FAUCHON L’Hotel Paris and Capella’s hotels in Düsseldorf, Sanya, Shanghai, Singapore and Bali are newest members
Ultratravel Collection, the luxury arm of Global Hotel Alliance (“GHA”), today announced FAUCHON Hospitality has signed a membership agreement enabling FAUCHON L’Hotel Paris to join the collection. GHA is the world’s largest alliance of independent hotel brands and operator of the award-winning, multi-brand loyalty programme, DISCOVERY.
FAUCHON L’Hotel Paris is the first property under the FAUCHON brand. The luxury boutique hotel evolved from the famous French food purveyor, FAUCHON, founded by Auguste Fauchon. A second property, the FAUCHON Hotel Kyoto, will open in 2020. FAUCHON L’Hotel Paris blends the epitome of five-star hospitality with award-winning French gastronomy. Much more than just a hotel, FAUCHON L’Hotel Paris is a destination, offering its guests glamour and ultimate comfort, unforgettable dining experiences, the iconic Gourmet Bar, and stunning views of Paris.
Chris Hartley, CEO of GHA and Ultratravel Collection, is delighted to welcome such a famous brand name, while also creating the alliance’s first footprint in the City of Light: “We’ve waited a long time for our first hotel in Paris, and we could not be entering the market in more style than with the FAUCHON L’Hotel brand. Our DISCOVERY programme has just reached 15 million members, and most of them dream of a trip to Paris, which we can now offer with one of France’s most recognisable brand names and in one of the city’s most enviable locations.” The property is situated in the 8th Arrondissement.
Jacques-Olivier Chauvin, FAUCHON’s President and CEO, adds:
“Membership in the alliance, and in particular Ultratravel Collection, gives us excellent reach to a global audience, in particular the US and China, as we build awareness of FAUCHON L’Hotel brand, and expend FAUCHON Hospitality to new markets, including Japan in 2020, and other destinations we will be announcing soon.”
The integration of FAUCHON L’Hotel Paris into DISCOVERY and Ultratravel Collection will be completed by Q4 2019.
Meanwhile, five hotels under the Capella brand in Singapore, Bali, Shanghai, Sanya and Düsseldorf are now recognizing the 15 million DISCOVERY members with special privileges and unique benefits.
