Oetker Collection expands to St. Tropez, debut set for 2027

The new St. Tropez property will be the 13th Masterpiece Hotel from Oetker Collection, comprised of 11 interconnected provencal houses conceived as a hamlet.

Oetker Collection announces the upcoming opening of a new property in St Tropez, in partnership with owners the Pariente and Essebag families. With the name forthcoming, the hotel is set to debut in time for the 2027 season. Conceived as a peaceful sanctuary, the property unfolds like a hamlet featuring several small two-story outposts, each offering panoramic views of the sea.

The St Tropez debut will mark the latest development in Oetker Collection’s crown, following the recently opened Hotel La Palma in Capri and the soon to be unveiled Vineta Hotel in Palm Beach.  The hotel will be reconstructed at the former site of Le Mas Bellevue St Tropez. Featuring 53 rooms and suites each with a private terrace or patio, featuring an infinity swimming pool, wellness facility, bar and restaurant and offer views of the surrounding landscape and the sea.

Olivier Raffaëlli, Founding Partner of Triptyque, envisioned it as a place where the soul of Saint-Tropez comes to life through its architecture, with an underlying ambition to create a sanctuary where the sea, the earth, and the sun bond in perfect harmony.Raffaëlli comments: “The hillside embracing the hotel is not just a backdrop but an integral part of the experience. It offers precious intimacy and panoramic views of the sea, like a well kept secret. Natural elements – stone, wood, Mediterranean vegetation – were chosen to enhance this sense of belonging to the land. The landscape itself becomes an extension of the architecture, blurring boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. He continues: “Every space within the hotel, from the rooms to the shared areas, was designed to provide a fully immersive sensory experience: the softness of the light, the scent of pine trees, the whisper of the breeze.”

Timo Gruenert, CEO of Oetker Collection, adds: “We are simply delighted to have such a trinity of new projects, from recently launching Hotel La Palma in Capri, to our forthcoming first US hotel with The Vineta Hotel in Palm Beach, and now St Tropez – all are bywords for glamour and destinations beloved by many of our dear guests. The St Tropez hotel contains all the ingredients of a true masterpiece, and we look forward to creating an unparalleled haven that embraces both the laid-back authenticity and sophistication of the region.”

Designed by French interior designers and architects Patrick Gilles and Dorothée Boissier of Paris-based studio Gilles & Boissier, the hotel will offer a sophisticated yet understated retreat.
