolside cocktail bar within one single experience.
Located just a few minutes from the centre of Saint-Tropez and the beaches of Pampelonne, Sezz has become a benchmark for travellers seeking:
- - a fine dining restaurant,
- - a chic cocktail bar for sunset drinks,
- - a premium champagne cellar,
- - a bespoke stay on the French Riviera.
To mark World Cocktail Day on 13 May, here is why Sezz fully deserves its place among the finest addresses in Saint-Tropez.
Where to enjoy a sunset cocktail in Saint-Tropez?
The Dom Pérignon Bar at Sezz has become one of the most sought-after spots to enjoy a sunset cocktail on the French Riviera.
Set around the swimming pool and surrounded by Mediterranean greenery, it offers a signature cocktail menu crafted by a team specialising in contemporary mixology. The experience is defined as much by the setting as by the precision of the drinks served.
The head bartender and his team are constantly pursuing innovation. Every cocktail is designed down to the smallest detail, with each ingredient carefully selected.
The creations draw inspiration from Mediterranean flavours — lavender, basil, lemon, Italicus, grapefruit and orange — enhanced with exotic touches such as lychee, passion fruit, jalapeño, curcumin, vanilla and hibiscus.
Among the signature cocktails on the menu:
- - the Sezz Appeal, a perfectly balanced blend of vodka, vanilla syrup, lemon juice and cranberry,
- - the Tokyo Sakura, combining Roku gin, lychee liqueur, lavender syrup and hibiscus tonic,
- - several seasonal creations, renewed each summer and inspired by Mediterranean produce of the moment.
The bar also offers a selection of signature mocktails and alcohol-free creations made with French Bloom, now recognised as a benchmark in the world of premium alcohol-free celebratory drinks.
At Sezz, every member of the team brings their own personal touch: one of our bartenders’ favourite classics remains the Aperol Spritz, prepared with the standards expected of a five-star hotel.
Why is the Dom Pérignon Bar so popular?
A truly intimate lounge bar throughout the day, it is also the ideal after-beach destination to begin your evening in a chic and peaceful setting.
The venue appeals equally to hotel guests and outside visitors thanks to a rare combination of:
- - an intimate atmosphere,
- - a peaceful environment away from the bustle of the town centre,
- - a premium spirits selection,
- - high-end personalised service,
- - sunset views over the pool.
Open seven days a week from 11am to midnight, with no reservation required, the Dom Pérignon Bar also offers a snacking menu, perfect for enjoying a drink at any time of day: late brunch, after beach, aperitif or after-dinner drinks.
For many visitors, it is considered one of the best cocktail bars on the Riviera for starting or ending a summer evening.
A gastronomic restaurant with an exceptional wine cellar in Saint-Tropez
Colette Restaurant, Sezz’s fine dining venue, embodies culinary excellence. Michelin-starred, it offers generous plant-forward cuisine inspired by local artisans and producers. Chef Philippe Colinet, Maître Restaurateur, presents seasonal Mediterranean cuisine deeply rooted in Provence and the Riviera, elevated through a refined approach to food and wine pairings centred around prestigious French houses.
Carefully curated by our sommelier with precision and sensitivity, the wine list complements every stage of the meal. Featuring 120 references, the cellar notably highlights:
- - Dom Pérignon,
- - Moët & Chandon,
- - vintage champagnes,
- - selected cuvées designed to complement the restaurant’s cuisine.
Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 is among the most appreciated references to accompany seafood, premium poultry and matured cheeses. Moët Impérial Rosé, meanwhile, reveals its full character alongside more indulgent dishes such as smoked salmon, white meats or fruit desserts.
The wine list, a true tribute to the expertise of prestigious houses, makes Colette one of the most sought-after dining destinations on the Côte d’Azur. It has been designed to meet the expectations of an international clientele seeking:
- - prestigious French grands crus,
- - exceptional champagnes,
- - precise gastronomic pairings,
- - a high-end wine experience.
The sommelier’s approach mirrors that of the head bartender: the same attention to pairings, detail and quality.
Colette Restaurant is open for dinner from 7:30pm to 9:30pm — Thursday to Monday in May, June, September and October, and Wednesday to Sunday in July and August. Reservations are recommended both indoors and on the terrace. On Monday evenings, live music accompanies dinner from 8pm onwards, perfect for a romantic evening, dinner with friends or a family occasion.
